8 Months Old!

Our girls are 8 months old today!
Brent asked me last night if it feels like it has been 8 months...I said yes. :) But it has been the best 8 months of my life. Our girls are just the sweetest, most precious babies and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but with them. Brent and I have our anniversary/summer vacation trip planned and he asked me if I was going to be able to leave them for a whole week...well, I'll be honest, I'm not sure how I will do with it. We will see if I cry on the way to the airport or beg to come home a few days early.



Addie Sweetheart
Addie is the biggest of our three girls. She is just starting to roll over back to front and she is our most vocal girl. She likes to blow strawberries when she is feeling playful and she is a pretty good eater. I haven't found many things so far that she doesn't like. She is still pretty reserved and low-key and you have to work to get a big smile out of her. She still loves to touch faces and her newest thing is grabbing glasses off of faces or sticking her fingers in everyones' noses, mouths, ears, etc. She is very curious :).
Reagan Baby
Reagan is the second biggest girl at the moment and she is rolling all over the place as well. She likes to hum and squeal really loudly when she is excited. She is getting used to her new helmet and she is sleeping great in it. Reagan is getting very close to sitting up on her own and she loves to play with her sisters. Every time she and Baylee are next to each other they just laugh and laugh.
Baylee Boo

Baylee, Baylee, Baylee Boo....what can I say about our little Miss Priss. She remains to be our most vocal girl and the fussiest. She is the smallest of our three but the most "into everything" already. She is the closest to crawling and sitting up and she SMILES SO BIG all the time. Even when she is fussing and crying sometimes if you make her laugh she can't decide whether to laugh or cry. It's so funny. She likes to sleep on her tummy with her booty in the air which is also very cute.

My first Mother's Day is coming up and I am so excited to celebrate with my family, love on my sweet girls all day and thank God for all of the blessings he has given me in the past year.

Our New Playroom!

YES! We have our living room back!
When you have kids (well, three at one time) the house you once thought was plenty of room starts shrinking more and more everyday. So, we have to make the MOST out of the space we have available at the moment.
Brent and I were discussing the fact that the girls are SO CLOSE to crawling and that I am soon not going to be able to walk out of the living room, where they had all of their toys and play area, for fear that they (Baylee) would be getting into something. So we decided to do some switching around and turn our small dining area into a playroom that we can gate off so no one can escape while Mommy has her back turned.
We love how it turned out (just need to get the hugely, long gate we purchased put up) and we love having our living room back. We no longer have to step over toys or around an exersaucer to watch television or chat on the couch.

Our Trip to Visit the Inmates

No, we aren't teaching the girls about the Texas prison system. We took the girls to Kingwood this weekend to see their Great-Grandparents, my Papaw and Mamaw, Tom and Marguerite Chambers. My Grandparents live in a retirement community called Cypress Woods and my Papaw lovingly refers to himself and all of the other residents at Cypress Woods as "The Inmates." :)
My Papaw follows mine and my sisters' blogs and each time we have a new posting he prints it off and passes it around to all of "the other inmates" at Cypress Woods. They all know about the triplets and love seeing new pictures of them which is very, very sweet.
Brent and I decided we just HAD to take the girls down to see all of their biggest fans. We left early Saturday morning and headed down the road.

30 minutes into the trip...fast asleep!

On the way down, the girls were getting antsy and we were thinking about stopping somewhere to feed them and let them stretch their legs and we saw and exit for a state park in Huntsville. The weather was just perfect. We found a picnic table and fed the girls and then took some pictures since the scene was too perfect.

We stayed with my Aunt Susan and Uncle Bailey for our trip to Kingwood. We were so happy to see them and my cousin Casey! Thank you, Blakemore family, for allowing the triplet whirlwind to take over your home for the weekend. We loved every minute of it and we hope you did too. ;)
This piggy was waiting in their kitchen to welcome us Saturday afternoon. So cute!

Our arrival was announced over the loud speaker when we walked in the front door "The Chambers' Triplets have arrived!" Thank you to everyone that came out to say hello to our girls.

The girls had an exciting day at Cypress Woods so we gave them a little down time when we got home before they took their afternoon nap.
Aunt Susan made us an amazing dinner Saturday night and her friends, Susie and Ray Potter, came over to watch the Kentucky Derby and see the girls. We had a great time meeting them and thank you, Susie and Ray, for the awesome toys you gave the girls. They love them!

On our way home, Brent and I were feeling adventureous and hungry :), and it was about the time we needed to stop to feed the girls and let them stretch a little so we decided to take them to their first restaurant EVER for lunch! Yes, now we feel like we can do anything! We pulled them up to the table with us and they were great! Very well behaved baby girls. We had a great lunch and surprisingly weren't bothered at all by anyone else in the restaurant. We got back on the road and the girls had a great nap the rest of the ride home.

Addie and Reagan..."mmmmm, that looks good Daddy..."

We had a fantastic weekend! Thank you Aunt Susan, Uncle Bailey and Casey for your hospitality. We will definately come back to stay with you again. And thank you to everyone at Cypress Woods for being so sweet to our girls!
