The Hoelzle Cousins

The triplets finally got to meet their Hoelzle cousins, Jonas, Willah and Lizzy.

Naked Time

Rose has been giving Mercedes naked time to help her diaper rash. The boys were getting jealous so Rose gave everyone a little nay-nay time.

Uncle Paul is a riot!

Reese and Uncle Paul had a good time over Christmas... Reese wanted to take him home to Dayton, but we couldn't fit him in the minivan and he absolutely refused to ride on the roof rack.

Merry Christmas!!!

Uncle Joe gave the triplets some fashionable hats for Christmas. They really liked their new duds... well, most of the time.

A Note on Baby Clothes

The Lounsbury triplets continue to perch on the cutting edge of baby fashion. Mercedes makes a bold statement in her psychadelic 70's throwback onesie. Disco ain't dead for this baby! Orlando tells the big kids there's no need to hide it. He has room for seconds in these full-body sweatpants jammies. I think I'll order a pair for next Thanksgiving.

Peas, Please

The babies have embarked on a culinary adventure to the land of pureed vegetables. True to form, Reesie is enjoying every bite. Lando took some convincing, but when we told him eating veggies will help him remain the biggest, he got on board. Mercedes is, well, Mercedes. Princesses have a hard time adjusting to change.

Helping in the Kitchen

One of my (Rose) favorite moments recently was when Orlando woke up early from a nap and "helped" Daddy make chicken soup in the kitchen. Then 'Cedes woke up and wanted to get in on the action, too. I think the change of scene was very interesting for them. They get sick of being in the living room all day with mommy!

Just like Mom and Dad

You can see where these babies get their stellar good looks...

Orlando loves to smile!

Lando

This bottle is so tasty... This rattle is so tasty... This bib is so tasty... This hand is so tasty...

Reesie

Cedes

Playland

I want to hold your hand...

Orlando and Reese were laying next to each other so I could (attempt to) entertain them both at the same time... and then... they grabbed each other's hands. It was so cute!!!

Play Dates

These pics were taken a couple weeks ago, while the babies were in Michigan. They had many visitors, including play dates with the Steck and Wernet girls. Courtney and Ben also visited. The babies are excited for Court and Ben to welcome another new friend for them this May! Congrats!

Smiley time...
