(I haven’t done a general health/habits post in ages, so bear with me if you’re not into this sort of thing.) The girls turned 15 months old last week. I’m starting to feel like a legitimate parent with actual, like….kids. While sharing a park with some morose-looking teenagers a few weeks ago, I had one of [...] I’ve hesitated to post about this because I thought it was just some random thing. But it’s lingering — no, festering– so I need to share so that I might help other clueless, first-time parents. The girls’ first year was full of plenty of tribulation, but overall, it was relatively easy as far I imagined raising [...] It’s no longer one or two tentative steps. She’s walking across rooms now, slowly but surely. (Sorry for the shitty video quality — I caught it with my phone.) Sigh. The last month of infancy. Though they’re not toddling yet, and hence probably can’t be referred to as toddlers, they’re something a little older than babies, right? Some kind of crazy baby limbo. Anyway. Updates. Feeding Still nursing four times a day. They have a big breakfast, while the rest of the sessions get shorter and [...] Much to my surprise, the girls turned 10 months old last week. Double digits.

I love wrapping my arms around their [...] The girls had their (late) nine-month appointment on Friday. Elise is at 17lb 1oz and Althea is at 17lb 2oz. (For the first time ever, Althea outweighed her sister!) Elise was twisting around during her measurements and measured about 26 3/8 inches long (pretty sure that’s wrong), while Althea measured 27 inches long. Both had [...] Hi! We’re now nine months old. 9 months old Eating We nurse usually five times a day — sometimes four, sometimes six or seven. The girls now get two full jars each of baby food a day (so four total — per day), along with about 1/4 cup of cereal each. This means my stash of baby [...] I haven’t washed my hair since Saturday. The babies are playing with cups and spoons. Althea just ate a piece of paper when I wasn’t looking. It’s 8 a.m. and I’ve been up since 4. Things are not looking good for today. Sleep in general has been a nightmare, so to speak. Over the past [...] I’m behind on updates so I figured I’d start with the most expired news and work my way up. The girls turned eight months old (almost two weeks ago…woops) and they’re changing by the day. Milestones Both have been teething for a couple of weeks now, culminating in the appearance of Althea’s first top tooth! Elise’s teeth are [...] Due to recent events, I’m a day late in celebrating the girls’ 7 month-day. For those not really interested in the fact that this blog essentially serves as an electronic baby book, then you can shove it check back soon for something more exciting. Here goes: Eating The girls nurse five to six times a day now. My [...] |
