8:15 Wake up
8:25 Full 3 oz bottle
9:00 Leave the house. First we ran some exciting errands, the post office and the bank. I think I pushed it too much. Ariel was fine until we got to the bank drive thru, then she started crying.
10:00 We got to our fun destination - the local Children's Museum. There's so much to do there. First, Alex was a dinosaur in a dino cave:

Then he and Adam spent a lot of time in the sand box:

11:15 We had a snack. Most kids there had well balanced, nutritious bag lunches. Adam, Alex and I shared a bag of pretzels and goldfish. Food on the go is not my strong suit.
11:45 Potty break. I thought Adam had a poopy (which he didn't) and I changed Ariel as well. And MUCH to my dismay, there were no Ariel diapers in the diaper bag. Now, I only take partial responsibility for this, there are 2 others (*ahem* Mom, Becky) that have access. LUCKILY I had several Adam diapers, so right now Ariel is wearing a size 3 diaper. And it's a bit big. Hmph.
12:00 We left the museum.
12:30 Got home. And I immediately restocked the diaper bag. Hmph. Ariel had woken up about 3 minutes from the house, but fell asleep again in the bjorn.
1:15 Have I mentioned Alex and his forts? He wasn't up for 5 minutes before he built this one today:

These forts, or kitty houses, or shark cave require every cushion and pillow Alex can carry or drag. It drives Jeremy nuts but I don't mind, since Alex can spend hours building and playing in them. We only run into problem when Adam goes into the wrong part.
1:30 I think Ariel and Adam are in cahoots. They both woke up at the same time, one in need of a bottle and the other in need of mac & cheese. I'm pretty sure I got the right powder in everyone's meal. And I got to hold them both while they ate.
1:50 Ariel fell right back to sleep after eating.
2:30 We left to go to our doctor's appointments.
2:50 Met Becky at the Doctor's.
Here's Ariel in her Size 3 diaper:

Ariel grew! She grew!!!!

She was 7 lbs 10 oz 14 days ago, 8 lbs 9 oz today. She finally met her 1 oz/day goal! Go Ariel, Go!!!! The doctor was very pleased, Becky will continue with the soy formula and Zantac.
More pictures from the doctor's office:


Awwww, Ariel and her Mommy:

My boys had a check up too. Adam was back up to 20 lbs 12 oz (from 20 lbs 1 oz 2 weeks ago, after a stomach bug). Both of their ears were fine so they are cured. Hurrah for modern medicine!!!
3:30 Becky fed Ariel a bottle while we waited for the doctor.
3:50 Finally got out of the office. Home!
