Well folks, here they are - and the proof that some of you out there needed that yes, they are still alive :-)
the hours are long and strenuous, with usually only gaseous smiles and returned formula ast the only rewards (we won't drag diapers into this), but there are moments you wouldn't have it any other way (small ones, but they're there).
Don't let this innocent picture fool you - she's definitely not always this complacent. Poor Taylor has had her share of hard times, seemingly taking on all the misfortune so that her other siblings can have an easier start to life.
She's a bit on the 'cholicy' side, meaning very fussy most of the time, with healthy doses of crying and periods of extreme unhappiness (unfortunately this usually starts around 9pm).
The best we can look forward to, as we try all sorts of remedies to try and ease her troubles, is that when the 'magic' fourth month rolls around her tummy will catch up to the rest of her and stop causing her discomfort.
Taylor currently weighs 8lbs, 8oz.
Matthew certainly had a long way to go compared to the girls, but lately he really started to make a forward push.
Although still a bit on the 'whiny' side, he has grown to 8lb 9oz, and is beginning to keep himself happy (albeit only if his pacifier is handy)
Amanda - Well, what can we say about the "Golden Girl?"
She sleeps well, only cries when there's something wrong - basically if she were an only child one would already be thinking about another.
She certainly easts well also, proving it as she weighed in at 8lb 12oz.
Samantha is our little fireball. While Matthew has gotten the verbal catagory down first, Sam smiles more than anybody else.
Also, she is the most physically active - already pushing herself up while on the floor and trying to roll (at two months, mind you)
Sam, not to be outdone as the last one out, now weighs the most at 8lb 13oz.
