Twin Teething, Lots of Dr. Visits, Annie's Last Day

Mommy still wants to know how it is possible for fraternal twins to get teeth at the exact same time. Clara and Emma are both cutting their top front teeth. Clara doesn't seem too bothered, but Emma is having a tough time. On Tuesday night, she woke up several times and while she wanted to go to sleep, couldn't.

Tuesday was a day of unpacking and getting ready for the move to Dobbs Ferry in two weeks. Mommy did take Clara and Emma to Hi Life for Tuesday lunch with Monica- Deborah is in London for 3 months an Michelle moved to LA. The moving company came to give Mommy and Daddy an estimate. It helped Mommy realize how much there is to do! Mommy took the girls down in the late afternoon after dinner to he lobby to play with building friends and to greet Daddy since it was so nice outside!


Yesterday was a very busy day for Emma as she had several dr. appointments while Clara went along for the ride. The morning started at the allergist to test Emma for a milk allergy. It has been assumed that she has one but Mommy wants to know for sure. After the test, Emma had to get blood taken out of her arm. It upset Mommy very much, but Emma was a trooper. Later in the day, Emma went to the pediatrican to make sure she didn't have an ear infection since she kept pulling on her ear. Emma just had lots of wax! She was weighed with clothes and a diaper and came in at 17 lbs. Mommy thinks Clara is about 19 lbs. The good news is that after trying motrin instead of tylenol, Emma slept until 5 and then after a quick diaper change, until 545. Mommy and Daddy think it is a combination of her first diaper rash (which is awful) and teething which is making her wake up.

Today was Annie's last day with Clara and Emma. The girls gave Annie a album filled with photos and a margarita set- so she could enjoy a nice drink after a long day. Annie gave the girls a fun new toy and beautiful dresses. Annie took the girls on a nice walk to the park. Since it is so warm, Clara and Emma are wearing their new dresses that Aunt Christina (and Uncle Adam and Lucas) gave them. They look lovely!
