Hank and Clara celebrated their very first Fourth of July yesterday. Unfortunately, they missed out on the fireworks, as they were asleep. We went in to nurse around 10:40, and neither of them even seemed phased by the sound of fireworks outside. Perhaps next year.
Thursday, the kids had their follow up with the pediatrician to check their weight. Apparently, all this eating is paying off. Both kids gained over 2 lbs in 3 weeks! That's more than they usually gain in two months! The solids are going a lot better each day. Hank seems a lot more interested, and Clara continues to be a good eater. The trick now is getting them to stay interested throughout the entire meal. Often, about half way through, they started zoning out, looking outside, watching Norm... pretty much anything but paying attention to their food. Clara's newest trick is to try and eat her toes during the feed. She is surprising good at this maneuver!
We leave for a trip to DC on Monday. After the mess that was our trip to Montreal, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this goes a little smoother. I am trying to be cautiously optimistic.
Few things are as challenging as packing for the kids, the dog, and myself. I find that it takes a lot longer than I would ever think. So far, I have gotten their clothes and food packed. That's it. Now it's time for all the little things, like their bibs, diapers, wipes, washclothes, etc. For little guys, they sure do have a lot of stuff that goes with them, even when I am trying to streamline the packing!
