As always, it was a busy week! I worked from home on Tuesday so Megan could take Steven for a helmet adjustment without having to drag Sammy and Amaya along.

Steven was excited about his solo adventure.

In the afternoon, Amaya decided that she (and Sophie) wanted to help me work. She’s a fantastic helper! Very motivational.

We bought a baby jail for our living room and decided to test it out. It’s a reasonable size and will work in a number of situations. It’s going to be particularly helpful as we get babies in and out of the car once we transition to our convertible car seats.

On Tuesday night I filmed this time lapse video, inspired by another triplet mom. These 26 seconds took place over the course of ~20 minutes. I need to do more of these!

We had a big milestone this week! Our first photos of all 3 babies sitting up! Sammy can sit for quite a while now. Steven isn’t as adept but he’s sitting better and better every day.

Steven, Sammy and Amaya love to watch their Big Sister Sally Cat. This was a big anniversary for us. Sally and I celebrated our TEN year Sallyversary. As I said elsewhere, she’s the best. We met shortly before I moved from NY to FL and she has been right by my side ever since. She’s moved from NY to FL and then up to MI and we’ve lived in 7 homes together. Sally embraced Jason and now she’s a protector of Steven, Sammy and Amaya, sitting outside their nursery when they cry and letting them gently pet her. I was worried that I’d feel differently about Sally after I had human babies but I love her as much as I ever did. Maybe more.

And daddy had this playtime, too!

This weekend, Papa Gene and Uncle Austin came to visit from NY and Pittsburgh, respectively. What fun!! And what good timing. I did something to my back yesterday morning and they were so helpful getting us through the weekend. Steven, Sammy and Amaya love their Papa and uncle!

We set up some baby gates this weekend. We need to be one step ahead of these babies. Literally!

So, we don’t watch TV with the babies (and they don’t watch it without us) but the Lions were playing in London this morning at 9am. Ordinarily, I’d have just fed them in the playroom but I’m out of commission because of my back so Jason made this set up. Worked like a charm. 🙂

Today we tried eggs! Our pediatrician told us to go for it at 9 months actual so we went for it. I was super nervous because it’s the first food we served that could be an allergen but they did great! No rashes or other symptoms of any kind. I know these things can develop but I’ll breathe a little more easily the next time they get a tasty morning scramble.

Steven and Amaya seemed to like the eggs. Jury may still be out for Sammy. We also gave them broccoli with this meal which is the start of serving multiple foods at one time.

Here are just a few more pictures from the week.

A chaotic photo with all 3 of my wonderful babies. Have a great week!
