Every parent looks forward to their child(ren) reaching life milestones, from holding their head up, to walking, potty training and talking. For Wendy and Tony, a restful evening would be the first sign of the princes ultimate development--and while we're not there yet--(oh, how we wish we could sleep two hours straight...), we hope we're not too far. In the past week, the boys have gotten more comfortable sleeping on their bellies. With SIDS concerns, etc., we keep a close eye on our little guys, but have found they sleep better when resting on their tummies. Case in point, the below photos. During naptimes, Wendy often finds the twins on their bellies resting comfortably. It's great that they can do this, but during the evening, if they awake on their tummies, forget about it. It's screaming for hours at a time and it takes forever to get them back to sleep. UGH! We hope this will remedy itself soon....
Prince Aramis has also found a new 'tool' in his tool chest--his new two front teeth! Yes, our youngest baby has broken through two front teeth(bottom) which he uses to chomp on pretzel rods several times a day. We can't wait until he'll smile for the camera and show off those pearly whites! Woohooo!!
And, despite the facial expression shown below, Abby has finally found a way to enjoy milk. Abby was born with a milk/diary allergy, however at 1 1/2 years, we tried yogurt and found her able to digest/manage it well. So, we tried ice cream, cottage cheese, American cheese, etc., and her taste really wasn't for any of those foods. Eventually over the last six months, her food preferences have changed dramatically and she now eats all of the above. We have struggled to get her to drink milk (or soy) and tried everything from chocolate, to strawberry to Ovaltine (malt), to milk shakes. Nothing seemed to work. Yet today, she asked for and received some chocolate milk, which she drank from her cup without fuss. This is a major breakthrough since now, maybe we can put some weight on our little princess who at 2 1/2 years, is only 25 pounds! Petite and perfect, but Mom and Dad really want her to have some chub so that as she begins running around during summer, she has some calories to burn. :) See that milk in the far right side of the photo? That's it--chocolate flavored cow juice!
