So far it’s been a nice quiet weekend with the kids. Adam has been in a good mood. Claire has been in a fair mood. Earlier this week I read that the kids should be eating 1000-1200 calories a day so I’ve been trying to feed them more and I’ve been giving them snacks throughout the day. It can really be a challenge finding something Adam will eat. He is so stubborn about not letting us put food in his mouth unless he is sure he will like it. We have found that giving him a plastic lid and bowl to play with will USUALLY distract him enough that he will let us sneek some food into his mouth. If he likes the first bite then we’re good to go. If he doesn’t … well, let’s just say you would think we just tried to poison him. Claire eats everything in site – including the things she can reach on Adam’s tray that he is ignoring. Claire does still spit up a little bit about once or twice a day so I just bought formula and I’m going to try taking her off milk for a few days to see if makes a difference.
We went to IHOP for breakfast yesterday and the kids did great. They really liked thier blueberry pancakes.
Adam is saying lots of new ‘words’ – he likes to play a game with me where he says something like ‘bop’ or ‘boo’ or ‘pop’ and I say it back to him with ‘to you’ like ‘boo to you’. He just cracks up and could do this for like 15 mins. He also is lifting his leg and testing how many things he can climb. He got up on the rocking horse by himself for the first time today. Yesterday he tried to get into the bath before I was done undressing him.
Claire is not walking much. I think she’s walking less than she was a month ago. She has gotten really good at crawling with her tummy off the ground and at using the walker toys so that’s how she gets around. She has an adorable laugh/squeal and smile and loves to dance. Today I was able to get her to point to her ear several times when I asked her where her ear was. She is getting really good at touching her head and toes along with the song “head shoulders knees and toes”. She also loves animals and gets so excited when she sees a dog or a flock of geese.
The kids are both taking longer to settle down for naps. Sometimes they will laugh and talk to themselves for up to 45 mins before they go to sleep. It’s actually really cute to listen to, but Iguess I will be adjusting their nap schedule soon.
