Our Friday Outing


Friday, Rory and I had breakfast at 8am, and headed off on the bus downtown to Uncle Mikey's place. Our plan was to take Taylor and Rory to the beach. First, I had to go to Superstore and find something for Rory's feet while in the water and some ready-to-feed formula. (It's been too hot to cart a cooler). They had neither items there. We then took 2 buses to Dartmouth. I got my formula, a straw cup for Rory and sunglasses. Then we went to McD's for lunch. Rory had a couple pieces of salty fries, and a bite of my bun. She wouldn't drink her bottle. So, we get to Kelly & Taylors around 1pm and Rory still will not drink her bottle. We decide to wait until she drinks. By 2pm, she still hadn't had anything to drink. I decided I couldn't take her to the beach. It was too hot and she hadn't had a thing to drink in 6 hours. Taylor, though, being the sweet little girl that she is, was happy to stay home and play with Rory in the kiddie pool in the shaded back yard. :) Rory played for 1/2 hour and then it was 2 buses back home. She finally drank her bottle at 4 pm. A fresh bottle. I had to dump the ready to feed down the drain....what's $3 per bottle, bah, no biggie, lol. All in all, it was nice to get out and see Mikey and Tay and Kelly, but I can't wait for the day we can take Rory out without worrying if she will starve herself.

I love this pic of the girls. Rory is 16 months, Taylor is 6! She was also FTT as a baby and saw the feeding clinic. She's still a teeny tiny thing, but so sweet and smart.
