8 months 9 days

I've only got this one picture today of Randy with Sammy. I guess the day got away from me. I had babies in bed with me in the morning to help them sleep, as really every day. At one point, when I woke up, Randy told me that we're now first in line for the apartment of 3's. He was so excited! So I read the email that announced another email that we received in the afternoon, with the phone number to make an appointment to see the apartment. After several phone calls, it turned out that the person showing the appartment is out of town. Unfortunately we only have the reservation until noon on Thursday, then it will be passed on to the next person on the list. We should get a call tomorrow; hopefully they'll find another person to show it to us. Please pray!
This was the second day the babies had 3 meals. They had their first meal at their regular time today, and 3 hours later we fed them semolina with rasberries and strawberries (and apples). Sammy did not like it at all. I fed Emmy and Tammy. Emmy made a face with every single spoon, until he finally quit, not having eaten much. Tamara loved it and ate some of what her brothers left over. Who does not like strawberries and raspberries? They did like it a while back with their milk cereal.
3 hours later they had their last meal, cereal with milk, pear and prune. I was concerned that Tamara would act like yesterday, because she never fell asleep and was really tired. Thankfully she ate her cereal - and some of her brothers' - and when I put her to bed, she fell asleep real fast. Sammy also fell asleep fast. Emmy was the last one to go to bed and eat, and he was fussing for a while, but we never picked him up, and he finally fell asleep as well. I'm glad he's the one who now sleeps alone in the day bed, as he moves all over the place when he's unhappy and doesn't want to fall asleep. He made his way to the other end of the bed where the toys all were, and simply played for a while, even when he woke up at one point. That works for me!
