We are almost weaned off formula! It was rough going at first. (which means I gave in....which I know you should never do....but honestly when you have two screaming 1 year olds grabbing your legs and hurling bottles at you.......sometimes you break down). I didn't cave completely though, I have been "cutting" the formula with milk since their birthday. Lo and behold, I think they finally like the milk. I've hardly used formula at all the past few days and everyone's happily sipping their milk. Peace again in our house till I work on weaning from bottles to cups.....We do cups okay but there's still some comfort in those bottles, so that's our next big task!
In other news....Emilynn burned 3 fingers. Urrghhh...I know it's awful. It was an accident. She touched part of the oven that we didn't even realize GOT hot. The dr. reassured me that it does happen, even though in an ideal world it wouldn't. So, Monday was an unplanned visit to the dr. to have Emmy looked at and get an antibiotic cream. If you have to take something positive from this incident, it is preventing her from sucking her fingers, so that habit might be broken. And we are gating off the kitchen. I usually keep them out of there when cooking anyway, but our house is pretty open so it's hard. Especially when you are by yourself and Dustin was keeping them by himself while I was at church when this happened.
Anyway, she's having trouble going to sleep without those fingers to suck on, but other than that she's doing great.
We still aren't taking the babies anywhere right now.....we are homebound every day. I haven't left home since the dr. appt. Monday, so I am looking forward to buying milk tonight-hahaaha....Actually it's not too bad.....it hasn't been nearly as bad as I thought but I do miss being able to visit family. :-( I haven't seen my Granny since before Christmas. Maybe soon.....
I'm off to do a few more things before nap is over!
