Silly boys

Blue October
We've been having so much fun with the Royals this fall...first their amazing post-season play and now the World Series! The last time the Royals were in the World Series back in 1985, I was the same age as the boys are now. Pretty cool.
Aside from dressing in our blue nearly everyday, we've also been doing ball park theme dinners (hot dogs, chili dogs, nachos, pretzels, buffalo wings, etc.) Certainly not healthy, but fun.
Our boys have looked pretty handsome sporting their blue! Go Royals!

Go, Ollie, Go!!!
Well folks, we have our third walker! Ollie wasn't about to be left behind. I got this sweet video of him this evening. My voice is about 2 full octaves higher than normal. Can you tell I was excited?!? I wish I would have kept the video going because afterwards both Nolan and Lucas started clapping for Ollie. It was the cutest thing ever...and of course, I cried.
My babies are growing up!

The Cutest Thing - Pt. 3
If you haven't seen my The Cutest Thing and The Cutest Thing - Pt. 2 posts, you should definitely go check them out. Every few months I like to make note of what I think the cutest thing about each of my children is at that time.
Oliver - We have a couple different shape sorters and Ollie loves them both. He's really good at getting the shapes in. It's really cute to watch because whenever he gets on to go in, he'll then stop and clap for himself before going on. It's adorable.
Nolan - Nolan has been learning his animal sounds. Anytime we ask him what a sheep says, he'll reply, "Baa baa!" It's really cute. The funny thing is he'll say "baa" for most other animals as well. The only other animal sound he knows is the sound a duck makes. He doesn't always do it on cue, but anytime we watch the Micky Mouse Clubhouse Theme Song, he'll start quacking like a duck whenever Donald Duck comes on screen. It's hilarious.
Lucas - Lucas has become quite the collector. He's always walking around with his hands full of something (puzzle pieces, pretend cookies, etc) and he gets really mad if anyone tries to take them from him. We have a Melissa and Doug transportation puzzle in the basement that he's obsessed with. He doesn't actually play with it, he just gets all the pieces situated in his hands and then is very protective of them.

Walking!
One of the fun things about having triplets is being able to get excited about big milestones three different times. While these boys have similarities, they're also very different from one another in a lot of ways. This includes developmental milestones.
We knew months ago that Nolan would be our first walker. He just seemed to have a little more coordination than the other two and was the first (by almost a month) to start pulling up and cruising around the furniture. He was cruising at 11 months. Shortly after his birthday, he took his first unassisted steps. A lot of people say their babies took their first steps and then a week later they were running. This was not the case for Nolan. He took his time. I think this was partly due to the fact that both his brothers were still crawling around on the floor so he didn't really see the point in walking. Within a couple weeks of taking his first steps, he went from being about to take 2 or 3 steps to being able to take 9. He could pretty much walk across the room, but again just didn't really choose to. It wasn't until these past couple weeks that he realized he's actually quite good at this whole walking thing. Now he's starting to do it more and more and is realizing he can get around pretty quickly this way! The look on his face as he walks across the room is priceless! He's just so proud of himself. It makes my heart melt every time.
Lucas has been working on the whole walking thing too but hasn't mastered it yet. He's been a little behind Nolan's timeline. He started cruising around the furniture right before his birthday. Then about a month later, he took his first steps. The thing with Lucas is that he just wants to dive into you (or face-first into the floor). So he doesn't typically get very far. At this point, he's taken about 6 steps, but generally he only does 1 or 2 then face-plants. I hate to say it, but it's kind of hilarious. It doesn't seem to bother him much. I'm hoping he'll soon realize how much fun Nolan is having and he'll take off.
Ollie hasn't really expressed much interest in walking. He's great at cruising around. He, like Lucas, started doing this right before his birthday. It wasn't until yesterday, however, that he took his first 2 steps. Hooray for Ollie!
So everyone is making progress. We can definitely say Nolan is a walker. And I think we'll be able to say the same for Lucas soon enough. Ollie is on his way...it may just take him some time.
I've heard from several people that ideally, you'd like your babies to be walking by 15 months and if they're not walking by 18 months, physically therapy may be needed. Our boys around 14 months old (but only 12.5 months adjusted). So we still have a few months to get it all down. I'm not too worried :)
