1-year old Diet
Hello,
Now that my babies are going to be 1 in less than a month. I am overwhelmed at the thought of giving up their nutritious formula. They are pretty good eaters. I guess what I am most concerned about is making sure they get a well rounded diet with all the food groups on a daily basis. Does anyone know of a website with ideas on a toddlers diet? TIA ~Kimberly Mommy to Alexis Iliana 07/17/99 and Emma Elidia & Aislyn Gabriela 10/01/02 come see us... http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/a/aislynemma/ |

1-year old Diet
We were told over and over that it isn't a DAILY food intake but weekly.
Some days the twins would eat 3 apples and other days no fruit at all, but for the week they certainly had very balanced food intake. Bread, cereal are your grains, again, snacks do count, milk (or formula - though we switched to whole milk at 1), ice cream, yogurt, calcium, hot dogs (chicken pref.), hamburger pieces, chicken cut up (meat) etc., etc. Again, it was a pediatric dietitian who said that the groups needed to watched by the week, not day, so that parents wouldn't fret.

Kim,
I have been thinking of the same things latley. Can you believe our babies will be 1 in a few short weeks?? At least you have a little experience, having Alexis. Every time a new feeding routine is introduced it seems overwhelming to me. My kids g for their 1 yr. appt. to the pedi in Oct. and I will keep them on the formula and stage 3 food until then. Then, I will ask the pedi what she reccommends for feeding a 1 yr. old. Do you have any recent pics of the girls on your website? Megan Mommy to miracle twins... Aidan & Alexis Born 9-28-02 |

Kim,
Refresh my memory...were Emma and Aislyn premature? Mine were 7 weeks premature. Alexis is doing great, right up there with a fullterm baby. She is "cruising" all around the furniture and will let and take 1 step towards me. She stands for a few seconds by herself. Aidan has had some issues with low muscle tone and has been in PT since June, but since then he has been doing remarkably. He gets around the house using an "army crawl" and sometimes is faster than Alexis. Just this past Sat. he pulled himself into a standing position for the first time and has been standing, holding onto something, ever since. In a way, I do not want them to walk. That is just another "baby" thing that will disappear. I know that all stages of childhood are exciting but it is bittersweet to come to an end of that infant stage. I don't know your story, but I have major infertility/complicated pregnancy issues, so I don't know if I will have anymore children. So, everyday is just so special to me. Blah, blah, blah....

I put a few pictures of Alexis on
the website so you can see how much she looked like them at this age. That is the only things that makes us think they are fraternal. Wow! You're right about that! They do look amazingly like Alexis. I remember you saying that Emma & Aislyn look a lot like Alexis did when she was a baby, but I didn't realize they favored each other *that* much. Andrea twin girls-Jordan & Madison 3 yrs. old |
