Tiff's Turn

Three months! Three months! I can't believe they're 3 months already. Three months of age has brought some change to the schedule. It gives me a bit of anxiety changing it up, but this week we are trying something new. This includes sleeping 6 hours at a time at night- yessssss! Our schedule- due to change at any time with any sign of a nervous breakdown: 0615 Aria wakes 0700 triplets wake 0730 triplet bottles 0800 sit upright to reduce the amount of spitting up 0830 tummy time 0900 nap time for triplets 1030 triplets wake up and play 1130 bottles 1200 story time with sitting up 1230 nap time for Aria and hopefully the triplets too (Some days one stays awake, then falls asleep and another one wakes up immediately after) 1430 everyone wakes. 1530 triplet bottles 1600 play, tummy time, mat time, swing rotation 1930 bottles, bed 0200 bottles <watch baseball somewhere in between> repeat It seems like they are napping better with the 4 hour...

Aria fell asleep on her own. Watching Shark Week! Pedicure! Play hard, nap hard. Aria holds the bottle now. Fun times with Jillian Saturday night. We found the Belushi brothers Saturday night. Former Chiefs player Paul Coffman came to speak at our Bible study. Post-church lunch! And from Pinterest...

Aria: "Mommy, it's boring sitting down, being in my swing, playing on the floor, playing in my crib and reading books. Just walk around with me in your arms all day so I can stare at stuff." Me: "OK, baby, I will wear my carrier so you can hang with me while I do chores." Aria: "But I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP! OK...well maybe I do." Aria: "I need to stretch and grab things." Me: "OK, go play in the ocean with Gus." Aria: "And this Shamu whale sure is fascinating." Me: "Ari, Ari, Aria I love you!" Aria: "I love when you sing to me!" (Don't mind the house mess! ;/ )

I love nights when Aria doesn't wake up until after 5. Good news: that happened today. After Levi left for work, we watched Mickey Mouse.  Once she started acting tired of sitting up, I put her in her swing to finish the show. She eventually fell asleep and, good news, she needed no help from me. Awwww... Later in the day, Ari helped me shop for more fruit. Have I mentioned before how great it is that fruit is 0 Weight Watchers Points? Yes, I know I have. I can't help it, fruit being a 0 is good news. The highlight of my day's good news was getting this in the mail from Levi's mom (Grammy):  The 2014 Hamar Family Reunion information! A few years ago, Grammy put on a reunion in Valentine, NE and she's doing it again! We had a great time and Levi and I are thrilled to get to go again. Especially with our new addition in our family to show off. Good news: the baby took some good naps, and went to sleep with ease at night. ...
