We have had a busy couple of weeks! The babies had their first trip to Aunt Glo and Uncle Dan's house on Memorial Day and then visited Gradmother's house for the first time on Friday. Thankfully, all three of the babies do great in the car and typically fall asleep as soon as the car starts moving--which makes these trips much easier. The hardest part of taking a day trip is all the "packing" that is required to take 3 babies away from home for an afternoon. By the time I am loaded up with the babies and their gear, I am exhausted (although I have to admit, I rarely leave home bymyself, so I typically have some help with the loading part). Saturday, we had our first trip to Dave and Tara's with the babies and Sunday was church in AM and PM (another first for the entire family to be at both services in one day!)
Today, our TEIS teacher, Christy, came out to work with the kids. She informed me that she has taken another job in a school and will no longer be following our family :(. We will definitely miss her! After their "play session", we had our 6 month check up. Thankfully, this check up went great with only good news! Kate is in the 10th%ile weighing 13lbs 10oz, Braden is in the 5th%ile weighing 14lbs 9oz, and Brooks is still under the 5th%ile weighing 12lbs 9.5oz but is making "great progress" with his "catch up growth" according to MD. We have been so blessed over the past year and I am so proud of how well my little ones are doing.
We have slowly begun introducing baby food (only rice cereal and sweet potatoes so far) which is going pretty well. I am thinking I will try to make my own baby food (more for economical reasons than organic), but we will see. I attempted my first batch of homemade sweet potatoes today--hopefully they will like them as well as they like the Gerber baby food!
