Lila's first do-rag. Getting ready for a laser scan of her head.
Lila's new accessory
Addie
Mr. Man
Where do I begin... The kids are just growing so quickly. We have been worried about Little Lila P's weight. Well, the girl has risen to the weight gain challenge. Last week she weighed 13lbs 12ozs, an increase of over two pounds in 6 weeks! Go girl! Miss Addie now has two teeth, and she is not afraid to use them. She has found that it feels better to gnaw on Will's fingers than her own. Smart girl! Addie and Will can both sit up, although they still will topple over sometimes. And, finally, we have a crawler. Well, an army crawler. I am not going to tell you who it is. I am going to make you all guess!
As you can see from the pictures, Lila now has her helmet. Today and tomorrow, she will cycle through an hour of wear followed by an hour without wear. We will increase the duration of wear until we work up to 23 hours per day on day five. The doctor warned us that the helmet will make her sweat profusely. It does. Part of me would would like to next five days to go slowly. I love to see her pretty little face and will hate to see it covered with the helmet.
I was certainly startled to see Lila in the helmet the first time. I am very curious about strangers' response. People are quite curious to see the triplets and often come to talk to me. After getting a glimpse of Lila in the helmet, I wonder if people will keep a little more distance. A social experiment, I guess. My little Lila is still gorgeous.
And for me. I have finished school (FOREVER), and I am enjoying more time at home. I am catching up on 7 months of laundry. (Ok, it's bad, but not quite that bad.) I have started my long list of "to dos," and I feel like I am regaining some control of my life. I have found a walking buddy. The walks were difficult at first, given my loss of muscle from months of bedrest. But, we're now up to 3.5 miles per walk. It feel so good to be active again.

oh my gosh, those babies are beautiful! i love lila's new accessory too :) i am sure after a while, you will get used to it. it can't hide that adorable face!
at first i would have guessed will was your crawler, but in that picture of addie it looks like she just may have figured it out. great news on the weight gain. and the sitting too!
congratulations on finishing school, that really is an incredible accomplishment. i hope that you enjoy your newfound freetime! and yay for finding a walking buddy - i really need to start getting back in shape too!
any idea when you all want to get together?
I say follow Deek's advice, slap a Raiders logo on that helmet and if anybody says anything they'll have to deal with the entire Raider Nation.
