Updates!!

My little ladies picked up some new tricks over the weekend. Stella crawls like a big girl now! No more army crawling for her! She has become a fearless little explorer. She also is getting much better at drinking from her sippy cup. You may remember me saying that she coughed like she was choking every time that she took a sip, but now she's got it down pretty good. Mya had been pulling herself up on the couch, chairs, cupboards, us, etc. for a while but over the weekend she moved from standing at her music table over to the couch. I'm not ready for all this movement yet. It is exhausting!

Dr. Carmen told us they need to work on eating chunkier foods and also to work on their pincher grasp (thumb and pointer finger to pick things up). Mya wants absolutely nothing to do with anything that isn't pureed. She spits it right back out. She was not a fan of tangy things either (i.e. pineapple and kiwi). Stella on the other hand LOVES these things. She really likes the sweet potato puffs and it is the cutest thing ever to watch her put them in her mouth. She generally begins correctly but the puff moves in her hand and because her hands are wet/sticky from eating the puff sticks to her hand and she just basically licks her whole hand getting 2 or 3 puffs in at a time. They get stuck on her lips sometimes and she ends up looking like a frog eating flies. LOL She really enjoys it though! We have tried to make their meals chunkier and also allowed them to feed themselves banana, sweet potato puffs, pineapple, and kiwi. We are going to try Cheerios, mango pieces, blueberries, steamed peas, carrots and broccoli next. Milo also enjoys this new task because he ends up with a few extra treats as they sometimes drop food to the floor.

Holy sour pineapple!
