Baby foodies and an unlikely sleep walker

The first time Scarlett tried solid food she gagged so hard that she threw up.  It took a few weeks before she decided she liked eating from a spoon.  So when we started feeding the twins last week, we were expecting a similar beginning.  Luckily for us the twins are little foodies.  Yes, it took them a few days to adjust to the texture and process of eating real food - but now they love it!  In fact, this morning while I was eating my yogurt I looked over and they were both staring at my spoon licking their lips!  haha!  Jaide caught on to the eating/swallowing a few days before Siena.  She also has gleaked a few times ;-)  Scarlett loves to help feed them - though after one or two bites she's bored and moves onto another project.

First time eating solids...



A week later....


This video is per Kandy's request!


Scarlett is really into asking everyone "what's you name?" even me.  Like several times a day.  Today she found a sticker on the floor "look mom!  I found a trapezoid!"  Then in the shower I heard her telling her elephant "no, you go in time out."  I opened the door and found her elephant in the corner.  I asked what was going on "elephant's in time out."  Why?  "he wasn't taking turns."  She runs a tight ship!


Several nights ago the babies kept waking up.  I had just fallen back asleep around 3am when I heard a *thud* then "owwww......" I sat up, totally confused as to what had just happened.  I saw Jake standing next to our bathroom door - facing the wall.  Then he said "I think I fell asleep walking to the bathroom and I walked into the wall!"  I couldn't stop laughing!  Oh my goodness!  I'm cracking up just thinking about it!  At least he didn't fall asleep while going to the bathroom!  Poor boy needs some sleep too!

Keep that guy away from the stairs!

Those introduction-to-food faces are great!

Maybe at Thanksgiving Scarlett will be thankful that she already has two siblings to boss around. (Shout out to oldest siblings everywhere!)

Jacob used to sleep walk in his sleep, too. I remember that if I was out late with friends, I had to be sure to lock not just the front and back doors, but the screens too, to increase the likelihood that he would still be in the house in the morning.

Of course they were happy a week later- those prunes look suspiciously like melted chocolate. The only reason I doubt that is what you fed them is I know how you don’t like to share your chocolate stash.

I like how the girls had to first take some time to yell at you for putting them on their tummy before they would roll over.

I wonder what the elephant was not taking turns doing?

And Jake- ha ha ha, poor guy.
