Los Tripones First Vacations and More........

July 21-30: This was a sad and happy week. Aunt Francis and cousin Victoria went back to Chicago but not before taking the Tripones to Geneva, Switzerland, the city where they were born. We had a wonderful time taking the Tripones around their own city for the first time. Vero and Vivi enjoyed looking around while Leo slept. By the end of this week they also started to have rice cereal into their milk and also to eat it at lunch. Mommy prepares a meal mixing rice cereal with juice. They really love it!!!!

July 14-20: After a week with the Tripones aunt Francis and cousin Victoria got to know the true identity of each Tripon. They realized that Vero is the one with a strong character and Caprichosa. It just got to be her way and nothing more. Leo is a jealous boy, he doesn't like Mom to hold anybody but him. Him and Vero have a battle going on. They are both constantly fighting for who gets Mommy to pick up first. Instead Vivi is the angel of the house. She is always observing her siblings' drama. Vero is our "Little Queen", Leo our "Jealous Boy" and Vivi our "Little Angel" (our Angelina). This week they had their last vaccines for this year and we got to know their weight: Vero's is 5.590 kg; Vivi's 6.300 kg and Leo's 5.850 kg. Yes, our little angel have passed Leo that is why we also call her "Baby Urlie" for Brian Urlacher (defense of the Chicago Bears football team). By the end of the week we drove to the Mountains and stayed for the weekend at Teresa's and Pasquale's house in Aosta, Italy. We all had a beautiful time there. It was nice to breath clean and fresh air and los Tripones behaved very well!!!

July 7-13: This week aunt Francis and Victoria came to visit us from Chicago. They brought with them lots of things and energy to keep up with the Tripones. We all went to Annecy, France to see the town and have dinner, but before that we had to find a place to feed the Tripones and the only place available was a bus stop. It was crazy but funny because everybody kept looking at us feeding 3 babies, not to mention the looks while we were walking around the little town with our space ship. We definetly are a celebrity everywhere we take the Tripones. By the end of the week we also headed to Milan, Italy. We received lots of visitors at Grandma's home. Everybody wanted to see the Tripones. We were a success!!! Daddy's friends and relatives got to play and feed them.

July 1st-6: This week los Tripones had an appointment for the check up of their hips. This is a procedure that must be done when there is more than one baby in a small space like Mom's belly. It seems that because of the limited space in the belly there might be complications in the hips of the babies. Fortunately the Tripones' hips are good.
