Our Lives Loudly

18 months, a year and a half!! The last 6 months have been crazy with everything going on in the country so it feels like their birthday was soo long ago! 18 months is so fun! It is so hard - I think I can truthfully say I feel this is the hardest stage so far - yes; even harder than the newborn stage. Buckling up for the next few years of triplet toddlers running around!!  Updated weights from their 18 month checkup last week:  Elliott 26.2 lbs, 33 1/4” Samuel 25.4 lbs, 32”  Molly 20.4 lbs, 33”  Elliott - I say all the time now he’s my most laid back “easy” child. People may not understand that as he is still very clingy to me and gets very upset in new situations.

I have it easier than others, so what right do I have???? I am lucky enough to even have three healthy kids, and to be able to be a part of every moment of my kids days - some moms will never have that chance. That being said... the last month has been really hard.  The triplets will be 18 months in a few days. They are all walking (yay Molly got it down this past month!!) and chattering away. I’ll do an update on them after their check 18 month check up so I can record their weights/heights. Can’t wait to find out!  Being a stay at home mom is so hard, especially righ...
