Evie finally got her bath today – at 9pm. She had stuff in her hair and had a good day, so I figured she was due. She didn’t mind it too much and smelled much better afterward! Dad got to hold Maggie during her 8:30 pm feed – since he hasn’t been able to hold them much. She made some funny faces and made her head all red and then made some atrocious noises, quickly followed by smelliness. I’m not sure how many times we are going to think it as funny in the future – but she did it 3 times while Dad was holding her, so we thought it was pretty funny. However, we did Rock-Paper-Scissors for who changed it, and I lost. Maggie moved up her feeds to 33cc – she’s trying to catch up to her sister! The girls and I had our 2pm practice and…it definitely needs more practice. I’d pretty much given up on Maggie after 20 minutes or so, but after a little rest and remembering what she was supposed to be doing – she finally was actively participating. But she didn’t quite have the breathing part synchronized in the breathe, suck, swallow routine and so we had to stop her. But, I was happy as I figured I’d end up leaving frustrated. I have keep reminding myself in all of this – baby steps.
