Rolling poop!

Well our triplets have reached a milestone that not every parent would be as excited as I am. GROSS ALERT!!!! stop reading if you're not interested in poopy stories.... They are pooping in chunks!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! you probably wonder, why am I SO excited about a milestone like this one? which probably goes uncelebrated by most parents?! well, we use cloth diapers so now their poop just rolls right out of the diaper and I don't have to mess too much with it!!! no more poopy sprinkles on my toilet sit, bathroom walls and floor!! yay!!! not always we had this issue, but sometimes things can get out of control with the sprayer. You see daddy installed a sprayer right by the toilet to spray the poop out of the diaper and sometimes there would be poopy water sprinkles in places that I wouldn't want. Hey, don't get too disgusted because I did clean up all the poopy sprinkles as soon as they happened that type of thing always drives me crazy. Anyways, these chunks of poop are great except when you lose them while changing the baby. Tonight I was changing Alea and she had a poopy diaper and all of the sudden the poop rolled out some where and I couldn't find it! so I told Matt "Alea pooped and I don't know where the poop went!" and he was like "what do you mean?" I said "she pooped a little ball that rolled out of the diaper and I can't find it!!" but don't worry Matt did find the little ball and put it down the toilet, WHEW!! bless his heart:)

On a less disgusting note, Alea has been rolling back to tummy since Tuesday:) and now she wants to sleep on her tummy! I keep flipping her back and 5 minutes later she is on her tummy so last night I finally gave up on that and let her sleep on her tummy, I hope it's safe.
Armando has been stealing bobos (pacifiers) left and right! No paci is safe when el Señor Armando is around!! he has been pulling pacis right out of the girls' mouth!!!! even if he has one in his mouth!! We usually clip the pacis on their bibs and that hasn't stopped him from getting his way...

Arianna has gotten very loud!!! specially when Armando takes away her paci. She has been very quiet and shy, but now she is making sure her paci stays with her. She continues to steal all the toys from her siblings. Before they didn't care when a toy or bobo would be taken away from them, but now they cry if their toy gets stolen or if they can't steal a toy! so there have been a few melt downs with toy and bobo stealing! I just can believe this type of situation has started so early!!

Solids are going well considering that this is our second week at it. Armando has it down really good. Alea eats like a little kitty liking the spoon instead of opening her mouth and eating it. Arianna is doing very good too, but when she decides she is done, that's it!! even if mommy doesn't think she is done, we have to be done.

Oh, and best of all, we had started a new routine with the babies! now they are going to bed at 7:30pm instead of the 9:00 to 10:00pm routine that we had in the past. We noticed that they were tired and cranky by 7:00 so daddy and mommy have been watching movies, relaxing for a change, spending time together, and just enjoying each other's company:) this is WONDERFUL!

Daddy has been on vacation for a week and it has been a blast:) we do the solid feedings while he is at work so he doesn't get to feed them solids too often other than the weekends. So it was so funny to see him day after day telling the babies "keep your hands out of there!" or "can you let me handle the spoon and you just eat?" or "OHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOO she got the bowl, what a mess"! one day after he was done with Arianna, she had squash up her nose, eyes, hair, ears!! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


We had a wonderful Christmas with Matt's family. Since it is RSV season we left the babies home:( We only had one Christmas gathering since ALL my family is in my home country:( we started our family tradition for Christmas and we decided (I think) that we will open presents with our babies Christmas morning. Santa brought the babies cool toys:) noisy ones, but they love them so I don't really mind. Mom and dad got cool gifts too:) we gave each other the monster 12 cup food processor from Kitchenaid and a very nifty camcorder:)

Here are some random pictures and video:)
