Three Lees in a Pod plus the Little Sprout: The Climbing is Starting to Get Out of Hand

On June 25, 2008, at 30 weeks gestation, we welcomed our three Lees in a pod to our family. Piper was born at 12:36 p.m. weighing 3 pounds 2 ounces, Henry followed at 12:37 p.m. weighing 3 pounds 15 ounces, and Rosemary showed up last at 12:37 p.m. weighing 1 pound 14 ounces. On August 2, 2008, Piper came home from the NICU at what would have been 35 weeks and 3 days of gestation weighing 4 pounds 15 ounces. On August 7, 2008, Henry followed and came home at what would have been 36 weeks and 1 day of gestation weighing 6 pounds. Finally, on August 16, 2008, at what would have been 37 weeks and 3 days gestation, Rosemary came home weighing 4 pounds 4 ounces. On August 10, 2010, at 39 weeks and 4 days gestation, we welcomed Penelope to our family. She was born at 12:35 p.m. weighing 7 pounds 14.8 ounces. On August 13, 2010, she and her mama came home from the hospital on the same day, with Penelope weighing in at 7 pounds 4 ounces.

The Climbing is Starting to Get Out of Hand

Last week we had to move the changing table out of the playroom for many reasons, not the least of which is that Henry started climbing it. Another thing that the babies have been loving is pushing things around the playroom -- puzzles, trucks, dolls, their little monogrammed chairs. . . .

Considering this new combination of moving things around and climbing, I suppose we shouldn't have been surprised to see this yesterday (yes, that is SweetLittleRosemary):

Luckily Gary got to Rosemary before she tried to take her climbing to the next step.

Just one year ago today, we finally had all three babies home from the hospital. It was almost impossible then to imagine that we would be where we are now with three healthy, happy and very active babies. I have a feeling that things are about to get very interesting around our house. . . .
