Just some random updates from the world in which we live…

• Erin at mealtimes.  
• She ate fantastically all day yesterday, but not so well this morning.
• She loved the eggs and toast I gave them for breakfast yesterday (Alex didn’t like the eggs).  This morning she did not like the Gerber oatmeal with fruit already mixed in, though she did eat the applesauce I gave them separately.  So apparently she just knows what she likes and what she doesn’t.
• Also, started using the full 5-point harness on the high chair instead of just the lap belt.  That kept her from flailing, rolling the chair, and leaning off to the side instead of eating. 
• And thanks for all the ideas and words of encouragement.  I’ve decided not to worry about what she eats (or doesn’t). She nurses just fine and eats most of the time.  And judging by her chubby legs, she’s all right!

• Alex has the very tip of his first tooth through now.  Yippee!

• We’re sleeping like champs this week.  Alex is back around 5 am for his first feeding, and both babies are sleeping in until 7:30 (they had been up at 6:30 or 6:45).  And no one has been awake in the middle of the night for a couple of days…which means that Mommy is sleeping great, too! 

• Alex is starting to really reach for toys that aren’t near him.  So he will probably be moving up to creeping very soon.  Erin is already quite mobile (creeping and rolling), but I’m seeing signs of crawling in her future. 

• Eric has been very productive this week (on vacation, of course ).  He’s been working on little chores and painting the outside of the house (trim and such).  I think he’s enjoying his freedom.  And the regular trips to home improvement stores don’t hurt!

And that’s all I’ve got for this morning.  Okay, really, I just need to go shower before the babies wake up from their naps.  But that’s all the important stuff anyway!  Happy Thursday!
