This week the babies got to meet lots of new people! On Sunday, Matt and Lauren came up:
While the boys have always been flirty with pretty girls, Caroline definitely seemed to take a liking to Matt - flashing her prettiest of smiles at him.
On Monday, they went to a Latke Party, where they were the hits of the living room:

Modeling a beautiful knit dress by Alexa |
|
Hanging out with Andy |
|
Stealing Laura's thumbs |
On Tuesday we headed out to my last Multiples' Support Group meeting before I head back to work. It was great to see all the other babies in the room ... and we also got to weigh our growing weeds. Daniel is still the biggest at 12 lbs 11 oz., Max is still hot on his heels at 12 lbs 5 oz., and Caroline is still petite and lovely at 11 lbs 4 oz.
We rushed home to find Rebecca Corral and her daughter Laura (who hadn't seen the babies since they were in the 5lb range) - but sadly forgot to take any pictures of them. Then another family ... with a baby the Salvateenies' age! ... stopped by and brought dinner. The babies are just starting to notice one another, and it was fun to see them notice the other baby.

Caroline liked playing with Baby Jenna, but she liked checking out the camera even more |
After dinner, Sherrie stopped by to cuddle, while Daniel flirted with Jenna.
Then the most exciting thing happened! A power outage! The babies' first blackout! Sherrie was still here, so there was one baby per adult. We lit some candles and Caroline was enchanted by the flickering. It only lasted about an hour...just long enough to get us worried about keeping the babies warm. I mixed formula by candlelight, got the bottles color coordinated in the dark, and we started feeding Max and Daniel just as the lights came back on. Whew!
Other new experiences this week:
|
Caroline learned the joys of accessorizing |
|
Daniel learned to "dress" for dinner |
|
Max did a heck of a meerkat impression (earlier in the morning he was standing straight up in my arms and looking around like a periscope) |
