6 months old!
Sammy, Livi, and Benjamin are 1/2 year old as of yesterday! We can't believe we have gotten half way through the first year. I remember a nurse in the NICU, who also had triplets, telling us the first 4 months are the hardest to get through. In many ways I think she was right; it is getting easier. They start to develop their interests in their surroundings and can entertain themselves. Now the three are starting to attempt to sit on their own. No one is scooting yet, but we can see that is coming. Benjamin is the most eager to do so. He lays on his chest and kicks his legs behind him vigorously, unfortunately not hitting anything from which to kick off. It is not for lack of trying. Livi seems fairly uninterested in this form of movement and seems to holding out for the walking. Sammy likes to stand too, so they may both skip this step.
What is really amazing is that a year ago we were just coming to terms with our life changing news. Now we have three little people to wake up to each morning who are becoming each their own little self each day. A made cupcakes for the event and we each ate one on their behalf. They celebrated with carrots. If only I celebrated more things with carrots - I might not be wearing glasses or an undisclosed pants size.
