Peas Please!

The girls had peas today for lunch. If I would have given them the bowl I think they'd have licked it clean. It is funny what they like and don't like: Pears NO WAY, jarred Bananas NO WAY, fresh bananas YES PLEASE! Elyse loved fresh avocado, but when I added cereal she wanted nothing to do with it. Tamsin did not like the avocado at all. Last week I went and bought some jarred baby food to have in the house just in case, or so I can keep it in the diaper bag and not worry. And Sunday I made my first batch of baby food- 1 batch of butternut squash and 1 batch of carrot, parsnip and sweet potatoes. They love the root trio. It is so much fun to see the faces they make when they try a new food.

Grape Jelly Moustache

Today I put a little grape jelly on Elyse between her upper lip and nose, she kept flicking out her tongue  to lick it off. It was very cute, maybe mean, but very cute.

Patty the Pig

Elyse and Tamsin, mostly Tamsin, go NUTS for Patty the Pig on Sprout. Patty hosts the Sharing Show and any time she is on the screen Tamsin shrieks, smiles and rocks back and forth. It is adorable. 

what a day

the girls were up super early this morning, 4 am, we fed them and put them back down for second sleep. they slept until 5:30 and we got them at 6. because they were so tired and didn't nap when they normally do it has been rough today! they screamed, for 2 hours both of them. it is amazing how much they need a consistent routine. they went down for their nap a little early, at 1pm, so i hope they nap until at least 3:30 so they will be back on track.

they are sitting up on their own and they are also growing like crazy! they are in 12 month clothes!! because they are growing so quickly i had to get them in their first cuffy's shirt. they turned 6 months at the end of january and they'll have their next drs. appointment this friday. at that appointment we will talk to the dr. about starting solid food. i am very excited!
