good morning! how is everyone doing this fine Monday? how was everyone's weekend?
miki - congrats on keys!! sounds like everything went really quickly for you, that's awesome! Did you find some new tenants over the weekend?
ttc - I totally skipped over the talking - 18 mos talking at a 2 yr level? Yep, little Miss Chatty Cathy on your hands!! Or Babbling Bellamy!
wicky - that's awesome the procedure went well! Can't wait to hear all about it and what M has been able to finally do!!
ask - hope you're doing so well with little Bea!
spud - anything new on the UK/NZ moves?
afm - it's chilly here today but that's ok. i'm enjoying wearing my hoodies, sweats and socks! Football season is upon us and I'm in 3 FF leagues this year! Terri if you're watching...
The boys are awesome. DH actually had them by himself Sat day and overnight while I went on a girls trip with a few friends up north for the night. Was so fun. I wish I could say that I slept like a dream without having to get up for the kids but it seems like that will be a habit that will need to be broken. Plus I was on a pull-out couch and knew I had an alarm to get up to so I couldn't fully relax. Oh well. Got a mani, we went in the hotel's hot tub and pool and had the place basically to ourselves. Drinks at one of the fanciest hotels in New England (a different one from where we were at), dinner at a gorgeous BnB, and generally just hung out and laughed a lot! It was so refreshing and needed!
The boys are just about crawling!! T does planks and gets on his knees and starts to rock back and forth, but then the knees slide out and he's on his belly again. M can get on his knees but travels backwards still. Less babbling lately.
I'm feeling like we should be graduating to more things for them to eat and try out but I'm kinda stuck at which direction to go in. Thoughts are welcome!!
Here's what we've done:
cereal
mashed banana in the cereal (I've been trying not to mash up as much so there are chunks they can work through)
pureed fruits and veggies that I've made
pureed fruits/veggies/oats that come in the squeeze packets - so VERY smooth, no chunks
pureed veggies with chicken that they didn't like the flavor of
teething wafers
I was thinking of maybe making pasta tonight and overcooking some of it for them.
