First tooth, first bruise and a new helmet!

The past few days have been quite exciting. First on Tuesday Max got his first tooth. You still can't really see it but it is there! On Wednesday we had helmet appointments for Will and Levi. Levi is doing really well, but there was not much of a change in Will. We mentioned how we thought the helmet was too loose and she agreed and he had to be casted for a new helmet. So Will will get his second helmet next Wednesday. Hopefully this one will do the job! Wednesday night Max was rolling everywhere as usual. One of the other boys was crying so I was holding him and couldn't get to Max in time before he rolled into the corner of the wall. Needless to say he now has a small bruise on his forehead. I think he needs a helmet too as much as he runs into things!!! I am sure it is the first of many many bruises to come. Finally this morning Levi's first tooth came through! Needing a new helmet and getting a bruise aren't very exciting, but we are very excited about Max and Levi getting their first tooth!

6 month doctor appointments

The boys had their 6 month check-up last week and yesterday they had their 6 month follow-up with the neonatologist that took care of them in the NICU. They are doing awesome! When the neonatologist walked in he asked why we were there because those were the healthiest triplets he has seen! We were very excited to hear that. Developmentally they are on track for their true age of 6 months. They should actually only be doing stuff a 4 month old would be doing. Because of their prematurity we should have to follow-up with his clinic until they are at least age 2, but because they are doing so well we do not have to go back unless we suspect there is a problem. We are truly blessed that Will, Max and Levi made it to this world as healthy as they did and that they are now doing so well and are so healthy. We are very fortunate and grateful. Here are their latest sizes:

Will 15 lb. 5 oz. 26" long

Max 17 lb 15 oz 26.5" long

Levi 15 lb. 6 oz. 25.5" long

They can now eat stage 2 baby food which includes more fruits and veggies and now meat. It smells disgusting, but they seem to love it. They also received their first dose of the flu shot and will get their next dose the beginning of December.

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My! First Halloween!

The boys first Halloween was so much fun! Will was a Lion, Levi was a Tiger and Max was a Bear! They were so adorable. They didn't even mind the costumes for a long while until they got hot. We went Trick-or-Treating at Great Grandma and Grandpa Weber's where we also saw Grandpa and Grandma Weber and a few Aunts and Uncles and then we went to Grandpa and Grandma Hackmann's. They got a few dollars for their piggy banks and they got some candy for mom and dad!!!
