We were told by the Foster caregiver and facilitator that the girls ate most all fruits, vegetables and various other foods pureed. No matter how many times and things we try we have not found fruits and vegetables to be on the girls list of "willing to try". About all that we were able to get them to eat in Guatemala was scrambled eggs, pancakes, french toast and "coffee" crackers. Neither will even give anything on a spoon a chance. It is like they have never seen a spoon before! This short list of edibles did not leave us many choices.
Upon arrival each had a little bout of vomiting and diarrhea maybe due to the change of formula. The doctor suggested staying on formula, but changing to a soy based formula. The surprise at the doctors office was that the girls did not weigh the 18 pounds that we had been told. Madison only weighed in at 15 pounds and Monroe at 16 pounds. They did not believe that the girls could have lost 2-3 pounds in the short time we had received them.

I experienced the exact same thing when brining Faith home. Give the girls some time and they will be eating and growing like crazy
