The girls have a high chair each now and from now on, they can preside in them. Antonia tried one out yesterday and it was still quite wobbly, as she hasn't yet really made it to sitting by herself without any help (standing works far better for her). But as soon as we piled up a pillow behind her, she was sitting like a queen. And liking it.

Feeding real food instead of formula is working better and better. The girls had carrots this morning and this time I had prepped them! They had to eat in diapers only. Not making the orange stain error again! Of course they were orange from the chin to their nose, but I had also planned in a bath after carrot session. Am starting to get real good routines! The babies have both started to like bathing. No more crying and almost happy faces. Still a bit of a shock-happy face, but no crying. I think I may have made a 'new mum' mistake regarding the water temperature. Being afraid of boiling them, I may have used water which wasn't as warm as it could and should be. So no wonder they didn't love it. No one (but the Swedes) bathes in 17 degrees and finds it refreshing.. haha! Don't worry and don't call social services: of course it wasn't that cold!! But a degree up or down past the right temp can give you a bad feeling.
But we weren't discussing bathing here, but food. I gave them porridge with a spoonful of prune purée and they absolutely adored it! It is so cool seeing them eat real stuff. And getting the hang of how to do with their tongue and swallowing. Seeing them open their mouth as soon as the spoon shows up in front of their mouth. Such exciting times!! I am really happy to be able to serve them the real deal once or twice per day instead of that formula. I have high hopes in improving their night sleep and even higher hopes in improving their vomiting. I'll keep you posted!

We were wearing pastels today and feeling really cosy and comfy clothing was exactly right today with all that snow outside.

Good night!!!
