Cow's Milk

The doctor gave us the OK to start with cow's milk! This typically starts at their first year birthday, but the doctor said since they eat a ton of dairy already we are fine to start 2 weeks early.

They sucked it down like it was candy!

I'm excited because since I stopped giving them my milk at 10 months, the formula costs have increased. Thankfully we can now supply a few days of milk on just a couple bucks.

Sylvia got her right upper today!

Milestones

A few days ago, we stopped giving the girls' milk at bedtime. And, they have been off bottles for nearly 2 months. They get about 6oz with dinner and then water while we read books. It was no big deal. The next challenge is starting to practice drinking with an open cup. The experts say sippy cups should be used only temporarily as a transition from bottle to a regular cup. Prolonged use of a sippy cup can really mess up a kid's teeth and is said to impact language development. We will only give milk at meals, no juice, and water other times. This should help ensure good dental hygiene and not affect their language development (we hope! until they discover candy!). Now that they are very proficient at sippy cup use it's time to start practicing!

Also, the girls will have their first taste of cow's milk this weekend. We're starting the transition from formula to cow's milk!

Gosh, where did the time go?

Sylvia's First Tooth At 11 Months and 14 Days

Sylvia finally got her first tooth! It's her upper left and I think her upper right isn't far behind. I just wonder where those lower teeth are that typically come in first.

Evelyn has 3 teeth, 2 bottom center and upper right. The upper left is coming
