8 year well visit at the doctor on Wednesday.

8 year stats:
Linus: 58ish lbs; 52ish” tall
Oliver: 59ish lbs; 52ish” tall
Miles: 60ish lbs; 51ish” tall
I lost the sheet of paper with the exact numbers, so it’s a good thing our next door neighbor is our pediatrician! I’ll get the exact numbers and edit this post sometime.

Compared with 7 years:
Linus: 49.6 lbs (50th); 49″ tall (50-75th)
Oliver: 47.8 lbs (25-50th); 48.7″ tall (50-75th)
Miles: 51.2 lbs (50th); 48.8″ tall (50-75th)

I took Linus and Oliver to get haircuts. Oliver’s doesn’t look that different but Linus’s cut was pretty dramatic. He said, “I just don’t want to look like Justin Beaver.”

Happy Mardi Gras 2016!

As people here are fond of saying…

Everywhere else, it’s just Tuesday!

Just a random sampling of fun pics from the last few days…

And a bonus video of dancing boys:

I’m also calling this my 366in2016 entry for February 7 and 9th, since I include pics from those days.

We went to a parade on Saturday that takes place within walking distance. My friend’s son Liam marched in it, so of course we embarrassed him thoroughly by screaming his name as he walked by.

A Miles funny

I was going through the pictures I took at a parade yesterday and I came across this photo of Miles…

IMG_1047.jpg

Which reminded me a lot of this photo, which was funny because once, when he was tiny (he was a month old here) he wriggled his hand out of his swaddle and started screaming at this foreign object in his face. (Well, I know that’s not really why he was screaming but it sure seemed that way.)

Anyway, I’m just glad he’s not scared of that hand anymore.

I volunteered in Linus’s class for the school Mardi Gras parade yesterday. The theme for his class was French artists, and the cute was overwhelming. They all had artist’s smocks, floppy ties, mustaches, and berets, naturellement.

monthly pics of triplets by pyjammy.com

98 months!

Getting close to the magic 100, and I’m trying to think of some way to make it special, in spite of the fact that it’s going to be a Monday morning. Hmm.

It was also pretty cold out, but Miles refused to wear a jacket, so his goofy face is probably the only thing keeping him warm.

Brace yourself for some EXCITING photos…

This is me trying to get a photo of the back of my head. Because when in NYC, we dyed the underneath blue. Because why not?

A couple more days in New York!

IMG_8584.jpg

Saturday was spent working until dinnertime, when we headed to a Brazilian place for appetizers and then this amazing pizza place for the rest.

Sunday started with brunch at a meatball restaurant (why not?) followed by a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and a visit to the 9/11 memorial.

Monday was the last day of the meetup, sad.

(Lots more NYC pics to come in a separate post.)

In New York for a meetup!

My amazing teammates from Happiness Hiring. We went to a meetup with support people in the area, and had some great conversations and beer.

We went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art after working today, and when I saw this sign, I got a bit antsy. I really want it to be WordPlay.

I’m hoping no one notices I skipped over January 24. I’m going to try to go easy on myself and not declare this 366 project a total failure because I missed a day in the first month. No, if I fail it’s going to be because I only take crappy pictures with my iPhone.

January 25 – Oh, doesn’t Ziggy look sooooo innocent here? I had started walking on my treadmill and he was trying to lick my ankles while I walked.

January 26 – Got George his own reading glasses. We’re getting old, yo!

January 27 – bribed the boys with cookies so they’d let me look for new shoes at the mall. (No luck.)
