My Special Boy!

AJ's Speech/Language Evaluation Results were not what I Expected.

I'm feeling really down about it.

Being a mom is hard!

Eat baby Eat!

Since day 1 Eric and I have kept logs of everything we do for the girls. Every feed, every change, every bath, every time we give medicine etc. We thought with our busy lives it would be extremely helpful. This way if I am busy when Eric gets home and a baby starts crying he doesn't have to ask me when they last ate etc. he can just grab the notebook and look it up. SOOO GLAD WE HAVE DONE THIS! Has become second nature....At night I label the following days page and we start the days over at 12am...so each page is midnight to midnight.

This is Ava's first entry today


I post this just to take note of her bottle at 9:00am!

6oz!!! IN ONE SITTING. My baby Ava, who eats like a bird, took a FULL 6oz bottle!

(Alyvia's chart would show the she only took the normal 4oz; Ava out-ate her sister!!)

EAT BABY EAT!!!

Fun Times with the Big Kids!

The other Night The kids and I put our PJ's on at 6. Cleaned all of the toys and got the wooden blocks and "my first barrel of monkeys" out.

Lauryn would connect her monkeys, count them and exclaim "I DID IT"

AJ Built me a Train Track!

We practiced our colors...& Lauryn was FLAWLESS at this game. My clever gal

"AJ find me the green one"

&

nothing was better then seeing AJ hug Lauryn to show his excitement for her!!!

She LOVED it!

Pretty Perfect Evening!!

FOOD!

Today We had Carrots!!

Ava was ready to for her lunch!
Until She got a taste of what she was having!

After 10 minutes, she decided Carrots were in fact yummy.

Lyv, never hesitated to enjoy her lunch!
&
apparently I do NOT feed at the proper speed because she started to help!

My babies aren't such Infants anymore!
Is it weird that I think feeding the girls solids is like the most fun of my day! Also I get excited picking their food out! :o)

Evenings like this make me excited to watch the girls grow!
They will have a bond that I could never imagine.
A bond that I will forever ENVY.
