It's been awhile...

I just realized that I have not posted in 2 months!  It is crazy how quickly time just seems to pass by when raising 4 crazy kiddos.  We have had a really fun summer and have one more trip planned at the end of the month!

This summer has contained pool days, a splash pad, HersheyPark, a trip to the Erie Zoo with another triplet family, the boys first and second hair cuts, and many more adventures!

They are 14.5 months and are always on the move.  Always!  Garrett was the first to learn to walk and now he is walking pretty much everywhere.  Daniel was a week or so behind him, but is also primarily walking everywhere.  They did this crazy knee walking for about a month before they actually walked... Well Ryder is doing the knee walk now, so I don't think it will be much longer before he is walking well.  He can take 3-4 steps now, but is just as content to crawl or climb on anything!  

They are starting to repeat words, but I'm a terrible mom and I'm not really sure who can say what because they all have random words at random times.  Ryder is definitely the most consistent with his signs, but he also whines when he wants something just like the other two.

They love to read and point at pictures, they love to build with their mega bloks and they love to attempt puzzles.  Their newest trend has also been baby dolls.  We had a solid week of having to carry a specific doll up and down stairs because Garrett had to have it at all times.  Fortunately Madelynn has a set of triplet baby dolls and she graciously let her brothers have them (for now at least).  We were also given a swing set by a very sweet family in our church and that is definitely one of our big favorites right now.

That pretty much sums up the summer as it stands at this point (I am sure I'm missing many things!).  I'll add some pictures and hopefully I do a better job of staying on top of updating the blog!

Erie Zoo Adventure!  4 adults and 10 kids! (Ok it was actually 7 adults and 11 kids, but just our two families comprised the first statistic!)
