Say What????
Ok, so nevermind the weird crossed-eyedness of the picture...
Do you see it?
My baby Amelia cut her first tooth yesterday!
Soon she'll be babbling away and then next thing you know she'll be walking down the aisle... ok, I exaggerate a little!!
But they do indeed grow up right before our very eyes.
PS- Keep your eyes peeled for my next recipe post! Want to know what to do with all of that leftover Spicy Mexican Chicken? Throw it in the crock-pot and make Mexican Taco (With-or-Without-Beer) Soup!
back in the saddle...
Today we are back in the saddle of sleep training! We decided to wait a month longer that what we initially had expected and though that meant another sleep deprived month I am so glad we waited.
Our girls are now taking in 24-26 ounces in a 24 hour period (which was one of the pre-requisites for training) and they are doing a little better with their reflux.
Today we are stretching the girls to eating every 4 hours. We awoke and ate at 6:30am and they won't eat again until 10:30am, 2:30pm and then their final feeding at 6:30pm. During the night we will let them go as long as they can and when they naturally wake up we'll feed them as much as they want.
This takes about 4 weeks to get them to sleep through the night!
Goals for week 1: Get babies to eat on a 4 hour schedule eating 4 times a day: 6:30am, 10:30am, 2:30pm, and 6:30pm.
