We just got back from taking Kailey, Parker and Zoe for a walk. What a nice day and it was so awesome walking on a bare (clear of snow and ice) sidewalk. This really excites me because this is just the beginning of what I am hoping will be part of our daily routine. I feel so refreshed and Kailey had a blast watching her dogs and her Daddy. I may not be able to manage Zoe and Parker together and the stroller but the shelties shouldn't be a problem. I will take Parker every time for sure. Today was a test to see if he would walk nicely beside me with the stroller without panicking and he was amazing. He has a new found confidence that I am so pleased about. He used to spook really bad with traffic and such, I guess he just needed to overcome some internal obstacles regarding his self esteem...hahaha.
So on to Miss K and the bottle saga. She has had three ALSOY bottles and so far so good. She stops at the four ounce mark still and needs a break, but she hasn't spit up and is a more content eater. (fingers crossed). They say that it will take three days or so to really see a difference so I am hoping she is a lot happier eating. She managed to drink some water out of a sippy cup today without my assistance. This is just a transition spout that goes on the current bottles. She loved playing with this and she thinks she is pretty darn cool when she actually got something from it herself. I think I will pick her up the actual AVENT sippy with the handles just to make it a little easier for her. She had about four or five spoonfuls of Barley cereal this afternoon as well. One more day of the barley and I get to try her on the oatmeal. I am curious to see how she likes that oats as everyone has told me that their kiddies like that the best. I will try to get a video of her drinking from her sippy because it is sooo cute. She opens her mouth and she concentrates and starts at her nose and drags it into her mouth and ta da...magic. Eyes light up and she smiles. I like the fact that this is a no drip spout as well.
