I’d like to tell you about the triplets’ first birthday, but I’ve been so busy this week. I’d like to tell you how cute they were when they dove into their birthday cupcakes Friday after dinner, each with their own unique personalities, but I’ve been too tired at the end of each day to compose a post. I’d like to write an eloquent post about the triplets first birthday party on Sunday, but the babies have been sick all week, which has been keeping me busy. I’d like to tell you about their 12 month appointment with the doctor, but now I’m sick.
So, in the absence of eloquence, I’ll leave you with a few stats and a couple quick pictures, and then… I’m off to bed:
Sam: 21 lbs, 4oz (23rd percentile), 29 inches long (19th percentile) Ellie: 20 lbs, 2 oz (30th percentile), 28 inches long (13th percentile) Abby: 19 lbs (14th percentile), 28 1/2 inches long (24th percentile)
I’ve had people tell me that my babies are really fat; that I’m feeding them too much… but I think it’s clear that they are not. Even Ellie, my chunkiest, beautiful girl is only in the 30th percentile. My babies are perfect. I’ll tell you more about their visit to the doctor when I’m feeling better.
Now for a couple pictures before bed:
Ellie loved her cake!
Abby was snarly and threw her cake around, but she loved it!
Sam got cake EVERYWHERE.

Oh Karen, they are so beautiful! I love that picture of Abby!
Your babies are so NOT chubby. They are perfect!
The cakes are adorable and I have a feeling that Ricky will be just like your little Sam when his day comes.
Love the cake pics!! They are just so beautiful! Not at all chubby, they’re perfect. And the little cakes are absolutely adorable. What a great idea!
Adorable! The babies AND their cake photos. And frankly I can’t imagine that anyone would say they were really fat – what?! But people can be strange. I can’t stop looking at those photos, they’re too cute and they make me laugh!
OMG – I love the “snarly” picture!! That is just too cute! She looks like she’s fighting with the cake!! Hope you feel better soon!
I can’t believe they’re ONE already! Congrats to all of you =)
LOVE the pictures! Love, love, LOVE!
And holy crap my baby must be a piglet if they think yours are too big. Oink.
Doesn’t everyone eat cake like that? I dive in face first and with both hands too!! 🙂
I love babies with cake!
I hope you are feeling better soon!
Ooooooo! So cute (and not too fat – give me a break) and my favorite picture of all is Sam, both hands stuffing it in his mouth.

Karen, they are simply beautiful! Happy birthday to your precious trio!!
LOVE the pictures! They went to town, just as they should have!
Sorry you are sick, and that they were too. As for fat babies…they aren’t even close! They as you said are PERFECT!
I don’t know how the hell someone could think they’re fat. They’re perfect? Seriously, I’ve seen some fat kids and yours are NOT fat. And they’re super cute all snarly;-)
I loved the first birthday series. Wow – the pics are something to look at, aren’t they?
