Sicky-Poo, Veggies, and Teething Too

24 Apr, 2006  |  Written by Rob Fay  |  under Babies, General, Home, Milestones

Well, Dad and Emily got sick, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that everyone else is spared. For Dad, he was struck with a 24 hour fever. He returned to work, but then was stuck with a second wave of a fever, this time accompanied with severe congestion. Emily got hit with the same. We’re hoping the worst is over.

Over the last few weeks we’ve moved from straight formula feeding to introducing rice and oatmeal cereal. That has helped dampen their appetites, so they do not have to feed quite so much. Today Mom introduced vegetables - peas - and both girls loved them! Let’s see if the same is true for spinach!

Another first today - Mom determined that Isabel is starting to teethe! She’s been more irritable and has been drooling more, but today Mom could feel some razor-sharp niblet working its way out.

I will post some pics of Easter soon - I’ve been a bit lazy in my posting ever since coming down with my illness.

    Wow–one sneeze and you’ll have green polka-dotted everything! We used carrots for a brighter look. That’s incredible that they love peas–not part of our family! Have you tried any of that stuff? At a shower Saturday, the mom-to-be was given samples of various babyfood to try–not to happy with it! Can’t wait to see the pictures!

    Peas!!!! My girls haven’t tried those yet.. but they pretty much beg for squash (gerber stage 1). I gave them cereal mixed with bananas one day and they spit it out at me. LOL
