Oatmeal, Pears, Avocados, Oh My!

It has been a very busy February so far!

First, a solid food update. As many of you know, Mommy really didn't understand this solid food thing and didn't know how it was going to fit in or where to start. Thanks to lots of mommy friends and books, Clara and Emma have made it through one week on solids and tried oatmeal, pears and avocados.

After three days of oatmeal, Clara and Emma enjoyed pears. Mommy served them Earth's Best for the first feeding and then decided that it was time to try and make it and has done so since. The girls continue to get two solid feedings a day- one in the morning and one at 5 pm. Mommy continues to play with the timing of the morning feeding. For the first oatmeal feedings, it had been at 1030, but that wasnt a good time. Mommy then tried 8, but sometimes the girls are cranky. Now, we are eating solids after the morning bottle. Here are some pictures from the past few days.

On Thursday, Mommy and Annie took Clara and Emma to visit Charlie and Ella and their Mommy, Lisa. Clara was a bit cranky, but Emma enjoyed playing with their puppy and kissed her, jumping in their jumperoo and watching Charlie move back and forth on his knees.

On Friday, Mommy took Clara and Emma to visit with Henry and Isabel and their Mommy, Stephanie. New friends, Henry and George and their Mommy, Elisabeth came too. Monica came also, but without Matthew and Lauren because they were sick. Feel better soon. Clara wasn't herself and spent time in the swing or being held by Mommy. Emma showed off her new skill of pushing up to her knees and rolling everywhere!

On Saturday, Grandma and Grandpa Gornstein came to help Mommy while Daddy started his "busy season" with working on Saturdays. Before Daddy left, he helped Mommy give Clara and Emma avocado for the first time.

On Sunday, the Gornstein Gang headed to visit the Bermans in NJ. It was super fun! Emma tried Ryan's highchair and enjoyed sitting it while everyone ate lunch. She ate her taggie.

Today, Mommy and Annie took the girls to the doctor for their RSV shot. Emma (left) weighed in at 14 lbs, 13 oz and Clara weighed in at 15 lbs, 12 oz. They are thriving! In the afternoon, the girls played together and practiced sitting on their own. Late in the day, Clara pushed up to her knees.
