eleanor > aka. gummers, chubbers, growls, growly bear

eleanor.
she had the penthouse in the womb and was the last one out. she is unmistakable the zen force that keeps the ying and yang of seb and bird in tact; in a mental and physical sense. she was the first to climb the play ladder in the living room and the first to realize the gravity wins when she pushes one of the boys and knocks them off-kilter. she is our socialite. her first word was "hi" and she will ham it up for any camera lens in any situation. she is our growly bear and model for all hats in the house. elle rules the roost with a subtle hand.

dylan > aka. birdman, tiny hiney, birdie, the one who likes to view semi-digested food

dylan.
second one out. he was our little bombardier who opened his eyes first and then kept them shut for a week. he of the "tiny hinny." the first one to walk and as of late, the first one to take a very keen and disturbing interest in realizing that inserting a finger into his mouth and touching the back of his throat will bring up tasty treats eaten only hours ago (not to worry. we checked with our doc and it is only a "common behavior" that we must tell him is "gross" and then try to ignore. one eye brown. the other blue. he is the birdman.

tough love

okay. we have had quite a bit of fluff on the site so far. thought I would share some harsh realities. we have been good little P's up until tonight. rocking the babies to sleep every night. singing lullabys and making sure those adorable little lashes click shut for the night sleep. we finally found out through our doc that we can stop getting up 314 times throughout the night and feeding the boys their few bottles, as well as rocking everyone back to sleep whenever they wake up fussing. this practice had allowed us five-hour interrupted sleep nights and mornings that require French press thick coffee and plenty of cold water on the face. tonight is the first night (forgive me...but this might actually start resembling the true characteristics of a rambling blog (!) and it is, well...pure hell. all of the herd are amped and giving us their best operatic capabilities. dylan screeched hard first and gave up. seb and elle are in it for the gold. the plaster on the ceiling is falling off in chunks as I type and we might have to work on a new set of vocal chords for the two of them this weekend. for all of the sick and twisted...I shall post an MP3 of the communal wailing this weekend. until then > here are a few tranquil shots. liz and i shall now wait with heads bowed by the front door for Child Services to cart us away...

sebastian > aka. mo, sebmo, monkey, bubble toes

seb.

first one out should be featured first, right? sebastian, our fearless leader. the first one out into the world of all three. seb has morphed into our "sensitive seb." he was the first to give hugs and a sloppy kiss; yet, also the first to take a toy, hold it up and ponder what it might sound like upside the head of his fellow siblings. his our voracious eater. canalope (almost any fruit really), dill havarti cheese, falafel, ham, cracker...you name it and he puts it down. he has started a screeching trend among him and dylan and they are adamant to break our lead windows with high-decibel shreaks! he is a dancer, a mover, the one to yelp "DAT!" as he points to all around him in curiosity. he also has a darn good vibrato for a fourteen month old.

he is, quite simply > the MO MO MONKEY....

splish splash
