Anthony Eating Cereal

Here is the lost picture of Anthony eating rice cereal and also some other pictures.

Anthony again with Jaileighs hand on his head.

Jaileigh with her rice cereal face. We either feed them in their Bumbo chairs or their boppies and we spoon feed them. This should make all the occupational therapists happy.

Michael showing his new dislike for cereal. He figured out that the bottle is much faster.

How many adults does it take to go for a walk with quads? . . . . . . . . 4

We took the babies for a walk Sunday morning. Yes, I am wearing shorts. The weather here is amazing. I love it and so do the babies. We went around the block. Mike said that it took us 9 minutes. Anthony was cranky and had to be carried until he fell asleep. Jaileigh slept through the walk and Michael and Jakob loved it, They got the front row seats in the stroller and really enjoyed the view.

First Meal

We gave in to the babies demands and gave them their first real meal - RICE cereal. Michael LOVED it. He would cry if I didn't give it to him fast enough. The others weren't to sure if they liked it or not. They were all pretty good at eating it. Michael and Jaileigh were even chewing it. Our pediatrician and GI doctor gave us permission to start it at 5 months. The babies are now 5 1/2 months old. At 6 months we get to start real baby food. We are all excited for that!

New weights:
Anthony 11 lbs 14 1/2 ozs
Michael 12 lbs 4 ozs
Jakob 12 lbs 3 ozs
Jaileigh 9 lbs 8 ozs

Jakob is not so sure that he likes it. Something happened to the picture of Anthony because I can't find it. I will have to take another one.

We also got BUMBO chairs for Christmas. They love sitting in them and socializing with each other. They are so cute too. Early Childhood Intervention comes in on Friday's to work with the babies and suggested we ask Bumbo chairs for Christmas. They are really neat chairs.

Playing with each others toes, Michael and Jakob socializing. They are really cute together. They are now aware of each other and actually "talk" to one another.
