It's hard to believe that we have survived the last 2.5 years raising triplets.

The boys are officially half way through their terrible twos.

But I truly believe it isn't as bad from what I have heard from others.

Yes, they are challenging at times, but who isn't.

Yes, they want their way, but who doesn't.

The past 6 months, we have learned how to pick my battles with these boys.

At times, John and I choose what is best for them, 

but other times, they get the freedom to choose. 

I think this has cut down a lot of tantrums that could possibly happen at this house.

Toddlers...need to say more?

Their Mr. Potato Head creations...

These three boys may have come in a pack, but

they have developed their own unique personality.

They are getting stronger, taller, talkative and older as each day passes. 

Sometimes it's hard to believe they were even preemies and lived about a month in the NICU.

Aiden-

Your the most talkative. 

You are so stubborn that when your mind is made up, 

it's really hard to get you to agree to what momma and daddy want you to do.

You love your paci's- I think you will be the hardest to break.

You were potty training so well...but then you changed your mind and decided it wasn't for you.

You love to do everything by yourself...

I think your favorite phrases are

"I do myself!" 

"Momma, GunGuns come in peas?"

You love trains and Thomas.

Your such a great brother that when you hear the other two cry, 

you often find momma or daddy and tell them.

You love broccoli, pears, oranges, tacos and cake.

Austin-

Your still Mr. Sweetheart.

Your very content chilling on the couch sitting in momma's lap.

Your favorite toys are drumsticks and hammers.

You have to carry multiple items in your hands at a time.

You still don't eat much meat,

but we found out you love meatballs,

but I'm sure if I fed those to your all the time, 

you would turn your nose up.

You love any type of vegetable and fruit, 

but blueberries and strawberries are your favorite.

Cheese Pizza is your favorite.

You are the most sensitive and 

it's harder for you to calm down after being upset. 

You talk the least, but you will say what you want.

You obtain to a task the longest.

Logan-

Your such a spitfire.

You have all this extra energy in you that has to be released.

You may be 3 lbs smaller then your brothers, but that doesn't mean anything to you.

You are the biggest fighter and instigator. 

You. Love. Your. Daddy!

When you cry and scream it is ear pinching.

You have quite an arm on your.

You love to give gunner treats and often say

"Momma, GunGun treats peas?"

You have to give Gunner a hug before Daddy puts her out in the morning

otherwise the world stops turning.

You will eat basically anything.

You love milk the most!

Currently, all three of you... love ranch.

 If I would just give you ranch for dinner, you all would be happy campers.

You have to find a chair and pull it up to cook with mama.

You all love to "fix" things. 

You follow each other around the house with tools trying to figure out how to fix something that is "broken"

Fixing Popsi's Ladder for him...

The last 2.5 years have taught me how to be patience, when to laugh 

and how to be a free spirited little curious boy.

We are halfway through our terrible twos, 

but I can only imagine what is coming our way in half a year.
