Here we are, one more month until I have toddlers.<\/p>\n
I couldn’t be more proud of these two little girls this month… We’ve hit so many incredible milestones, they’re\u00a0making so much progress with physical therapy and speech, they’re\u00a0gaining weight, I’m still breastfeeding, they really are playing and talking to each other now, they LOVE their mommy and daddy, they are healthy and they are h.a.p.p.y.<\/p>\n
We had to make some adjustments this month, which was so tough, because my supply just wasn’t keeping up with these movin chicas. Here’s our eating schedule for now:<\/p>\n
7am – nurse
\n8am – breakfast
\n11:30 – Neosure bottles
\n12:30 – lunch
\n4:00 – Neosure bottles
\n6:00 – dinner
\n7:30 – nurse<\/p>\n
As far as solids, they are tanks. \u00a0They love to eat… their favs lately are green beans, multigrain cheerios, mac n’ cheese, mandarins, blueberries, and pancakes with applesauce or peanut butter. \u00a0They pretty much are eating whatever Zach and I are eating and Lila has an absolute cow if she doesn’t get to try what’s going in our mouths. \u00a0They’ve mastered drinking out of sippy cups and get awfully excited over water! We’re still on Neosure bottles twice a day, and hallelujah, they’re finally starting to put on some chunk!<\/p>\n
Nothing new here… they are still taking 2 2-hour naps and sleeping about 11 hours through the night. \u00a0I totally chalk up their good sleeping habits to the fact that I’m crazy about our schedule and we do not miss naps. \u00a0This good schedule has actually allowed us to every once in awhile be flexible and take a nap in the car on the way to the zoo etc. and still not mess us up for days. \u00a0With our good routine, I can set them down in their cribs, they fuss for all of 2 minutes before falling asleep and getting a good solid nap\/night’s sleep. It also allows me to be able to snuggle them or spend some 1:1 time with them at night because I have taught them how to sleep independently.<\/p>\n
Good sleep = good awake time = happy, healthy, and growing babies.<\/p>\n
Oh, my sweet, little Ducky.<\/p>\n
You are so strong<\/strong>. Don’t you ever let anyone tell you what you can and can’t acheive… I’m so hopeful you won’t need the braces everyone prepared us for. If you do, that’s okay and they will help you to reach new limits… but you have shown the world that you won’t give up without a fight. \u00a0You are such a fighter<\/em>. \u00a0Youre innocence and precious grin melts anyone and everyone who you show it to. \u00a0We are constantly being stopped so people can get a glimpse of your sweet self. \u00a0God has so many plans for you, my sweet babe. \u00a0Keep singing your little heart out, you will change this world.<\/em>\u00a0I love you, my little Ducky.<\/p>\n My little jelly jumping bean. \u00a0Oh goodness, where to begin.<\/p>\n My sweet, sweet<\/em> babe. \u00a0You are, and always have been, so gentle. You have your own timeline and from the very beginning, you have taught me so much. \u00a0I said it last month… I couldn’t wait to see where you were and my goodness, I am so proud. You have gotten to be so goofy and I will do literally anything to make you laugh. \u00a0I adore your snuggles and break my own rules to get some extra lovin from you. \u00a0 You are your aunty through and through and have started to really show how persistent you can be when you want something. \u00a0Seek the Lord with that persistence, sweet pea… “For I know the plans I have for you…” I love you,\u00a0Lila Bean.<\/p>\n xoxo,<\/p>\n Mommy<\/p>\n 11 month photo dump:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …11 m o n t h s… Here we are, one more month until I have toddlers.
