These pictures were taken right after Colin started REALLY walking. He was so proud of himself walking across the room back and forth. It's amazing to see how much smoother he has become with his walking now since these pictures were taken just over 6 weeks ago! We had their NICU followup appointment last Thursday. Once again Colin amazes me! The developmental therapist did a series of tests with each triplet and Colin scored the highest! He did the most imitating and followed instructions the best. He understood and pointed to pictures to answer the therapist's questions. He put puzzles together. We're so proud of all 3 of these little guys!
Our triplets were born on December 27, 2008 at St. John's Mercy Medical Center. Each baby weighed 3 lbs. 4 oz. Andrew Martin was delivered first followed by Colin Bryan both at 8:09. Finally Daniel Louis arrived at 8:10. Colin was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect shortly after birth. Colin's heart surgery was on January 6, 2009 and his recovery has been nothing short of a miracle! Thanks for visiting our blog and reading about all 3 of our little miracles!

Lion, Tiger and Bear...Oh my!!
So Daniel was the Tiger because that costume was the smallest. Colin was the Bear because he was the guy who used to growl and we called him our little bear. Andrew was the Lion because it seemed to fit and there were no choices left! Jack did not like the idea I had of him being Zookeeper Jack. He thought Batman was a fine idea so I had to agree! It was chilly that night, but they stayed warm in their costumes. We did a little trick or treating in Bayberry subdivision with Uncle John and kids. From there we drove by so Mums and Poppa could see everyone. It was a busy day and we all slept well that night!
Trick or Treating done! Heading home now...
Lounging around!

Zerberts!
We call these belly kisses "zerberts" as coined by Bill Cosby on The Cosby Show. That's where I heard the word zerbert! I even googled zerbert and found a definition: It is described as the act of pressing one's lips on a soft area of another person's flesh, such as their facial cheek, and blowing, producing a noise similar to that created by flatulence. Unlike blowing a raspberry (which is meant as an insult and a sign of disrepect), a Zerbertt is considered a sign of respect and affection
Very interesting indeed! All I know is I give the occasional zerbert on the cheek or belly and now they are zerberting each other. Funny boys!
