Events to Date

I'd like to say that my memory is pretty good.  I can say that it is decent with respect to some things...but with exact date/time events??  for those there seems to be limited brain space....
And since I know that, I've taken every opportunity to log away certain milestones on my portable brain: my phone's notepad.

Here's the list I have going thus far:
Events listed chronologically...not by importance:
Megersa's first dry diaper day - 9.29.11**
Shepper's first audible words "baba" - 10.8.11
Cale's 1st smore (firepit) experience - 10.8.11
Thaddeus sitting unaided - 10.9.11
Thaddeus "scooting" himself forward on his belly - 10.9.11
T's first 2 teeth - broke through 10.11.11
Thad tucking his legs under in preparation to crawl - 10.28.11
Shepherd sitting unsupported - 10.28.11
S rolling from back to belly - 11.4.11
Shepherd cut his first tooth - 11.7.11
Thad learned to wave - 11.18.11
Thad learned to clap - 11.19.11
T going from 'all fours' to sitting - 11.20.11
Thad army crawling! - 11.21.11
Thad crawling - 11.24.11
Shepherd's bottle stand off* (for 12 hrs straight) - 11.28.11
Thaddeus pulling to stand - 11.29.11

Megersa's 1st dry diaper night - 12.1.11**
Of course I love all my children equally...the big guys just aren't really in the "accomplishment" phase anymore. ;) 
*note: this was not to be celebrated...it made Mommy very nervous...it just needs to be recorded for future reference.

driving the bus

When I was pregnant with the twins I bought a triple stroller.
It. is. a. beast.
We don't drive it around too much because the twins are still kinda small for it...but when I want to take all the guys out for a walk...I pack them in the bus and we take it out for a spin.

 BACK SEAT:
Cale loves to ride along side of us on his trike:
 
Very excited to see how it works for us when we travel to Florida for vacation...
