Continuing to Try New Foods

Monday, Jan. 18th, the girls and I played all day and continued with the inhaler treatments every four hours. In the afternoon, we went over to Shayanne's house to have a play date with Shaylee and other new friends. They went down their first slides while I held on to them. They liked it. We mostly just enjoyed the beautiful weather outside. We stayed for about an hour and then we came home. Daddy came home soon after that and then I went to a Mommy's Night Out with my twins group. I had a great time and a great day with the girls!!
Tuesday, Natalie and Meagan got to try sweet peas for the first time today. They LOVED them!! They liked the green beans, but I could definitely tell that they loved the peas!!! I also stopped giving Natalie the inhaler today, just gave it to Meagan.
Wednesday, Natalie is sitting up so much better today. Pretty soon she will be there with Meagan. Meagan still got the inhaler today because she still has a cough. We had another great day playing!! Wednesday night, Opa came to spend the night, but got here after the girls were sleeping, so he got to peek at them. We talked to him a little bit.
Thursday, Opa helped me feed the girls their rice cereal in the morning and their bottles. Meagan, this morning started nodding yes and making a noise with her mouth as she did it, so cute. She also multitasks while she is sitting in her jumperoo. She will be spinning one toy with one hand and then be looking the other way and playing with another toy. She is so funny!! Natalie started nodding her head no with Opa and smiling at him. It was so cute! So Meagan knows how to nod yes and Natalie no. Opa and I took the girls for a walk in their new huge stroller to the duck pond. They liked their new stroller. Opa left to go fishing and then Grandma came over for a little while and took the girls walking to the duck pond also. Daddy came home and Grandma babysat the girls for a little bit while Daddy and I went and ate dinner at On the Border. We had fun!! We came home and Grandma went back to her house. We stopped giving Meagan her inhaler today.
Friday, Meagan and Natalie are really liking to sit by themselves on the floor and playing with toys put by them. Sometime they go after the same one, uh-oh!!! Natalie is really good a sitting now, she is almost there with Meagan, but Meagan still seems to be stronger at sitting by herself and holding herself up! We had a good Friday! They tried carrots for the first time today and seemed to really like those to. We walked back to the duck pond again and this time we were going to feed the ducks with some bread, but they were not interested in eating at that time!! Oh well, next time! Daddy came home in the evening and we all played for a little bit and then got them ready for bed. Once they were in bed, Daddy and I got to watch a movie and then I watched Daddy play a video game for a while.
Saturday, got the girls ready for the day and took care of them in the morning. Aunt Tara drove to our house to visit. She got to feed the girls their carrots today for lunch and helped me feed them their bottles at lunch time. She got the girls some cute Old Navy outfits! Grandma came over for a little bit to say hi also. She was running some errands and came by to play with the girls. Grandma left and Tara stayed inside and watched the girls while Daddy and I raked and bagged some leaves out in the front yard. We came back inside afterwards and all of us played with the girls. Jennifer, Josey and Allison stopped by the house to meet the girls and hang out. They all went to the grocery store and bought things to make hamburgers with. Daddy grilled the burgers for everyone. Natalie and Aunt Tara were playing the no game and of course Meagan is still playing the nod your head yes game. We all ate and talked and then Opa showed up after his fishing trip and ate a burger also. All the girls left to go have their night on the town. Daddy, Opa and I stayed home with the girls and put them to sleep and I cleaned up the dishes. We all just watched some TV and went to bed kind of early. We were tired!!
Sunday, Opa got up early with me and helped me feed the girls. We played with them and then they took a nap for a little while. Meagan ended up sleeping with Daddy for her nap because she wasn't taking one in her crib. Jennifer, Tara and Josey came back over and Jennifer cooked us all breakfast for lunch. It was really good!! Tara fed the girls their carrots. Jennifer and Josey headed home, it was so good to see them!! Tara stayed for a little bit longer and helped me clean the kitchen and got the girls redressed after taking them out of their clothes to eat the carrots (so it wouldn't stain). Tara headed out and I helped Opa and Daddy rake and bag the leaves in the backyard. Once we were finished, Opa headed back home and as he was leaving Grandma came over to visit. Grandma was playing with the girls and Natalie was showing her her new trick of sticking her tongue way out and smiling!! They are such goofballs!!
Other things the girls did this week: Meagan tosses and turns all over her crib trying to get her pacifier or just to play around. We think she likes to sleep on her side and stomach now! She likes to find her pacifier and try to put it back in her mouth. Natalie LOVES to play peek-a-boo. She will put a cloth on top of her face and you have to say 'Where did Natalie go' and then she pulls it off and we say peek-a-boo or there she is. She loves it!!! I think she would do it all day long if she could. She still likes to observe Meagan a bunch too. Meagan talks to Natalie a lot now! Meagan loved getting all the attention this weekend and Natalie not as much. Natalie is a little bit on the shy side. We will see if that stays the same.
Friday, we also got some good news from Aunt Celeste!! Uncle Kelly got offered a job closer to us and he is taking it!!! We are all so excited that they will be moving closer to us now!!! That means Cade, Natalie and Meagan will get to play and see each other so much more now!! We can't wait!!!
