All three are asleep by 9 p.m. (Maddie still sleeps in the pack-n-play in our bedroom for no reason other than I like her nearby. James and Amelia sleep in their cribs in the nursery.) All three wake up around 5 a.m. for a morning snack, then fall back asleep until 8-8:30. James always wakes up first. Amelia could sleep all morning if I let her.
By 10:30 a.m. all three are back in their cribs or pack-in-play for a morning nap. They typically nap until 12/12:30. Their afternoon nap is 3/3:30 until 5.
eating habits:
9 am- 6 oz bottle (breastmilk)
10 a.m.--split 12 oz of baby food
1 p.m.--6 oz bottle (breastmilk/formula)
1:30 p.m.-bites of cheerios, yogurt melts, diced fruit, etc
5 p.m.--6 oz bottle (breastmilk/formula)
6 p.m.--split 8 oz of food
9 p.m.--6 oz bottle (breastmilk/formula)
5 a.m.--5 oz bottle (breastmilk)
*We just introduced sippy cups of water and small bites of food (rather than purees) at exactly 7 months old.
milestones:
James-holds his own bottle
Amelia-so close to sitting up unassisted
Maddie-keeps her food down!
challenges:
-They all still lack coordination to put finger foods in their mouth.
-Vaccines seem to cause fevers and serious fussing.
-Where are the teeth??? The drooling and teething is chronic, but still no teeth.
victories:
-Maddie is gaining weight at the same rate as James and Amelia.
-All three have a great appetite and love eating.
-Maddie had an uneventful cardiologist appointment with no major concerns.
-We go everywhere using the quad stroller with relative ease.
special notes:
-The babies had a few more firsts this month: swinging at the park, snowfall, Valentine's Day, and playing at Discovery Place.
