Today, Clara and Emma woke up around 6:45-calmly again. Mommy couldn't believe it! After their bottle, they enjoyed a finger food breakfast of mini waffles and bananas and some cheerios , of course, Clara and Emma played and pushed the ball back and forth. Clara also stood up for about 5 seconds without holding onto something before falling!
The girls took a nice long morning nap- from 8:45-1030! After lunch of yogurt and avocado, which ended up everywhere, Mommy loaded everyone into the car. The first visit to the new pediatrician went well. The girls were quite tired for their 1 pm appointment- see the picture. It was not so easy for Mommy to be at the doctor herself and therefore, Mommy decided to hold off on a blood draw and shot for another time. At almost 9 months and 3 weeks, Emma weighed in at 17 lbs 1 oz and Clara at 18 lbs 7 oz. They are both still on the small side, with weight and height, but from where they came from, doing very well. The doctor was very pleased with their skills! Afterwards, the girls fell asleep on the way home. Mommy fed them and then took them for a walk in the neighborhood.
Daddy got home from his business trip at 4 and with Mommy, took the girls to Stew Leonard's to buy groceries. What a place! The girls were a huge hit and helped pick out stuff for Saturday's BBQ. They were facinated with the singing puppets throughout the store! Mommy had been there before, but forgot about all of the great stuff that is available. While Daddy paid, Mommy took the girls to see the small farm. The girls saw a baby cow, sheep and goats. Mommy fed them dinner right when they got home since it was a bit later than they usually eat and they were tired. Clara cried when Mommy gave her some spinach pancake, but enjoyed trying to pick it up herself and looked like she bathed in green afterwards!
