Breakfast In Bed

Now that both boys are quite mobile giving them bottles is kinda tricky. Neither want to be cuddled while drinking anymore and so I had started just handing them bottles while they layed on a blanket on the living room floor. This worked ok until I discovered that the amount they were actually consuming was about 1/2 of what they should be. I quickly realized that it was because they would get distracted by a toy or Zoe and crawl off to play, abandoning the bottle and most of its contents. My solution became that they always drink their bottles in the crib now. This works like a charm! They get it all down and there is very little stealing of their brother's bottle.

Look how big they are! They stretch the entire width of the crib now. One would think that it would be time to move them to separate cribs but I don't believe it can be done yet. A couple of days ago I put them down for a nap and Jude kept crawling over and climbing on top of Cort. He would not stay off his brother no matter how many times I put them in separate corners so I eventually just pulled Cort out of the crib in the nursery and deposited him in the crib in our room. This resulted in 45 minutes of screaming from both boys. Apparently they want to be together even if they are a little cramped.

While cleaning out a box the other day I ran across a toy that Zoe Scout used to play with when she was little.

Her great grandparents (Nana and Grandaddy) gave it to her for her 1st birthday. She loved it and while I am not a fan of musical toys it did provide many hours of fun for her!








Here is Colin showing her how to use it at her 1st birthday party.

Check out that hair!








I discovered that you could pull the legs off and it became instant fun for Cort and Jude. Zoe Scout even decided to play.























The boys were thrilled every time they discovered a new sound.


















Once again it is providing many hours of fun for little Parrs. Thanks Nana and Grandaddy!

  2. I love how twins hate being separated. Keep em together as long as possible, I say.

    Are you pumping all those bottles?? I can't imagine, tho well done if you are!

    Your kids are lovely, Sarah. As I look at my own changed figure and get sad about it, all I have to do is look at my two and I forget about a certain size or weight I once was before I had the best gifts in the whole world looking back at me. ;)
