-Conrad was changing Mila's diaper in their play area and she was crying because she had a bad diaper rash. Nolan noticed how sad she was and took the binky out of his mouth (that he had recently stolen from her) and put it in her mouth and then held her hand to try and make her feel better.
-Nolan and Mila have figured out how to get out of their fenced in play area.They have multiple different strategies they can use depending on how I set it up. I need to figure out a new strategy to keep them in so I can get stuff done while they play.........without coming back to find them playing in Wyatt's water.
-We are currently in the process of transitioning from formula to organic whole milk. Cheaper, but not as much cheaper as you might think. (At the time of actual post they are fully on milk.)
-We will also be transitioning from bottles to just sippy cups. This transition will likely take longer than the switch to regular milk.
-Nolan still wakes up wanting a bottle about 3 or 4 some mornings and we have decided to put a stop to that. Because he is much more stubborn than Mila with his eating habbits, we have justified this by saying he likely is hungry at night. Lately, we have not made him a bottle if he wakes. We just bring up a sippy of water and rock him for a minute if he is really out of sorts and put him back to bed. It takes a little longer, but seems to be working for the most part (except the first night when we were up for 1 hour and 45 minutes).
-I am still trying to figure out my health issues I have struggled with since the babies were born.
-We are trying to decorate and organize our house bit by bit. It is starting to look more like we want it to. This is more important to me now that I spend so much time at home.
-Mila has been using walking as her main mode of transportation for almost a week. She still definitely has the new walker wobble, but is so cute. Nolan can take about 6 steps in a row, but prefers to crawl most of the time. (At the time of post Nolan is walking a lot more and he is doing great.....video to come).
-We found a small plastic climber with a slide on Craigslist for a good deal and the babies love it. It was 45 minutes past bedtime when they first got to play with it, but Nolan was determined to crawl up the slide. He was exhausted but tried over and over to get up it even with slippery shoes and only his sweaty hands as traction. Today I found him standing up on the top platform quite proud of himself. I need to figure out how to get the huge thing in and out of their area by myself so that they can have fun with it during the day and I can also take it out when I need to work on something.
Nolan loves to party...He's ready for mama's bday (pic was from his friend Eliza's party in August)
Kari's chocolate cake for tonight.
The recipe is pretty simple:
Just to give you an idea of how it broke down the items in the pic above totaled $12.69. The babies love the puffs and they are a great diaper bag snack and they were on sale for 3 for $5. The sippies are the ones that we are using with them and we only had one for each of them. I was excited to find them 2 for $5. The spoons are also a favorite and were $2.69.
Nolan loves to give kisses.
Grandma Audrey helped with story time.
