The time is going by so fast. In less than a week the babies will be 6 months old - incredible. The last week of October all three babies discovered their hands, which they spend ample time investigating and sucking on (which doubles as sign language to mom for "feed me!"). They have also discovered each other and are just fascinated with their new-found friends! They are constantly scanning their surroundings for each other and insist on staring at one of the other babies whenever they can - even if it means craning their necks to the side while feeding to get a good look at brother or sister. Oliver loves sitting up now and is constantly working those tummy muscles trying to get himself into a sitting position (but still requires a little help from mommy or daddy). He also giggled for the first time yesterday while daddy was flapping his arms like a chicken:) Audrey has been "talking" a lot and even lets out little squeals of delight from time to time. And it seems that little miss Grace has finally found her appetite! For so long she has been eating like a bird and it has been a constant struggle to get the volume down that she is supposed to be eating, but for the past few days she has been eating like a champ - and loudly letting us know if she's still hungry and wants more! Here are some recent pictures including some from the babies' first Halloween!
