More New Foods, Visit with Grandma and Grandpa Frome and Teeth


Friday was a very busy day for Clara and Emma.Mommy gave Clara and Emma green beans in the morning. Clara seems to have an aversion to green veggies (like her Daddy) and Emma will just about eat anything! In the late morning, Mommy took them for a walk with Carrie and her twins, Matthew and Andrew, in Central Park. It was a lovely day and Mommy even took her coat off. After the walk, Mommy took Clara and Emma to the Friday playdate with Monica and her twins, Matthew and Lauren and Stephanie and her twins, Isabelle and Henry. It was so much fun to see everyone.

Grandma and Grandpa Frome arrived on Friday afternoon and came over to play with Clara and Emma. Grandma and Grandpa loved watching Clara and Emma eat their dinner. They were very hungry and ate all of the food in the bowl.

On Saturday, the girls enjoyed another meal of green beans. While Daddy worked, Mommy took Clara and Emma to storytime at Barnes and Noble with Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Alyssa and her boyfriend, Michael. Grandma and Grandpa bought Clara and Emma some new books to read too and showed everyone how they can eat Gerber puffs! After storytime, everyone headed over to Mustang's for lunch. Clara didn't want to nap, so she sat with Mommy and ate some banana and avocado. After more playtime, Mommy and Daddy headed out to dinner while Grandma and Grandpa babysat!!

Sunday was another full day for Clara and Emma. For breakfast, Mommy and Daddy fed Clar and Emma raspberries for the first time, along with pears, prunes and oatmeal. Also, Clara learned how to sit up herself from the crawling position. She also is saying "da da" frequently. Mommy thinks it is funny that babies say these sounds first and is waiting for "ma ma." In other news, if the girls smile, you can see little white teeth (Clara has one that has started to come up and Emma has two). After their 11 am bottle, Mommy took Clara and Emma on a walk with Grandma and Grandpa and stopped at Taste for lunch. Aunt Alyssa came late, but it was nice to be together. Clara and Emma didn't want to nap, so Mommy put them in the highchairs for the first time at a restaurant. The girls were having teething pain so Mommy gave them a very hard piece of bread to bite on, which they seem to like. After running some errands, the girls came home and played with Grandma and Grandpa and Daddy. After a bath, everyone headed to Fetch for dinner. Mommy gave the girls solids (including white potatoes for the first time) in the highchairs, but they were more interested in looking around and seeing everything going on.
