Peas

On Tuesday the boys had there 9 month appointment. Nathan is 23 inches, 12 pounds 15 ounces. Owen is 22 3/4 inches, 11 pounds 12 ounces. Both had their fingers pricked and have perfect iron counts.

They are on poli-visol now. Owen does not mind the taste, I just mix it in an early morning bottle of milk and he drinks away. Since Nathan does not take supplimental bottles of milk I put it in his baby cereal. I have to split the cereal in half putting the vitamins in just one batch. Then I get a little vitamin cereal on the spoon and cover it with the good non-vitamin cereal. We then follow-up with a non-vitamin cereal bite.

The boys are not on the growth chart yet, but are making a nice looking chart of their own. Logan started off below the charts too but is now in the 40% of 4 year olds. (His check-up was Wednesday.)

We don't need to go back to the doctor until our 1 year appointment!!!

Side note: We LOVE our pediatrician!!! So, if anyone is ever looking we use Stacey Gilbert at Mayfair Medical in Homewood.

The boys got the go ahead to eat baby food!!! We started first with peas. Here they are ready to start.Nathan's first impression of peas. Nathan loves peas so much he ate almost an entire jar yesterday.Here is Nathan's first few bites.

Owen decided he loves peas about as much as Preston. Like most babies he wants to acquire the taste before eating an entire jar like his brother.
