The highlights this month have been that they each have taken a s few steps and Drew is walking, not like we could go to the mall and stroll but like 8 steps at a time. They are funny. Drew learned to play peek-a-boo and just randomly hides his face to play. Charis pushes everything across the floor as she walks. Drew learned a sippy cup!! Charis has turned into Miss Piggy with her solids. She loves to eat pasta, cheese, and yogurt.
I can't lie, this has been a hard month! The babies were sick back to back so for over 2 weeks someone was sick. Prayers would be much appreciated at this point because Charis quit taking a bottle 15 days ago. The problem is she doesn't know how to use a sippy cup. I have tried EVERYTHING to get liquids in her. We tried cups, sippy cups, straws, syringes, different nipples but she screams and spits it out. This began because the poor baby had an ear infection and the bottle hurt her ears. Now she still won't take it. We have been to the doctor twice and urgent care the last 15 days. She is still on antibiotics. I pray all day that the next feeding she will take one and so far no progress. I am worn out. I have to sneak liquid into her food to keep her from getting dehydrated. I also don't want her lose weight because she is teeny. So PLEASE pray for her to either learn and LOVE the sippy cup or submit to the bottle. The good news is that she is happy and precious, just a major character builder for her mommy.
