Golden

Today the boys turn 2!!  That means today is their golden birthday.  I almost can't believe it.  I can still see the day they were born so clearly in my head.  There were at least 30 people crammed into the operating room and people looking in the window on the door to see them being born.  I can also remember being surprised when the dr. said, "Here comes baby A!" and not knowing that they had even started.  Suddenly Aiden was filling the room with a loud cry.  No surprise there..he's still really loud.  :)  Then came little Noah, which is ironic because he's by far the biggest now.  Finally Reese came and his cry was so quiet we couldn't really hear it.  I was so worried about him.  He's still the one that makes me worry all the time. 

2 years later they're busy playing with trains and having conversations with each other.  I can't believe it.  My babies aren't really babies any more.  Honestly, I'm relieved.  I'm not worried that they'll just forget to keep breathing, wondering if they're eating enough and thinking about how terribly long the night is (although..more on that later).  It never gets easier to have 3 at once, it just gets different (if that makes sense).  Now the hard part is so different..tantrums, potty training and general stubborn behavior.  I love every age and right now I love how verbal they are and how much they learn every day. 

As for nights.  Ms. Devyn is not the easiest baby.  I think that's putting it nicely.  She has reflux and has a crampy tummy.  It makes for fussy days and often uncomfortable nights.  Not to mention she wants to eat constantly because it feels good on her reflux.  So I have to try to keep her happy without letting her eat all the time.  She has some serious rolls starting on her legs!  :)  It's pretty darn cute to have rolly legs when you're a baby.   She is one month old as of last Saturday and smiled at me for the first time.  I suppose I shouldn't be so flattered though.  I caught her smiling at the ceiling fan last night. 

Now I'm off to spend a day with my 3 crazy 2 year old boys.  It's raining like crazy and they are all yelling, "It's raining!" out the window.  I suppose we'll just have to have fun inside today.  Happy Birthday to my 3 favorite little boys.  We often wonder what life was like before them and decide it must have been really boring.  They bring so much joy and craziness to our life.
