Easter
Teagan and Rianne made their first appearance at church. They did really well and were entertained by just looking around. They then made their first trip to their great grandma and grandpa Pauk's farm. It was so nice to be able to take part in family activities and not be on house arrest. Brielle is still on oxygen so we are being cautious with her so she stayed at home with Tony.

| Mommy didn't want him in some scruffy 5K t-shirt in this picture, that's why he was late. |
Great Grandpa Nelson, Grandma and Grandpa Guerra, and Uncle Chris Tony's family all made the trip to Iowa to meet the girls.

| Rianne: How do yo like my toes? |
The girls were baptized on April 15th at Lutheran Church of Hope Ankeny. They girls did so well at church. We weren't that family with the screaming child! Thank you to everyone who came to church for their special day.

Sleep Training
Last week we started sleep training. The girls were put to sleep drowsy but awake at nap time after they were fed and read a book and a sang a song. I did the same at night time (Tony was sent away for a couple days) and when they woke up at night I let them cry for a bit and went in and patted their butts if necessary. After three nights and help from my sister Megan and our nanny Elise, all the girls have slept thru the night!! Tony and I were actually hanging out together on the couch a couple nights ago!
The girls are 9 months- 6 months adjusted.
Teagan is now rolling and army crawling all over the place. It won't be long till she starts to crawl. We have a lot of baby proofing to do! Teagan can sit up but not for too long (she has a big head). The girls have all had really runny and stuffy noses and Teagan was put on Amoxicillin. She LOVES the stuff. As soon as I start to shake it up she goes crazy. I'll try and get a video. Teagan now has two teeth and constantly jabbers.

| One handin' it. Holla! |
Rianne can sit up by herself but often falls backwards so we have to sit behind her.
Brielle can sit up by herself with little help. She can also roll and move herself around to find toys. Brielle loves to jump in the bouncer now and can jabber up a storm when she wants to.
The girls are eating quite a bit (27-30 ounces of formula, one 4 ounce jar of fruit each at lunch, two 4 ounce jars of vegetables mixed with rice for dinner for the three) and seem to be getting heavy. They were discharged from homecare so we don't get frequent weights anymore. They only thing that the girls don't enjoy is peas.
No one likes peas. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteBut seriously they are so adorable! I wish we would have know that day was their baptism, I would have loved to been there!
