Today was Darren's first Father's day. Not much of a start when he was awaken by the cries of Evan! We decided on going to our favourite roadhouse in Edenvale and opted for the "Sunday Lunch" meal which was great! I think Darren enjoyed the last bit of the meal with a small portion of jelly and custard! For a winters day, the weather was perfect and it was great taking the kids out for a drive out since they've been indoors for two weeks due to the cold winter that we've been experiencing.
We're not too sure what's been happening with the kids though. They've been having quite a few restless nights and I'm not too sure if teething has anything to do with it. Kayla unusually has been restless too - she usually doesn't have any problems sleeping, but recently has been waking up in between her sleeps so the only thing that I can think of is teething especially since they've been drooling so much recently.
Today, I stopped giving them any forms of solid foods to see if it affected their sleeping habits. I was very anxious in starting them with solids which they seemed to have taken to quite easily, but with them being so restless, I thought that maybe they aren't ready for solids and was affecting them in some way or another. It didn't seem to make much of a difference, although their appetites have definitely increased, but that's probably because we stopped the solids! Noah's been finishing his bottles, so with that in mind and them eating well, I'm not too sure if its teething? I dunno.....so much to think about when you have three babies in mind! So I'm going to try giving them a portion of solids for dinner tonight and see if it makes any difference. Since they've increased their feeds, they've dropped from 6 feeds to 5, making it 5 hourly in between feeds. Their eating routine is way out of sync, so have to find a new way to get everything back to normal. I'm also not too sure if this has anything to do with them not been able to sleep through the night? Any suggestions?
Anyway, it was a nice relaxing day. We also spent the evening with our families having everyone's favourite home meal, braai and watched a few soccer games to end the evening off.
