Gotta love this one
Sophia found Thumbkin
People often ask "how many diapers do you go through?" Well, we did some rough math and since we've had all 4 babies home (11/9/2007) we have:
changed 2254 diapers
made 1712 bottles
drank 515 cups of coffee
Cohen is so happy with his new comb-over
These numbers might look pretty impressive, but what is most amazing is that we have spent $0 doing all of this!!!! We have been so blessed with gifts and formula provided by Similac and Enfamil!

It is cool to see how the babies develop so quickly. Cohen, Finn & Sophia are all rolling over onto their tummies. We can only assume that they are practicing these gymnastic feats during their naptimes, since they aren't always sleeping. Cohen has really started to find his voice and is sounding out all kinds of things; sometimes he will do this for a full hour during playtime. It is also fun now that they are really more interactive, smiling and cooing, and reaching for things. I'm sure I'll come home from work and Mari will have the "Mom cut":(
Finn-tastic!
Noah is really picking up the pace. He wowed Dr. Quiros and staff at his last MD visit with his double chin. His coloring has faded from the lovely "Simpsons yellow" to a more normal hue. He has finally reached double digits, now weighing 10lbs 2 oz!
Noah looks good with cheeks
I've seen a few of my friends in this same position
We are so excited to have Mari's parents back in town next weekend and they'll be staying for a little over a week. We are even more excited because Mari and I will take our first out of town trip without the babies while Grandma and Papa take over.

Daaa!

Beautiful babies guys. Glad to see they are growing big and healthy.
Mari and Chris,
Yeah!! Updates and pictures! They continue to be amazing miracles, gifts from God. Can not wait to see them up close and personal. Noah is adorable, but I must confess to falling in love with the picture of Sophia and her oatmeal on the last post.
"The Lord your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy." Zephaniah 3:17
The video gives me smiles.
In Christ's love,
Alaine
I'm truly amazed at the two of you. Y'all consistently make ME laugh and brighten MY day with your updates. Whenever I am feeling overwhelmed by my circumstances, I can always check in on the Goerlichs and put it all in perspective. Thank you for reminding me daily how lucky I am to have such beauty in my life. Thank you for being such a positive example for all of us. I'm so very proud of you.

I am so glad to see a new video. They are so big! and so cute!!!
You guys crack Todd and I up!
Noah looks fabulous!
The feedings look like a lot of fun. Is anything really staying in their mouths or just gurgling back out. Their "not so sure bout this" faces are really funny!
Take care and much love,
Heather

Hey! I found your blog through Suz's blog...I am a fellow quad mom 28 weeks pregnant with 2 girls and 2 boys in Birmingham, AL. I would love to email you and find out more about how to contact Similac and Enfamil for discounts etc. I'm sure you can give me much needed advice since mine are probably so close to arriving. Your babies are precious. If you get a chance to email, I'd love to hear from you...my email is lholderfield@hotmail.com
Hope to hear from you soon.

Mari - I don't know how you feel about publicizing your children, but that Noah can rock on the piano! Talk about skills! Extrodinary. I would get Oprah on Line 1 ASAP or at least America's Got Talent if they haven't cancelled the show indefinitely.
Can't wait to find out how you got the high chairs...
Y'all look like PROS!
Mari & Chris -
The babies are looking fabulous! I can't believe how big they are! So beautiful & precious! I love the feeding video - you guys are pros and should write a book, (later when you have more time).
Mari - it was so good to talk to you the other day. Have fun on your weekend away...you are so brave!! :)
Love you,
Sara
The babies look great. Way to cute for words! You must be so blessed.
Glad to see that you found out the first rule to surviving many babies....must laugh, often! My dream is to play the piano as well as Noah. Let me know when the lessons start! Sophia looks like she knows how to charm her Daddy already!
Congratulations. Looking forward to watching them grow.
Suzanne Mom of twins
