Kelly's mom was here for a few days, giving us a much-needed hand with the kids. They are so lucky to have the grandmas they do!
We had done some preparations in case we lost power, in order to keep the kids warm and fed. Kelly really liked this part of the storm day, and we ended up with a big plastic tub of emergency supplies raided from our pantry and garage. Luckily we didn't have to dig into the canned goods. Split pea soup? No thanks.
In the midst of storm preparations, we endured another storm. Of diapers. Kelly's work friends so graciously supplied us with enough diapers for awhile, and we thank them for their generosity!
The kids are changing right before our eyes. Olivia has a shock of black hair now, and really filling out. August is trying to catch up with his little (big?) bro Max and his head is every bit as big as Max's. And Max is just a robust baby boy.
Our feeding times have decreased significantly with our posting a limit on feeding times of a 1/2 hour and of the discovery of fast-flow nipples for the little ones. Olivia has had some issues for quite a while with keeping awake through an entire feeding. Her suck isn't quite as strong as the boys, and it would take her so long to feed that she would just fall asleep...and then wake up earlier since she couldn't get enough to satisfy her. Not anymore. Now, Ms. O is our best sleeper.
Max has taken to eating his formula in record speed - without aid of a fast nipple. August is catching up with Max, but with a fast nipple.
We are looking forward to our first family Christmas and to the kids growing and keeping healthy.

Glad you are all surviving the weather -- it's been a tough December, for sure.
The trio look great -- they are changing so fast! Love the spa robes and the Team Norris onesies -- a very fashionable group!
It's clear you have some great friends and some great family support, too. Grandmas are great!
Love to you all -- keep warm!
