When we left off last week, we had moved Steven, Sammy and Amaya to the table. Well, it was short lived! We’ll try again soon but, for now, they need a bit more structure at meal time.

See what I mean?

I’m continuing the attempts at spoon feeding. It’s fun but soooooooo messy.

Today we took the triple wagon out for the first time. I think it’s a hit!

Before some more group photos from the week, here are everyone’s individual adventures.

Megan is in CA for a few days & I came home early on Friday so she could catch her flight. Steven woke from his nap first so we had some time together in my bed. Goodness, he was so happy to just lie there and look up at the ceiling fixture! I love these pictures of him!

Yesterday, Steven and I had a Mommy/Steven trip to the mall. (How do I pick who to take? Randomly. I assign a letter to everyone and Jason picks a letter for me. Otherwise I’d spend the whole afternoon trying to make the decision and feeling badly about whoever I left home.)

I didn’t have any specific objective so we ended up at the Build-A-Bear store where Steven created his new friend, Cookie! One paw roars. The the other paw says, “Steven, Sammy and Amaya… Mommy loves you!” He has to share Cookie with his brother and sister.

Two more of Steven from the week.

The Sam Man. Happy as a clam in a chair.

Sammy had the chance to go with Daddy on Daddy’s weekly grocery trip. So much to see!

This morning, I went into the nursery just after 7am and Sammy was faaaaaaast asleep. I got Steven and Amaya out of their cribs, turned on some lights and still… faaaaaaast asleep. Lucky boy!

We’re in the long process of weaning off night bottles. Steven, Sammy and Amaya still take almost full 8oz bottles at night so it’s not a fast process. On Thursday, we started offering a cup of milk before bottles to give them a chance to drink from the cup instead.

Last night, Sammy took a bit from his sippy cup and then held it while he drank his bottle.

Tonight, he drank 7.5oz of milk from his cup! BYE, BYE BOTTLES, SAMMY!!

I should mention, too, that today Amaya drank 24oz of milk! She still likes her bedtime bottle but she’s got the daytime milk routine down pat.

Finally, Sammy learned a new trick! He can climb on the furniture. Holy cow, are we in trouble!! Go, Sammy go!!

Amaya! Amaya likes Cookie a LOT. In fact, I think her brothers will have to fight hard for their time with Cookie.

Amaya loves to sit. Not on the floor, but on a chair or stool or ledge like a big girl.

So Jason had a great idea… we moved the shelf up so she can sit in her book nook more comfortably. Amaya approves!

Still sassy.

She can even be fancy in PJs.

This is what we live with, haha.

Sleeping babies

Holding hands while Steven tries to settle himself at bedtime.

Playtime with daddy!

Early Sunday morning fun.

And, finally, the first walk outside of the season! On Monday, my mom and Megan bundled up Sammy, Steven and Amaya and took them for a walk in the neighborhood. The cute coats are from cousins Spencer and Jamie and the gorgeous, hand knit hats are from Louise Mandelman.

I wasn’t there but, from their faces, you can tell that they are ready for spring. And so am I!!
