After several days with little success 'eating' carrots (but tons of success getting them on everything), we decided to step back and try rice cereal. Apparently, this is the normal first food as it is heavily diluted with milk and basically tastes like nothing (although Brant nor I have tried it). I am happy to report that rice cereal is white and leaves no orange residue - which I am still finding throughout the house. This left me to ponder, is it bad if they just eat rice cereal forever? We put Grandma to work shortly upon arrival.
I am happy to report that I completed the girls' stockings just in time for Christmas. I'm not sure that anything will really fit into them, but they coordinate with the ones my sister made Brant and I back in 2003. This is a picture of our mantel decorated for the holidays. We actually have a fireplace for the first time. Yes, that's right - we didn't have one in Boston or Chicago (where it would have been used all the time) but instead we have one in LA - where the sun always shines and the winter temperatures are in the 60s.
Hi Kari, you don't know me but I was given your blog by a friend. Not sure the connection but you may have worked with her sister??? We live in Monroe, WA. (Ben & Erin Wright, sister is Lindsay Rowlands. does that ring a bell?) Anyway, I also have triplet girls who will be six months old on 12/29. I love reading your blog because you are able to put into words almost exactly what we are going through :) I have a blog, but don't post often. herecometherays.blogspot.com. I'd love to chat more by email or phone with you sometime. feel free to contact me if you ever get some free time! dannbren@yahoo.com
