Dee...OMG...Bella is such a cutie! Her eyes are BEAUTIFUL! I am sorry to hear that Gerard's grandparents are having issues. We are heading to Hilton Head Island in two weeks....I hope the car ride is good for us.

I can't believe that a year ago we were pregnant....I am so in love with Aliannah....and it sounds like her birthfriends are just growing, growing and growing.


How goes the work search Dee?

Tasha...how are your little ones?

Is everyone still breastfeeding?

[scubadee22]

Thanks Nicole! It's great being so much in love isn't it! ;-) Work search isn't a full blown one yet! Isabella still won't take a bottle. We've rented cars twice in the last couple weeks and I tried feeding her bottle while she was in car seat like Tasha said, but no dice. Oh well. Gotta keep trying! Maybe when I start giving her food she'll get back into the bottle. Have you guys started with cereal and food? I am thinking of trying rice cereal mixed with breast milk tomorrow. Maybe feed it to her with a spoon? I'll let you know how that goes! ;-)

Hope you are all well and look forward to your updates!!

Dee- Im sorry the car seat didn't work! She will soon take it. We started rice cereal last week. I did it every other day, and this past week I started daily. I nurse her 1st, then feed her rice cereal. She takes both breasts, so I don't have any to pump for her cereal. I just use water. She is fine with it. I loved when she took 1 side and then a few hours later the other side. If she did that again, I would be pumping it for her cereal. Im not worried about using water :-).

BTW- She is ADORABLE!!! Love the pic!!!

Nicole- I am still breast feeding. I've been sick for over a month.. flu, double ear infection then I had 4 days of straight diarrhea (tmi) And so far this past week I've been healthy, just tired! My milk supply dipped pretty low and I had to use formula a few times when I was too weak and really sick. She did well. She also spent the night at my cousins along with the twins. She had formula since I did not have any Frozen EBM. It was great for me and dh to have a full 24hrs without kids, but my boobs sure missed Abby. LOL.


AFM- We have Abby's 6mon appt tomorrow! 6 months!!!! That leaves only 6mon until they are 1 yrs old.... toddlers! *passes out* Oh gosh! This is too much!!! We bought Abby a stationary bouncer. Its from bright starts! Had to call several stores, since NO ONE carried a PINK one! The last store was Target, in which they had the LAST pink one.... sheesh!

Here is the link to it. Bright Starts - Pink Bounce-A-Bout Baby Activity Center

Will update pics of Abby tomorrow!!!

I registered for that bouncer seat! But got an exersaucer instead, which Bella LOVES... but I still like the one you got better. I mean, come on, it's PINK!!!! Enjoy it!! So sorry to hear that you had another whammy - the dreaded D! Hope you are feeling better now!!! Thanks for the info on the rice cereal! Did Abby love it? I'll let you know how Bella likes it! I can't believe how time keeps flying either!

Oh. I tried this sippy cup http://www.nuk-usa.com/products/c-10$p-68/learner-cup-silicone.aspx and Bella holds it and brings it to her mouth, but instead of drinking she teethes on it. LOL. Silly baby...

Tasha - how did Abby's appointment go?
Nicole - you must be getting ready to leave for Hilton head soon!

AFM, I tried to feed Bella cereal last night. She HATED it. I used defrosted breast milk. I wonder if fresh milk would have been better? Also, I probably should have nursed first. I'll try again tonight...

Hope all of you are well!

Hi everyone! Just thought I'd drop in and see how everyone is doing.

The twins are 27 months...where did the time go?!

One question I wanted to ask was if anyone is potty training, when did you start, how's it going?

[BC-MiracleTwins]

I have not started. I will wait till summer right before she is 3.
