I'm way overdue on this post. Better late than never, right?
weights:
Estimates:
Oliver - 26 and change
Nolan - 22 lbs and change
Lucas - Around 22 lbs
sizes:
Oliver - 18-24 month clothes, size 5W shoes
Nolan - 12-18 month clothes, size 4.5 shoes
Lucas - 12-18 month clothes, size 4.5 shoes
teeth (no change):
Oliver - 16
Nolan - 16
Lucas - 16
eating habits:
Not much has changed. They are still pretty inconsistent with their eating, but overall I'd say they're just typical toddlers.
sleeping habits:
Things have been better. Not completely better, but certainly better than they were. We've actually had several nights where we've slept through the night. We might be crazy though. We're currently trying to reintegrate Nolan back into the boys' room. We started today at nap time, which did not go well. Bedtime wasn't much better. Hopefully it won't take long for him to feel comfortable in there.
gross motor:
We're starting to climb a little. I know lots of people whose kids climb all over everything. I'm actually pretty glad our boys aren't like that. It would give me a heart attack. We did have to get rid of the end table in our living room though because they started climbing onto it and then over onto the couches. They're getting much better at climbing the steps to go down a slide. And they are pros on the stairs! They usually just crawl on the stairs, but will walk if they are holding my hand.
fine motor:
Ollie and Nolan are doing better and better with a spoon, while Lucas still has very little desire to even try. All three boys have mastered the concept of coloring though they still like to try and eat the crayons.
language/communication (new words underlined)
Oliver - waves, claps, gives/blows kisses, points to his head, nose, eyes, mouth, and belly button when asked, signs all done, milk, more, thank you & says mama, dada, hi, hey, uh-oh, auntie, ball, banana, wow, stinky, yeah, three
Nolan - waves, claps, gives/blows kisses, signs all done, milk, ball, eat, thank you & says mama, dada, ball, done, book, baa, uh oh, apple, hot dog, cookie, banana, cheese, cracker, shoes, baseball
Lucas - waves, claps, gives/blows kisses, signs all done, milk, more, ball, please, thank you, eat & says mama, dada, done, ball, uh oh, apple, banana, cookie, cupcake, cheese, thank you, more, stinky
Nolan has started saying more over the last several days. All three boys are still very inconsistent with their language. Many of the words they say one day, then they won't say them again for several days (or ever). They often still just whine when they want something instead of using their words (even if they know them). They will sometimes do the sign for what they want, but again that's not always consistent.

special outings/events:
We've gotten outside a lot more since the weather has gotten nicer (park, zoo, etc). We also went to Block Fest sponsored by Parents as Teachers, Paradise Park with Aunt Jen and cousin Dakota, and the St. Patty's Day parade downtown.
