Cyber Kidnapped

My family has been cyber kidnapped.  It's a real thing that has been on the news and all over my Facebook newfeed.  It's when someone steals pictures and uses them as their own.  It feels like a huge invasion of privacy and just really icky that someone is pretending not only that they are me, but my children are their children, named Ella Grace, Avalyn Isabelle and Chayse Xavier.  This person claims her (my) triplets were born on February 7, 2015.  My cousin, who found the fake account on instagram commented on the picture alerting people that it was fake account and then reported the person's account.  This doesn't mean that they haven't set up a new account using the same pictures, we just haven't found it yet.  I'm spending nap time doing some research to find other accounts with my pictures on them, while I should be napping since two of my kids have ear infections and kept me up for a good chunk of the night.

I feel silly saying that I feel like it's an invasion of privacy, since I did put these pictures on the internet for anyone and everyone to see.  That was obviously a mistake.  I read about cyber kidnapping a few weeks ago when a story popped up on Facebook but thought, "that will never happen to me.  I just have a little blog, no one looks at it except family and no one would care enough to steal my pictures."  Wrong.  Someone out there is so bored that they are pretending to be me.  They even posted the picture of me 34 weeks pregnant and PUT THEIR OWN WATERMARK ON MY PICTURE! Who does that?  Their profile picture is our first family picture of the 5 of us in the NICU, with 2 of my children still connected to monitors.  I know this picture came from my blog because I never posted it anywhere else.  Also, the last name of these fake triplets is Renfro, which is a last name in my family, so it's scary that the person did that much research on me that they know that.

If you're reading this now, it's because I know you personally and have invited you to read about my family.  Please do not share my pictures with anyone, and please do not post any pictures of my children on social media, as I don't know who your friends are on social media and can't monitor that.  I'm sorry to be controlling, but this is scary and I don't want any more pictures of my children out there unless I share them.  My facebook friend list will now be limited to people that I know well, no more acquaintances or people I've never met.

I guess it was a blessing in disguise that my blog app stopped letting me post pictures, that way this person doesn't have any pictures of my kids since their first birthday.  Please make your pictures private and be careful who you share them with.  Learn from my mistake!

And again, a huge thank you to Taylor, my cousin who found the impostor.  You're amazing!!!

Super annoying mom post

First off, let me just say that I am not the kind of mom who goes around telling anyone and everyone how smart her kids are.  Mark and I talk privately about our little geniuses and we say it to our moms and stuff, but for the most part, I try to stay humble (aside from joking with my friends).  However, this is my blog about my children and when they're teenagers who are making me pull out my hair, I want to be able to read this and remember how smart and sweet they used to be.  Therefore, here are all of the amazing things that my kids do (some might be normal toddler things, but I think they're really smart)!

I read that at 18 months, kids should be able to recognize and point to 4 body parts.  My kids are a few days shy of 17 months and when asked, they can show you their:

Head

Eyes

Ears

Nose

Mouth

Tongue (they stick it out to show you)

Hair (they rub the top of their heads)

Hands

Belly button

Feet

Toes

That's 11 body parts!

They say "thank you" when you hand them something.  Ok, Tripp kind of grunts but he means "thank you!"

They love to hold hands. Most of the times just an adult's hand, but sometimes they hold each other's hands and my heart explodes.

I can say the word "gentle" and they start to pet the dog/cat/person that is next to them.

Ella is starting to pick up on saying "bless you" when someone sneezes. She doesn't always say it, but when she does I clap and tell her how sweet she is.

They flip through books and make sounds as if they're reading.

When we say "the stars at night... Are big and bright..." They clap their hands!  Then we sing "deep in the heart of Texas!"

They can put puzzle pieces in the right places!  A lot of times we have to turn the piece to help them fit it in, but they know the right spot it goes in!

When Tripp has poop, he pulls on his diaper to let us know.  This morning he took it a step further and climbed onto the sofa and laid down just like I lay them for diaper changes.  He was trying to tell me to change his diaper!

They share (sometimes).  When they are eating I can say, "Will you give Sissy/Bubba a bite?" And most of the time they do it.  When I praise them, they want to share bites with everyone and it's so sweet!

When we watch Little Einsteins, the characters have to "pat" to give their rocket power.  My kids pat their laps with the character and say "pat pat pat pat pat pat." Then, along with the characters, they raise their arms and say "blast off!"

That's all I can think of right now.  I know what you're thinking: those Beyer kids are the smartest kids in the whole wide world!  ...and I totally agree! :)

16(ish) months

I'm going to try to update this more often.  The kids are so active and I find myself exhausted most days, so writing the chaos down usually isn't on my list of priorities, but I need to work on that.  They are getting so big and doing so much that I need to remember it all!  So here it goes...

Emily thinks she is an adult.  She tells her siblings "no" and just wants to sit on the sofa with me and watch TV.  She does not eat breakfast, but drinks lots of milk.  She loves to cuddle and give hugs and kisses.  When she hugs you she says "Ohhhhhhhhhh" as if she knows she is the sweetest little thing ever.  She loves to open the front door when it isn't locked and try to run outside (the only times it's unlocked are when I'm checking the mail or Mark has just pulled into the driveway, so she's safe!).  Emily might have a slight addiction to TV, but also loves to play outside any time she can.  She sits at the top of the slide and says "Two, two, wheeeeeee" as she slides down.  She makes us laugh daily with her hilarious personality!  If you have a book in your hand, she will sit on your lap and not move until you're done reading.  We have one book about God that is very long, but she will sit there and listen to the whole thing while her siblings run around and try to shove shorter books in your face to read.  Emily sings and dances and is so loving toward her brother and sister.  I tell her daily how silly she is and she smiles so big that her eyes close whenever I say it!  She loves to talk and says "Thank you" any time someone hands her something.  Emily can often be found sitting on the floor flipping through a book "reading" it, complete with change of tone and laughter!

Ella, Ella, Ella...  There is a quote by Shakespeare that goes "Though she be but little, she is fierce!"  That sums up Ella!  She glares at you, raises one eyebrow at you, hits you, bites you, whatever she needs to do to get you to do what she wants.  She is so tiny but her siblings know not to mess with her.  When her toy is stolen a tantrum ensues that can only be stopped by giving her back what was stolen and holding her while taking deep breaths to remind her to breathe.  The tantrums aren't just when her toy is stolen, though.  If someone has something that she wants, if I try to put her hair in a ponytail, change her diaper, put her shirt on her, or make her come inside when she isn't ready, she throws herself on the ground and screams.  Luckily it hasn't happened in a public place yet but I'm sure it will at some point!  Recently she accidentally bit Mark because she got excited.  He said "ow" and jumped back.  She lost it!  She ran to me and just cried and cried.  When she finally calmed down she just glared at him from across the room!  It was intense.  When she isn't screaming or fighting, she is a very happy baby.  She loves to be chased around the house, playing ring around the rosie, head shoulders knees and toes, doing puzzles, and cuddling with Mark and me.  We recently took her out to lunch, just Ella, Mark and me, and she seemed lost without her siblings.  She was looking around for them for awhile before she realized it was just the three of us.  Then she got chicken nuggets and french fries and totally forgot about them!  This girl loves food!  Any food.  She will try almost anything and we often refer to her as a bottomless pit because she can just eat and eat and eat.  It's so funny that she's the smallest but eats way more than the other two!  Ella repeats everything!  I am not proud of it, but she said "hot damn" recently while I was singing Bruno Mars.  Whoops!  Not only does she repeat, but she is very good at associating words with objects.  You can point to things and she will name them.  Things like cat, banana, milk, dog,cow, daddy.  She is a very smart little girl!  We just need to work on that attitude of hers!  Some friends of mine told me that she's sassy like me, which was a shock because I don't consider myself sassy at all!

Tripp is such a little man.  He wants to help Mark fix things and is so curious about how things are made.  When handed a new toy, he usually flips it over to see what's on the bottom and starts to poke at different pieces to see what they do.  Although he still doesn't have many words, he is a very smart little boy.  He loves to do puzzles and makes me coffee using their little play kitchen every single day.  He takes the coffee pot, puts it in a coffee mug, adds some milk from the plastic carton, then hands it to me.  I must then drink from it and tell him how yummy it is.  I'm not sure how he figured out the coffee pot since we have a Keurig, but he did and he loves it!  He also loves to cook anything using the play kitchen.  He will take a skillet or a pot and put something in it to cook.  This could be a plastic pickle, a doll shoe, or a puzzle piece, but he cooks it and then take a bite and says "mmmmmm."  He cracks me up!  Tripp is repeating more words and he has more words to use now, along with some signs that we've taught him.  He can say no no, ant, walrus (he got those last two from books), and Laina (my younger sister).  If we ask him for sweet eyes he bats his eyes at us.  It's the cutest thing ever!  He climbs onto the sofa and then looks around and waits for us to notice, because he knows he's not supposed to be up there!  He giggles so loud once you notice and ask him what he's doing.  He knows which sister is Emily and which sister is Ella and can bring them each things when you ask him to ("Bring this cup to Emily").  He does not like having his toys stolen but lets the girls steal them, anyway.  He loves the dogs and just wants to ride Edward.  Unfortunately Edward refuses!

That is what they are doing currently.  Each day is so much more fun than the one before it.  Someone learns something new every single day (sometimes it's me) and they are growing and developing into little people!  I wish I could share pictures, but the app still isn't letting me.  I will look into fixing that soon!

New Year 2015

I did this last year, so I'll do it again this year!  (I'm sorry I can't add pictures. For some reason the app is not loading my pictures!)

Ahhh 2014...

It's been an amazing year!  If I'm being honest, a year ago I didn't know what was going to happen.  Mark and I were not happy!  We were sleep deprived and NOT on the same page regarding anything!  Now here we are, again listening to white noise on a baby monitor, hoping that the fireworks don't wake up our babies, but we're happy.  So happy!  This past year has helped us grow closer together and closer to our children.  Speaking of, the children are amazing!  Just tonight, Tripp said "wow" while watching fireworks his daddy was setting off (a new word for Tripp is always a big deal)!  Ella started to sing her own theme song, the theme song to Ella the Elephant on Disney Junior (She says "Ella Ella" and bounces up and down), and Emily made it very clear to us that she is (still) the strong willed baby who DOES NOT like the booms that come with fireworks or being up past her bedtime!

We had lunch at Chic Fil A and talked about a year ago.  Lunch out with kids was not even a possibility!  They still had bottles every 3 hours, they did not eat solid foods, and they slept a lot!  Now, we accidentally skipped our morning snack, had lunch out, then had an interesting nap.  45 minutes after we put them in their cribs Emily was screaming. We looked at the monitor to find Tripp in Emily's crib.  She was not in the mood for company.  We had to go in to move him back into his crib.  We could not stop laughing!  He just wanted to cuddle...  Poor guy.  We skipped our afternoon snack to go to my Aunt Dee's house, where we learned that they love shrimp balls!  Then off to Nonna's (my mother in law's) house to see fireworks and visit with family.  

This past year has brought us babies sitting up, crawling, walking, talking, and turning ONE year old!!!  It's been so interesting and so much fun!  We've taken our first 2 family road trips and lost a beloved family member, our Granny.  The kids have watched lots of football and learned how to eat with forks!  They've learned so much and are such a joy, I can't even explain it!  I've been so tired I thought I couldn't go on, but I did.  I've thought for sure I couldn't make it through more teething, then molars came in.  I've learned that whenever I get comfortable with our routine, it will change.  I've learned that whenever I've thought, "I can't do this anymore, I'm losing my mind," something usually changes for the better.  I've learned that no matter how many times I say "No no," someone will still do what I've asked them not to do, because it's funny! 

My previous thoughts on Nature vs Nurture have gone out the window.  I know first hand!  I had 3 babies, who have been nurtured the same way, and nature is a much bigger part than I originally thought!  Emily is so stubborn.  She just does whatever she wants and expects you to follow suit. Ella is moody.  She can be so mad, then the happiest kid you've ever met, you just never know!  Tripp is the baby.  He is happy but he whines and expects you to give him what he wants.  He has the big blue eyes to draw you in!  It's no joke, people!  Nature is a very big part of it!

My year has been so amazing.  I've loved (pretty much) every minute of it and I can't wait for 2015!  I know it will be challenging with 3 kids that all have 3 very different personalities, but I'm ready for it!  Mark and I have never been happier and I don't think our kids have been happier, either!

15 months

The babies are 15 months old!  They are growing and learning so much!  They are picking up new words and gestures and getting more adorable every single day :)  When we say "let's go night night," they grab our hands and walk to their cribs in their room.  They love to play outside and watch airplanes fly over our house.  When they see a football game on TV, they all throw their hands up to signal "touchdown," and then clap.  They shake their finger "no" when asked, "What does JJ (Watt) say?"  They give each other hugs and kisses and are so sweet!

Emily

Weighed 25 lb 5 oz on 12/8/14

Says: mama, daddy, sister, bubba, thank you, all done, no no, apple, cat, dog, meow, moo, bye bye, hi, out, tower, sit down, turtle, Christmas tree, Santa, Ho Ho Ho, all done

Emily is strong-willed

She is very vocal. She talks and talks all day long. We usually have no clue what she's saying, but a lot of times it seems very serious.  She tells her siblings what to do and tells me "doe doe" (this is how she says "no no") when I tell her to sit down or stop doing something.

Emily tries to sing when songs are on.  It's very funny!

She is very clumsy.  Sometimes she falls when she's just walking!

She loves to climb. Once she realized that Tripp was climbing, she decided she needed to do it, so she just jumped right in.  She now finds new things to climb on that Tripp hasn't even found yet!

Emily loves to be read to.  She will sit and listen to a whole book, then take it, sit down, and flip through the pages while pointing to pictures and making sounds (she thinks she's reading).

Ella

Weighed 22 lb 3 oz on 12/8/14

Says: mama, daddy, bubba, bye bye, Mimi, Pawpaw, meow, moo, dog, out, turtle, Mickey, hi, shoe, uh-oh, thank you, sissy, Ho Ho Ho, Santa

Ella is such a happy girl!  She has the biggest smile :)

She waddles like a duck when she runs.  It's adorable!  Her legs are so short and she gets so excited when she's running!

Ella has tiny feet.  She still wears a size 3.5 shoe

When Ella sees someone come into the house she says "Hi!" in a high pitched voice

Ella will do anything that Emily does.  She is a copy cat!

Tripp

Weighed 23 lb 15 oz on 12/8/14

Says: mama, ma, no no, night night

Tripp loves to dance!  When music comes on he can't help but move his hips and clap his hands. If he's really into it he will try to snap his fingers.  It's the cutest thing ever!

Tripp likes to cuddle and give me kisses!

He loves books!  He likes to sit on our laps while we read to him.

Tripp is very good about sharing.  He will share his snacks with all of us!

He loves his sisters.  He likes to hold their hands in the car and while we walk to their room to go to sleep.

He loves his toy cars, trains and airplanes.  He pushes them around while making "vroom" noises.

Tripp loves our new fish tank.  

Developmental Pediatrician and ECI referral

A few weeks ago we took the babies to the developmental pediatrician to follow up since they were premature. They all did great!  Emily's speech is at the level of an 18 month old and Ella scored ahead of her actual age on her tests, too.  Tripp did well with all of it except speech. The only consonant sounds he makes are ma wa and ya.  He was referred to Early Childhood Intervention for an evaluation to see if he qualified for speech therapy. 

The ECI team came to our house to do the evaluation. I had my grandma come over to entertain the girls so that I could be with Tripp.  The girls were in the playroom and we were in the living room with the therapists.  It took him a few minutes but he came out of his shell and started to play with the women and their toys.  They did a few little games with him to try to get him to make sounds and it worked!  He mostly said "yayayayaya," but they said that for his corrected age that's fine.  (Technically he's only 12 months old if you adjust his age to account for his prematurity).  They could hear the girls talking in the other room and mentioned that they were very talkative (WHAT?) so that might be an issue for him.  Also, boys tend to be slower talkers.  The occupational therapist said that by watching him she thinks he has the personality of an observer, which might be why he isn't speaking much.  His cognitive reception and attention span scored at the level of a 20 month old, so that was very impressive!  It turns out he does not need any kind of therapy, he just needs some one on one time with Mark or me, away from his loud-mouthed sisters, to play and read and observe.  They kept saying that he's very charming and once he figures out the word "mine," he will say it constantly.  Any time they tried to take a toy from him he resisted more than a normal 12 month old would resist (this is due to his sisters stealing his toys so often).

We should be done with the developmental pediatrician and ECI unless we have any other concerns that come up.  Hopefully we don't have to see them again!

12 months!

We have 12 month old babies!  I'm not sure how this year has gone by so quickly, but I'm hoping time slows down soon.  They are at such a cute age where they play together, they're starting to understand commands, and they talk to us and to each other.

This was AFTER they got their shots. They weren't in the mood for pictures.

This is the last picture of them wearing plain white onesies with stickers on them sitting in front of their chevron blankets. It was a very sad photo shoot for me

Emily

Emily weighs 22 pounds 7 ounces (85th percentile) and is 30.25 inches long (85th percentile).  She can walk and she walks everywhere!  She no longer wants to crawl, only walk!  Emily's favorite word to hear is "pretty."  If she gets fussy, you can tell her how pretty her hair is, or her shoes or her shirt, and she will smile so big!  She is already a little diva and loves her ponytails (they are very tiny) and bows.  She loves her pretty silver shoes and her shirts with Minnie on them.  I tell her at least 50 times a day, "you're the silliest girl I know."  She laughs so hard!  She loves to laugh and be chased. She knows she isn't supposed to go into the kitchen if the gate is down but she does and giggles, waiting for you to chase her.  She tries to play peek a boo but puts her hands over her ears instead of her eyes. It's very funny. I have to say "peek a boo" when she uncovers her ears and she laughs so hard!  Emily has recently started dancing and loves to clap while she dances.  Emily loves to be praised. If you tell her she did a good job, she will smile so big and do whatever she did over and over again to continue being praised.  If her siblings are praised, she will do whatever they just did to also get praised!  If Ella walks to me and I tell her "good job," Emily will walk as fast as she can and collapse into my arms to make sure I know that she can walk, too!  She says "sister" and actually associates the word with Ella.  She will walk up to Ella and pat her head as she says it.  It is adorable!  She is just a happy little girl who makes us laugh constantly!

Waiting for her paradise for playing the xylophone

Got her praise... Big smile!  Then she does it again!

More big Emily smiles!

And more... She smiles a lot!

Reading instructions

Hanging out on the Mickey sofa

Ella

Ella weighs 20 pounds 1 ounce (55th percentile) and is 29.75 inches (72nd percentile).  She is catching up in both height and weight!  Ella is walking slowly. She isn't a professional yet but she's getting there!  Ella is our moody baby.  Sometimes she just wants to cry and whine and sometimes she is the happiest baby you've ever met. I think it depends on how much she's slept, if she woke up on her own or was woken up, and what you're offering her to eat. She no longer wants to be fed.  We took them to a Mexican restaurant and she refused to let my mom feed her beans and rice.  That's right, we had to lay rice on the table for her to feed herself (I cleaned the table with Clorox wipes first).  She finally allowed my mom to feed her once she was offered a delicious burrito on a fork. Ella's favorite game to play is to throw her cup or pieces of food onto the floor during meal time and say "uh-oh."  Luckily she says "uh-oh" before the toss, too, so we can grab the cup as fast as possible before it hits the floor.  Ella is really loving playing with her siblings lately but if they get too close she cries like someone is physically hurting her.  There was one day that she decided she would scream and cry anytime one of her siblings simply touched her arm.  It was a very loud and stressful day at our house!  When she's happy she's so happy and smiles and chases her brother and sister and wants to cuddle. Occasionally she will walk up to me and just put her head on my shoulder and smile at me.  It's adorable!

Ella's first ponytail

One of her sweeter moments. She crawled over and just laid down on me

Ella loves Gwen!

Ella and Edward 

Ella looks very different with a ponytail. I love being able to see her whole face!

Go Texans!

Sleeping on Daddy when she had an ear infection

Ella puts her head down a pillow and waits for me to say "night night Ella."  Then she pops her head up and I say "good morning Ella!"  She does this over and over and over and over again!

She likes to sit on my lap!

Sitting in the new truck

Ella went off-roading

Daddy got the girls a pink car

Tripp

Tripp weighs 21 pounds 5 ounces (50th percentile) and is 30.75 inches long (83rd percentile).  He is tall and very skinny!  Tripp is walking and loving it but he is still figuring it out.  He is starting to get very brave and walk more but he still falls!  He is just all boy.  That's the best way to describe him.  He's sweet and likes to give me kisses and sit on my lap, but he's also rough and... all boy!  He loves when Mark plays rough with him and chases him on the bed and pulls him back to him.  It's so fun to see him squeal when they play!  He still smiles so big with his mouth wide open, never exposing his top 4 teeth!  Tripp loves his boy toys. We have plenty of dolls and girl toys but he has no interest in them.  I don't push him toward any toys in particular but he only wants to play with his car, balls, blocks, a drum or his rubber snake.  He will not hesitate to grab a doll and throw it to the side if one of the girls left it in his car and he finds it later.  Tripp loves books so much!  A lot of times during the day I'm on the floor playing with the girls and look over to find him laying on the floor flipping through pages.  He actually turns the pages to look at all of the pictures.  It's so adorable!

My mom bought him a shirt that says "strikingly handsome."  It's true...

Tripp attacking his friend Jim

Drinking his nighttime bottle with Pawpaw

He likes to sprawl out on pillows and point to things.

Tripp loves the Toodles that Mark made for their birthday party. When we say "Oh Toodles," he goes to the fireplace and stares at it!

More lounging on pillows

He didn't understand why Daddy wouldn't let him in the garbage can

One morning Mark was drinking coffee, so Tripp grabbed a tea cup from the play area and pretended he was drinking coffee with Daddy. It was so cute!

JJ Watt jerseys with Pawpaw

Checking out the line at Target!

Tripp will use whatever he can find to help him climb on the furniture. If one of his sisters happens to be there, he will use them.

Reading a book

Another book (he does this a lot)

Tripp's favorite book is Brown Bear.  When my friend told me that Gymboree had an Eric Carle event with a Brown Bear shirt, I just had to get it for him.  He loves it!

Tripp in a tub

He remembered he still wanted to be in it once he saw Emily get in.

Staring at the fan

He decided he loves the fan!

At the doctor with his first ear infection

Sick at home.  He wanted to just sit in the backyard and watch the rain.

Then he passed out on Nonna.  It was a hard day for him

One of his favorite new things: the Mickey couch!

Tripp loves to push things and Emily hasn't figured out how to push herself on this thing, she needs me to push her.  I showed him how to push Emily :)

Tripp gets on the couch so much I had to teach him how to sit on his bottom and how to get off.  He's very good at it now.

This was the day that the girls both decided that if anyone touched them they would scream bloody murder.  Poor Tripp didn't understand why Emily screamed when he touched her head.  He was confused all day long.

Tripp getting blood drawn at his check up

The rubber snake that he got at the zoo!

Tripp loves Uncle Charles' beard

Eating dinner out.  He loves Mexican food!

Ready for the Texans game

Pawpaw showed him how to lay on the sofa and watch football while drinking his bottle.

He needed to climb on the back of the truck

Group pictures

Tripp does not like when he sees the girls in his car.  He will sit on top of them until they get mad and climb out.

This month our neighbors' air conditioning went out so my friend Rebecca and her twins stayed with us for a few days.  I watched another friend's twins one of those mornings so we had 7 babies eating snacks off of the floor... I had just swept :)

Usually Emily, Ella and Tripp drop their food on the floor and the puppies eat it.  When H and M dropped their food, my babies ate it.  It was weird but they thought it was funny!

Hanging out with friends!

Emily telling Ella that it's her turn to sit in the car.  When I say "telling," I mean pulling Ella's shirt to force her out.

They got pirate and mermaid diapers!

Watching the Texas State game with their Bobcat shirts and diapers

We went for a walk one morning because it was so pretty outside. When we got to the end of our street it started pouring rain.  Luckily a man who lives on the corner let us go onto his porch to wait out the rain before heading home.  He even gave us a towel to dry off the babies!  This was them after we got home and Mark took the canopy off of their wagon.

Ready for the Texans!

All 3 reading

Playing with boxes

We took the babies to their friends Jim and Hudson's first birthday party.  They had lots of fun wearing Thomas hats and eating cake for the first time ever!  We learned that Ella loves sugar!

After their 1 year shots we took them to get frozen yogurt

Then we went to Aldi to get milk
