Peas, Plus A Cough Update...

Lilly didn't cough at all during the night, but started again as soon as she woke up. I got her into the doctor's at 9:40 am today. Her regular pediatrician was out, but we saw one of her associates and she was nice. She said that Lilly's lungs and heart sounded good and nothing looked bad. She doesn't have RSV and it most likely an upper respiratory, virus thing. :(

She told us what to look for in case it turns into something more or she does get RSV. Of course, while we were at the doctor Lexi started coughing too. So we are home and the girls are still happy and acting fine. They do not act sick at all, which is good.

We will be watching for signs of something worse and just keep the girls in, and see if we can get through this...keep praying for them. I hate that little raspy cough...sounds so sad.

On a better note, we came home from the doctor and the girls started playing together and laughing up a storm just from looking at each other...here they are...and yes, Lexi's new thing is to stick her tongue out when she gets excited.

Then for lunch the girls got their first taste of peas...mommy's least favorite vegetable, YUCK!!! The girls really liked peas. They opened up wide for every bite after that first one. We are doing vegetables first and then moving into fruits when their little bellies are used to vegetables. So we ate 4 days of squash and now the peas. We have green beans and carrots next and then onto some fruits. This has been so much fun seeing how they react and I hope they learn to love their veggies and grow big and strong!!

Here are some "pea" eating pictures...The first two are Lilly. This first picture reminded us of Popeye. I told her to smile really big and she got so excited.

Gotta love those little grins...

Lexi liked hers too, but she kept trying to blow bubbles and spitting them onto her daddy, thus the messier bib and face!
