Dr. Fierro today!

Today we had an appointment with the developmental neurologist. We played and played and played. My concerns going into the appointment were their small size and Ricky's speech.  The Dr said they are right where they need to be on the growth curve and they are not concerned at all. 50th% adjusted on growth chart. I asked her if they were going to be small men and she said more than likely not, they are just working on catching up. ;-)

As far as Ricky and speech. He is testing at a 14 month level. He is currently 21 months...22 in a few days. They have recommended we go from speech 1x a week to 2x a week for just him. Reese was right on track and she wasn't concerned with his learning. We are also going to take Ricky for a hearing test. She said that there are cases of fluid in the ear that doesn't stop hearing but muffles what he hears.

They are keeping us on a little longer until the boys can close the gap on their progress. I am so proud of my little munchkins. I know that this is Gods plan and that Ricky will not go to Kinder without speaking. Its on his time. <3

Fun day in the backyard!

Gorgeous weather and a breeze...we dont get many days like this! Daddy put together a playhouse I bought a year ago for the boys. They LOVED IT!! Ricky is very particular about keeping the door closed. I love watching him.

Reese and the hose! He wouldnt put it down!

Sand and water table. Reese put 25% of the sand on the grass. ;-)

I love watching them explore! They are so curious and love being outside. <3

Sears picture day...from hell

I decided to get the boys pictures. We have never gone before because of my germ fears. I thought it would be easy. Thank goodness I had a friend off of work to come and help!! The day started off with wrinkled clothes and no iron in sight... just got better from there! I am actually very impressed with how the pictures came out!

Story of their little lives.

Thank you Sears for running over an hour late and having no A/C in the picture room!

My little Reese. He is so beautiful!!

Love this!

We got this picture of Ricky right after the tears stopped. I love this kid so much!

Mommy learned so many lessons today. Thank you again Sears. ;-)

ITS A GIRL!!!

I couldn't wait until 19 weeks to see the Dr. With a little begging my wonderful husband let me make an appointment at a sonogram place to find out the sex early. At 15 weeks we found out ITS A GIRL!!! We have decided to name her Charlie...middle name still unknown. We brought Elizabeth, Zeke and all of our kids with us to find out. I started crying as soon as I saw those beautiful 3 lines I was Praying to find. I can't help but feel that Robbie has a hand in all of this. :-) Let the shopping begin!!

First sonogram for our rainbow baby!

The wait for this appointment has been excruciating! 9 weeks of hoping and praying. To be honest, I was convinced there was two babies. Elizabeth watched the babies for Patrick and I to go to the appointment. It is JUST ONE BABY! One healthy, beautiful and loved baby. The sonogram pictures were bad quality..it was so hard to see the little nugget. I did see and hear the strong heartbeat. What a beautiful gift to be given. :-)

First date for mommy and daddy since the triplets were born!

It only took me 18 months to leave them. I could have gone much longer. We had grandma Sylvia and Grandpa Rick come over for two hours while we went to go eat. I convinced Patrick to take me to staples and lowe's on the way home. Its amazing how enjoyable strolling through Lowe's can be without a baby timer. ;-) It was great to have some alone time with my hunny.

Merry Christmas!

Beautiful christmas with all of my kiddos! The big kids were so happy with the few presents they were given. The babies of course had fun with the boxes and the paper. We found out a few weeks ago they we are expecting our last baby!

Robbie was with us all this Christmas. Not a day goes by that she is not in my thoughts...the holidays even more so.

Ricky

2011 has been wonderful for us. I can't wait for 2012. Merry Christmas!
