Komarnicki Kids

We had a few changes take place over the weekend. First of all, we increased to putting two ounces of the new formula in each bottle! The babies did great over the last week with having one ounce of the new formula in each bottle, so we increased to two today. As long as this week goes well, we'll increase to three next Sunday! Secondly, we went today and bought the babies their big-kid car seats! They were getting so heavy to lift in their infant seats. Also, in our front/back double stroller, the one in the back was getting cramped because their feet would hit the car seat in front of them! So, we figured it was time to go ahead and make the change. We went and looked at all the seats Babies R Us had to offer, and finally decided on an Evenflo model. It was middle-of-the-road in cost, and seems like it will be comfortable for them to sit in. These will eventually turn into their booster seats, so should be the last seats we have to buy. However, buying these led to our third change of the weekend... We had to buy a new double stroller. The other car seats would snap into the Snap and Go which was the front/back stroller we would use whenever we had to run errands. We have a side by side jogging stroller, but it's so wide so it's hard to take most places. So, we had to buy a thinner, more practical side by side stroller. This brings our stroller count to five at the moment. I think that's enough for now. :)

So, Scott put the new seats in the car and we headed out this afternoon to give those, and the new stroller, a try. As soon as Scott strapped Addison into the new seat, she started to cry. Maybe she doesn't like change?! She was ok after we gave her her paci and wubbie (that's what we call their blankets). So, we ran our errands (they sat in their new stroller), then I went to strap her into her seat to head home and she cried again. A lot! Hopefully this doesn't happen every time we try to go somewhere now. I think/hope she'll get used to it. Fischer seemed to love the new seat. They sit up higher in them, so they can see out of their windows better and he seemed to really like that. When Scott would turn a corner, Fischer would laugh, then start "talking"! Here they are in their new seats, and their new stroller.

Once we got home, the babies rolled around on the comforter for awhile. We spread toys out and they just roll around and play with the toys. While playing, Addison got up on her hands and knees for the first time!! She only stayed in that position for a second, but she was there! They both get up on their knees a lot, but then usually fall over to the side. Things will be so much different when I have two crawling babies!! Fischer has also started a new "trick." Over the weekend, he started putting his lips together and rubbing them, sort of like he just put on chap stick and is rubbing it all around. Sometimes he even makes a smacking sound while he's doing it. He has also started showing interest in holding his own bottle again. They both were doing it for awhile for a few seconds here and there, then they both stopped. They really do something new everyday!
