In a recent survey of triplets in Manchester, two out of three triplets reported they like sippy cups that have straws in them so they do not have to tilt their heads back like they do with a normal sippy cup.  What about the other third?  The other third of those surveyed reported they dont really understand either kind of sippy cup yet.

Lydia is doing the best with the new sippy cups that have integrated straws.  Jonathan does okay.  But Anna just has not caught on with either one yet.  The real shame is we received some sippy cups as presents, and bought a whole bunch of others just because we liked them and thought we'd use them.  But the problem seemed to be they dont know to how to tilt the sippy cup in the air so they can get what's in it.  So we bought two two-packs of sippy cups with integrated straws to try.  If we could just get Anna to come around with those, we'd be set.

Daddy is having trouble adjusting his body to the new work schedule.  Daddy likes working 7 - 4.  But daddy's sleep pattern has not adjusted.  It used to be that daddy would fall asleep almost immediately after laying down, and sleep straight through till morning.  Now daddy does not fall asleep as easily, seems to wake up throughout the night, and then has trouble getting up.  Of course, Fuzzy crying at the top of her lungs at times doesn't help matters (we still dont fully know why Fuzzy does that).

The other day Daddy stood Jonathan up and got him balanced.  Then Daddy let go of Jonathan's arms.  He managed to stay standing unassisted for about 10 - 12 seconds before falling back onto his behind.

This morning Mommy was trying to dress Anna when she decided to pick up Jonathan's shorts, pull them over her head, and started giggling like crazy.

Lydia has been pretty vocal again lately.  Especially when Mommy & Daddy are NOT in their playroom, she starts saying "Dooga-dooga-dooga-dooga-dooga-dooga".  It is so cute to hear her when she does that.

We got to visit with the other family with triplets last week for the first time in a while.  We went after Daddy got home from work, and they picked up pizza/wings for all of us to have for dinner.  Their little guys have definitely grown, but still seem little since we are used to how big our trio is (especially Jonathan).  We just hung out, played with babies, and watched a movie on HBO.  It was nice to get out and visit other people for a change.
