I feel like my babies just went through major growth spurts this week!
Mila started rice cereal last weekend and she seems to like it okay. I'm still finding it tricky when to actually serve it. I have to time it just right with her afternoon bottle/nursing session, plus giving her meds on an empty stomach and letting it settle, then the rice cereal. She doesn't eat much yet and it's only for "practice" so I'm not sweating it too much. I admit I was sort of dreading the whole baby food stage but it is not as bad as I thought. It's nice having her "sit" with us at the table now. She is such an easy going girl, full of smiles and sweetness and soft baby rolls. *sigh* Our baby is growing up so fast!
Yummy Yummy toes!
So fresh and so clean. Just look at my kissable cheeks!
This week was also a big break through in sleep. For a while now Mila has been waking once around 3 or 4 am to eat, this week it was more like 4 or 4:30 am, and last night when she woke around 4:15 I took my time getting upstairs and by the time I was at her door she had already settled herself back down and went back to sleep until 6 am. My big girl!!! I am so proud of her. She's also eating/sucking/playing with her toes. It's so funny. Here is a video of her right after bath, with big brother around...
Truett must have grown recently - he can officialy reach his trycicle pedals and he is so good at pedaling! My big boy!!! I'm so proud of him, too. I apologize for the annoying "yay, my kids!" post, but it's just a few things I have to remember about them so the next time Tru is in major meltdown mode or Mi is being a fuss pot, I can read this and smile, lol.
When it's just me and the kid's on a weeknight and I have to do solo beditme, Truett gets to pick - watch something on the Ipad in Mila's room (and no talking), or play next door in the playroom. Sometimes he chooses to relax and watch something:
That's him all cuddled up with sister's blanket. Makes me want to snuggle him right up.
We have been busy, full weekends doing a lot of fun things as a family. Last weekend we went to the zoo on Saturday morning. It was a beautiful morning. We got to visit the new African Rainforest and had lunch with the giraffes. Then daddy and Tru had to ride the carousel a few times before we could leave. Ted has some pretty neat pictures I'll ahve to update later. This month our zoo memebership expires, but we will deifnitely be renewing - the kids love it and we do too.
