Triplets at 10 months

I can't believe how much the babies have changed in just a few weeks. So much personality. So different from each other. 

Beau has grown three teeth in 1 week. (2 bottom and r side incisor) She and Gigi added "Dog" to their repertoire. 

Gigi enjoys using the word dog to call out to every animal and to her father. Very funny to see him correct her and than, almost as if joking, she says dog again and laughs.

Carlos, still my lover. Likes to give kisses and eats using his whole fist to push food in while his sisters use two finger, fine motor skills. 

They know what it means when I say " No se toca!" Don't touch. But Gigi, my troublemaker, looks at me and laughs before she  goes right back to the naughty business. There is routine to the day, but it doesn't mean it is any less non-stop. 

   A man on the phone yesterday let his true thoughts slip yesterday when he said, "So you just stay at home, right?" I didn't even feel bad about it. It IS what I do, REALLY. It was just, that I know what he imagines my day to be and how different it really is from that image I will try to tell you.

The days change but the routine doesn't change much except to add more things into it. Like I don't even mention all the carrying of babies and nursing that is still going on.So yes, I stay at home and I dare that man to try and do it. He won't last 30 minutes. 

I love this video of Mike. It shows how he lost to a 10 month old.

Can any girl love him more than his sister?

She makes bars look good.

My future baller

I love this series of Beau at the glass door. 

Can any man love me this much?

Can you see her three teeth?

The girls play peek a boo

Gigi

My Romeo

Gigi has the best toothless grin I've ever seen. It's hard to ever get mad at her.

Carlos and his favorite brush. We call him "Vidal Sasson"
