Are they triplets?

I get this question ALL the time.  The twins are 14 months older than the baby.  I guess as they get older, it will appear as if they are triplets more and more, especially because Joseph is such a big boy!  Sometimes I want to just answer “Yes!  They are!” because it might be easier than telling them that they are fourteen months apart.  I usually get something like “You have your hands full” or “Oh my God three of them so close!”.  I probably would get more questions if I said that they were triplets, so either way, I have to be ready for an answer.

Just this month, my baby (who was a year old on the 18th… time is flashing by!) started standing, pulling himself up in his crib and creeping.  I figure in no time he will be walking, and then I don’t know HOW I am going to keep my sanity!  As it is now, the twins are always running in different directions and I have a hard enough time splitting myself to run after each of them!  Now three?

Good thing is my baby formula days are over now, although to be honest, I think it was much easier when Joseph was on formula.  He really doesn’t like milk (guess he needs to get used to it) and he eats like the boys!  My grocery shopping bill is going to skyrocket soon!  At least with the formula I always bought Parent’s Choice, so I saved a lot of money.  Now?  My TRIPLETS are going to eat us out of house and home!  OH BOY!

Soon enough, JoeJoe will be as tall as the boys and they really will look like triplets!  Look, he's standing!
