Yummy

Tonight was a night of firsts in the Miller household.  The twins ate their first somewhat solid with a spoon.  So exciting!  I have been waiting for this milestone for months.  We started them on oatmeal with apple juice as the mixer.  Our pediatrician thought oatmeal was the best starter for the twins with their bowel issues since it has more fiber than rice cereal.  And the apple juice is also to stimulate more regular number 2's!  Bring it on :) 

It definitely didn't go as smoothly as I had anticipated but it will get better.  I think our biggest issue was the bumbo, sometimes the twins like it and sometimes they despise it.  Tonight was the latter.  Jackson did really well with the spoon and seemed to catch on quickly.  He hardly spit out any of the oatmeal.  Harper, on the other hand, was not so happy about the situation in general.  Instead of focusing on eating she decided to grab the bowl of oatmeal and dump it everywhere!  Parent fail number 1 leaving the bowl in reach of an almost 4 month old!  Nightly baths are now even more important.

I was able to snap a few pictures of their first bites.  I'm sure I will be posting many more throughout the next two weeks!

Before picture, Jackson was calm just long enough for me to snap this picture

And Harper was calm for just as long . . .

Not sure what to think about this mom!

Jackson was a champ!
