Mary Catherine is now moving forward. I wouldn't call it crawling, but at least she can finally get where she aims to go. It's more like an army crawl or a scooch combined with a roll.
I wish I had my video camera right now, but I don't want to get up and leave the twins. When I leave the room it will change their moods for the worse.
Not surprisingly, they are fighting over a large bouncy ball. It is so hilarious. One of them will get it and try to chew on it or hold it but always drops it because his/her grip isn't that great. As soon as it's dropped the other twin snatches it up. If only you could hear the squawking from them when they notice the other twin has the ball.
Other news is that I'm trying to begin the weaning process to bottles with formula. It's not going that well with Henry. Mary Catherine will take a bottle. I think it's because she takes pacifiers. Kerrigan transitioned to a bottle easily as well and she took pacifiers. So, my late afternoon feeding consists of MC taking a bottle while I nurse Henry. I feel kind of bad, but she doesn't seem to notice or care. She's always been a quick nurser and doesn't really like to linger or nurse when it's not feeding time. Henry would hang out nursing all day if I let him.
My goal is to have them on bottles by the time my milk runs out. I'm not going to buy any more medicine and I have about one month left of meds. I take four different medications to keep my milk supply up for the twins. The twins are 10.5 months, so that should work out okay. I will nurse in the morning and at night as long as my milk keeps up.
I am going to wean them to formula for a few months since they are so small. Once they are eating three meals a day consistently, then I will transition them to milk.
