After we got home, Ben got some cuddle time with Dad, and he seemed more comforted afterwards. He also got some infant tylenol to help with the pain/swelling.
We started the kids on solid foods earlier this week. It is quite comical to watch them eat. They did not seem too big on rice cereal, but they said they really like oatmeal. They love it even more when they smear it all over their faces. And they get it in their hair. And on their clothes. And in their noses... They are getting better at eating off a spoon. They have moved on to peaches, which they also really like.
The solid foods helped with Ben's spitting up for about a day, then it got worse again. So, after discussing it with the doctor, we will be starting him on Zantac twice daily tomorrow (the pharmacist was questioning the dosage, so we were unable to pick it up today). The solid foods have also helped to bump Ben up from waking every four hours during the night to eat to every six hours. Yeah! More sleep for us! Now if only Nikki would do the same...
Oh yeah, and since our kids are big kids now, they have started sleeping in their own cribs (they were sleeping in bouncy seats for head elevation) in their very own nursery (we were in the guest room where a parent could sleep in the same room). Last night was the first night in the nursery, and it went okay. Ben slept really well, but Nikki had some gas pains starting at 1 am and lasting until around 6-7 am. She was awake off and on for most of that time. Therefore, I was up off and on during that time, also.
We don't have any other new pictures to put on the blog: the battery went dead in the camera, and it took me a few days to get around to charging it. Hopefully, I'll take more soon.
