Solid food

Last week the boys started on rice cereal and bananas, and oh my I was so impressed how do babies know how to eat when they have never done it before?  I'm pretty sure they are genius’s. :-)  So three days of that then we started onto carrots.  Now we are getting into more of what you expect from kids the weird faces etc.  I have one 'Mikie' and one who is a little more particular about what he eats.  So guess who is who.... Ok Keegan is Mikie, and Paddy is our more 'particular' eater.

So we got ok at carrots so I added peas last night.  Now Mikie loved this peas and carrots he ate almost all of both.  I'm sure he would have finished it all if I had let him.  Paddy on the other hand went on a solid food strike.  He was screaming and spitting out peas and carrots.  Yea green and orange all over his face.  So I was sitting there, let me correct myself, standing there with Padraig attached to me 'drinking' and feeding Keegan with my left hand peas and carrots.  I felt like it was a scene out of a movie. 

Chuck has been able to help out with the feedings as well.  Day one of carrots we decided that a bath was in order after the carrots and before the milk portion of the meal.  Mom was very happy about this as I was the one the carrot faces were going to be attaching to! :-)

I will share some photos and even try a video clip of our first food adventure!!

Teething

So this week has been full of teething experiences.  We went to the Urgent Care on Sunday because Paddy was crying and so sad, yes I'm a first time mother.  Also he hadn't wet a diaper in about 12 hours.  He was eating, but who knows why he wasn't letting anything out.  So my friend Sue came by to help watch Keegan while PT and I ran to Urgent Care.  Paddy was perfect the whole time until I got him out of his car seat.  Then he was pissed.  The doctor looked at him said I don't see anything wrong. 

He had me get some Pedialyte and some prune juice, oh yea because he hadn't had a BM since the previous Sunday.  Assuming maybe that was his problem.  So off we went back home.  He basically had to be held all day long to not be upset. 

Keegan on the other had was a super trooper that day.  He was all smiles and really made the whole experience so much easier.  These little guys sure are great! 

So needless to say, both boys are still chewing on their hands and patiently waiting for their teeth to come in.  I thought they had a cold, but I'm pretty sure all these symptoms they are having are all teething related.  So we will be awaiting the breaking of the first tooth for each boy!
