Hoo-raayyyy!  We knew that after the babies turned 1 they would be able to move to regular milk instead of formula.  So we strategically bought only enough formula to go a little past their birthday.  Last Monday we used up the last of the formula we had and are now using regular milk.  They all made the switch without any fuss or problems.  The only thing that seems to be changing is they do not seem to want as much of it.  But we're not sure if this is due to it being milk, or just the normal transition as they are getting on to more spoon-fed foods.

Their current feeding schedule is:
7:30   - bottle of 6 - 7 oz.
10:30 - one bowl of cereal w/fruit each
2:30   - Stage 2 dinner w/Stage 3 dinner (Stage 3 has chunks) and veggie mixed in
4:30   - Snack (puffs, crackers, or baby yogurt) and bottle of 4 or 5 oz.
7:00   - bottle of 7 - 8 oz.

Jonathan does not mind the chunks in Stage 3 food at all.  Lydia will try to be sly, and only open her mouth half as wide when she does not like something.  Anna just throws a fit, refuses to open her mouth, and makes a royal mess when she gets anything too chunky.

Grandma Johnson is here for a visit now too.  The girls, especially Anna, cried when they first saw her.  Anyone other than Mommy or Daddy seems to make them cry...its just the "stranger" stage that they are in right now.  By the 2nd day of Grandma here, they no long cry just from seeing her but they still cry sometimes when she tries to hold them.  Jonathan seems to be happy to see and play with anybody.

Daddy quit his job already (before he even started).  Daddy was offered a position at a good, stable company here in York.  So it was a no-brainer to decide to take it vs. the job in Harrisburg.  Start-date is May 21st.
