Visit from Jen, Fun in Music, And No More Lunch Bottle












Wednesday was a very fun day because Aunt Jen came to visit. Mommy loves seeing her frequently and watching her belly grow! It was lots of fun to show Jen the village and to play with her!

Today, Clara and Emma slept until 7! Mommy was hoping to see an appearance of a new tooth for Emma, but it is still pushing through and she still has quite a "teething face." Clara does have a new tooth- it is her 7th and it a bottom incisor (afterall, Grandpa Frome is a dentist, so Mommy knows she needs to get this right.

For breakfast, Mommy thought it was time to teach Clara and Emma how to feed themselves with a spoon- since they have mastered finger food. A messy morning it became with yogurt! Clara got it fairly quickly and put her spoon in and made it to her mouth. She also liked to pick up the bowl and turn it over and put her finger in the bowl and play with the yogurt. Emma wasn't too interested in doing it herself and mostly just wanted to chew on the spoon.

While Mommy was out, Cheri gave Clara and Emma lunch. Mommy decided that they weren't really drinking the formula out of the cup, so essentially had dropped it. Therefore, today is Day 1 of no formula for lunch and instead, juice/water.

Clara and Emma love music class. Emma made funny faces throughout the class and shrieked a few times with joy. She loved chewing on the shakers. When the fish came out, Emma made a face and it came over to say hello, the fish knew not to go to close and lightly kissed Emma's toe- she squinted her eyes and schrunched her nose, but didn't cry this time. Mommy and Cheri have no idea what it is about the fish that upsets her.

Clara had no interest in sitting with Mommy, Cheri and Emma at class. She wanted to sit in front of the teacher- the whole time. She loved when Marci played the guitar and especially when she read Brown Bear, Brown Bear.
