Twin Tuesday

It's like we have newborns again. We have been waking up with the twins almost every night in the last week. It's exhausting, and a gentle reminder that we are perfectly content if these two kids are all we have. (Side note- we plan to adopt, but it will be a child who is a little older!) Hayden and Reese have been really weird with their eating this week, so I don't know if they are just hungry at night or what. We jokingly blame everything on teething, but who knows. They do seem to be growing a little. They've also been sick off and on for two weeks, and they are back on an antibiotic for sinus infections. Hayden's fever keeps going over 102/103 and it's pathetic.

We had basically weened them off of bottles/formula. They were only having one a day, but once they got sick almost two weeks ago, they reverted back to wanting bottles more. I guess for the comfort? I don't know. I keep trying to introduce new, one year old friendly foods, but they keep rejecting it. Reese is almost funny when it happens if it wasn't so frustrating. She responds to food (such as real oatmeal, rice, shredded chicken, etc) as though she is being stabbed with a hot poker. She used to simply lean away or push at the spoon/fork. Now she tries to dive out of her high chair, squeals, clenches her teeth, and then sticks her tongue out and makes a fart noise if it gets too close.

Hayden will let us put the food in his mouth, but then he flops his tongue out, dumping the food down his bib and wiping his tongue off. This is repeated over and over.

Open to suggestions!

She did try her first blow pop last night & loved it. Ha!

What other foods should we try or have you had great success with? What parenting tips do you have for meal times?

Who me?? She loves to put her glasses on and smile for people!
