Happy Father's Day to my favorite Dads!
Eric is an awesome father. Having Quads, he often has to do more than many dads. I know he would be willing to do it all no matter what, but with 4 babies he has had to share the night duty even while going to work. He changes poopy diapers like a champ and is always willing to be home (by himself) with the babies if there is something I need/want to do. Anything I can do he does just as well. He has been so supportive and makes sure I get a break when I need it. Not every day is super fun when you have 4 babies. He stays calm in all situations and almost always has a smile. I knew he would be a great Dad, but I think he is even better than I expected :) I know we will continue to have a blast raising our four crazy preemies!
We are celebrating with some of Eric's favorite things: Wawa breakfast sandwich, Wooden Spoon for lunch, and Hilltop Fried Chicken for dinner!
Happy Father's Day to Pop, Captain Jack, Pop-Pop, Jim, and all the other Dads in our lives :) And Happy first Father's Day Andy!

8 months old!
Well, I am days late and the pictures are not as good as usual! We have been busy and can't wait for Daddy to be finished school for the summer. How could we possibly be busy?
Mia
We are so happy with how well our little Mia is doing! She has caught back up to Hannah and maybe even passed her with her high calorie food. She is on normal preemie formula now, but still gets the oil for extra calories. Hopefully she will be off of the oil at her next appointment. She is quite the talker and absolutely loves her brother. He makes her smile every time she sees him. Mia is always sticking out her tongue and has started to roll. She has a hard time calming herself at night, so we are working on that. She is an awesome eater, but still needs to work on tongue control. I think she eats as much as Cooper sometimes. The only thing she didn't really love so far was green beans, but she didn't even make a face. We are not quite sure about weights because our next appointment is July, but we think she is probably around 14 pounds now.
Cameron
Coop is quite the crazy guy. I can definitely tell the difference between girls and boys! Cooper will only play with a toy for about 3 seconds before he is off army crawling to the next one. He doesn't care what gets in his way, he will climb right over his sisters. He takes pacifiers, bottles, etc. right from the girls. I think he will be a funny guy just like his dad. He is probably close to 18 pounds now. He downs his bottles and eats lots of food.
Hannah
Hannah is still our little angel and has become a Mama's girl. She is starting to roll, so hopefully will be a pro before long. The twins are still behind due to their size, but they are catching up fast. She lets us know when Cooper is bothering her or trying to take her toys. Maybe she will be our little tattle tale. I think she is about the same size as Mia. She has started to be an early riser, but she just lays in her crib babbling away until we go get her.
Group pictures are becoming harder and harder!

Cameron
Cameron is our best sitter, but hasn't quite figured out army crawling yet. She is content to play with whatever she can roll or pivot to. She is such a happy girl and rarely fusses. When people are over helping, we are often holding all the other babies and Cami is in the pen playing happily by herself. I think she is probably around 16 pounds now. She is not a big eater, but LOVES fruit. Who wouldn't..have you tasted the baby food fruit? Delicious!

They are all nursing colds right now, so things are extra fun in the Hill house. Cooper hates getting his nose cleared, but the girls are pretty good about it. Hopefully they will recover soon.
If you have any formula coupons (Similac and Gerber) send them our way please!

National Doughnut Day!
I LOVE doughnuts, and today is National Doughnut day!! By far, my favorite doughnuts are from Federal Donuts in Philadelphia. They are now at Citizen's Bank Park, but get there early if you plan on having some :)
My second favorite, is Liquid Assets in Ocean City, MD. They have them on the dessert menu and they change every once in a while. I haven't had a variety I didn't like there! And we get to go this summer. Can't wait.
The Fractured Prune is also delicious in Ocean City.
When we go somewhere (went somewhere, haha doesn't happen anymore), we always look for the best doughnut place! We went to the Doughnut Plant in NYC too, but I can't find the pictures.
Yummmm Doughnuts!
8 month post coming soon (a little late....)

It's Party Time!
The Quads had their first party to go to. They went to their BFF's first birthday party! Camryn Morris turned 1 and the party was so fun! Jen, Brett, and Camryn live about 45 or so minutes away. We decided to arrive a little early so we could feed the Quads before the party started. Luckily, Jen's mom and Adrienne were willing to help! Then Jen set out a blanket and the Quads had a spot for the rest of the party. They were really good and some even took a nap amongst the chaos. Jen threw a wonderful party and everyone had a great time.
There were lots of friends and about 20 kids. The kids were all great. There wasn't even much crying! Camryn was a little overwhelmed with all the noise for a while, but she seemed to have a great time with her new toys. She got so many cute new things to play with.

She picked at the cake with her fingers. Definitely a girl!

Happy Memorial Day
We went to Mom-Mom and Pop's house for a Memorial Day get together. The Quads had a chance to hang out with the cousin Nate. We even Skyped with my Jill, Andy, and Ben in Peru! Ben is a little chubster and so adorable! Here are some pictures from the day.
Trying to get some pictures of the cousins. What a mess.....
This one is the best....
