Riley and Avery

My working yesterday went a bit better for Rudi. I made dinner for them to eat after I left; teriyaki salmon, stuffing, and leftover veggies. That way I knew that Riley would be fed. Riley was absolutely perfect for Rudi, but Avery screamed. She took the expressed milk and ate cereal, but still screamed. I am starting to suspect bananas, because this happens every time I give them to her, but I've never heard of anyone being allergic to bananas, so maybe I'm wrong. Riley mashed up and fed Avery bananas yesterday absolutely all by herself. It was really cute, and really messy. When I came home yesterday Avery was wearing one of Riley's old pull-ups. Rudi is really trying to avoid the cloth diapers. He didn't bring them in to Starbucks, so I missed them. He also didn't answer the phone because he left it in the garage, so I had no idea what was going on. That sucked.

In the world of make-believe, Riley is a mamma frog today. Avery has perfected the pincher grasp and is so incredibly dainty it's fun to watch her. Riley has become quite fond of vanilla soy milk, although she pronounces it "gorilla milk." It's amazing how long a quart of milk will last us now, about a week. We used to go through at least five gallons in a week. Of course, no milk in the house means no cookies in the house, and Rudi's not too happy about that.

The weather did get a little cooler and Rudi and I are finding that we really have no clothes for the girls. It's getting hard to find pants that fit over Avery's bottom and long-sleeved shirts for Riley that don't show her tummy. I guess when we get paid we will have to head over to Old Navy for some fall shopping. Plus, Riley is starting school next week and I don't want her to look like an orphan.
