... that is what the girls are into now. Kiley will eat both, the sweet potatoes with a little more fervor than the green beans. Kara on the other hand gags when I give her the green beans. So far I've only been able to feed them baby food once a day. I probably should increase this but I guess we are just starting out so perhaps it isn't too bad.
The girls are all recovering from our crazy weekend. Abs had her two year check up yesterday. She got one shot which she was less than thrilled about. Otherwise she did well. My pediatrician.... I know I've complained about him before... and maybe I just need to bite the bullet and switch but good grief I swear he doesn't listen to a thing I say..
I told him that when she was bit/stung by a bug she had a reaction to it... I asked him what could have caused that type of reaction (aka type of bug... bee? ant? other?)... his response. "A bug probably bit or stung her." um... yes... I just said that. Perhaps I should clarify more. Bee or ant allergies can have more severe 2nd reactions... I wanted to know if he thought it could be possible she had a reaction to one of them... but yes,... a bug got her.... why didn't I know that.
Doctor "So she's drinking plenty of water and milk?" No... she doesn't drink milk. This is like our 30th visit (exaggerating) ... I've told you she's intolerant to the milk protein, it upsets her stomach. Doctor: "Oh she has a milk intolerance? Ok..." Then he starts going through the developmental things like potty training etc. Doctor "You can drop her intake of whole milk to 1% or 2% milk" Seriously?! I just told you she doesn't drink milk.
I stopped talking at all to him at that point and let him finish his routine. I seriously don't want to take the girls in for their 6 month check ups next week. He does... not... listen. Not to anything I say. Ok rant done. I should just change doctors eh?
Otherwise Abby is doing very well. On the smaller size for her age as far as weight but with how much that girl runs who is surprised!
Kiley and Kara can sit up mostly unassisted right now, a few tip overs are to be expected. Kara is really army crawling around. Today she was chasing me as I was vacuuming at my Mom and Dad's house. Kiley is just starting to 'womp' as we call it on her hands and knees. I'm sure she'll be right behind Kara soon... or going in the opposite direction as she loves to do. I think in a way Kiley is more apt to cry until we pick her up... balancing on her stomach and flailing her hands and feet. Kara is more gung ho and will come after us if she wants us. The more upset she is the better she crawls... wow they can scream when they are mad. Sounds like angry little bob cats... sometimes it's a little funny how much they sound like baby cats.
The twins are sleeping so-so right now. Better than lately but not as well as before. Hoping for a good night tonight... my head hurts I'm so tired. And THAT is my cue to go.
P.S If there is an overload of Kiley photos... it is because the other two have not been as interested in 'playing' with me and my camera habits lol. Hopefully more soon!

I am amazed how many parents blindly take parenting advice from their ped. Medical advice, sure, but parenting advice? Our ped in TX was a clod, too. Luckily, I rarely had to go in.
Yes, Brianna, try a different doctor. Look at it as if he's working for you, not your boss. Sounds like maybe he really isn't hearing you, like he needs a hearing aid. I switched doctors a while ago. Funny how we feel like traitors or something.
