Sleeping has been the big focus of the week. Some nights are awesome and some are less awesome but we've stopped feeding them at night this week. We spent a couple of nights in Bahrain over the weekend and the girls cried a couple of times during the night but for less than 20 minutes or so each time. Once I got up and snuggled Taryn and then Kenna back to sleep but then they, and the boys, slept in until 7:30! It was amazing! Last night, was not so great. They took turns crying on and off for a couple of hours and eventually I went in and helped them get back to sleep but then they slept until 6:30. It's such a confidence booster that they CAN consistently not be fed all night long. They're not starving. They're just in the habit of waking up. We are on our way to undisturbed night time sleep just in time to head back to the US and deal with some amazing infant jet lag. Wahoo.
The girls are doing better with their rice cereal this week. They still sometimes take a few recycle spoon scrapes over the chin to get a whole spoonful swallowed but they're figuring it out and they really seem to like it. This week they've both rolled over from their backs to their tummies. When the boys discovered this trick there was no more staying in one spot from that day forward. We'd come back into the room and they would have rolled themselves to the opposite side of the room. The girls usually shuffle around a bit when they're on the ground but they don't seem to need as much action as the boys. They are very excited about their new little bit of mobility though. They're just such sweet, good babies!
