Hey Everyone:
Just thought that I would give you a quick update, since the babies are changing so fast now it’s amazing….
Latest Weights:
Josh & George: 13lbs
Hannah: 12lbs 12ozs
This means that George is not the smallest baby anymore….. The babies have lost all their newborn hair and are all blonde now…. Josh and George have about the same amount and Hannah still has the least…
Hannah is really blossoming, she is way ahead of the boys in fine motor skills, she can reach up and grab things on purpose. She loves to play on the playmat and grab the mobiles that hang above her. She also uses her left hand alot, so we are wondering if she might be left-handed, too early to tell. She also has quite the little temper and goes from happy to very mad, very quickly. I think that Hannah looks like a little Rossow, and alot like Kathy…
Josh is still the strongest baby, he can roll from his stomach to his back both ways now, he can almost roll from his back to his stomach… he is really good at holding up his head and large muscle movement, but has a way to go on fine motor skills. Josh loves to smile and laugh, but he has also gotten a little whiny. Josh has a problem with settling down to take naps so alot of times he gets overtired and very cranky. I think Josh looks like a little Erickson, I think he would fit right in with my cousin Danny Olson’s kids and you wouldn’t know he wasn’t a little brother…..
George has really come into his own this last week…. he has started to make alot of happy sounds and smiles alot more…. even though he still smiles alot less than the other two, his smiles are quick and brief. He now looks happy alot of the time, instead of worried…. he is probably the least physical of all the babies, but he has very strong legs and can stand (supported) much longer than the other two…. I think George looks like a little Johnson, like me when I was a baby… his double chin reminds me of my Dad…. the Rossow’s have said he looks like a little Burdine…
Surprising to us, the babies have started to eat at little less (the Dr. said this would happen), they have also started to wake up in the middle of the night alot more… so our sleep is actually going down…. this weekend we took the babies to an Apple orchard, I think we are getting a taste of what it would be like to be famous, the other triplet parents warned us this would happen… wherever we take the Triplets people follow us around or make comments to us or stop us to see the babies…. it’s fun, but gets really old after awhile…. all you here is “Oh my God”, then they run away and come back with someone else “Martha, you have to see this”…. if you stop moving you can really get a crowd gathered around you really quickly…
Here are some very cute pre-Halloween pictures that Grandma Rossow took yesterday when they were passing through the Cities, the outfits are a gift from Auntie Kristin and Gang, and the little hat is from Grandpa Rossow.
