What's In Your Bag?

On the HDYDI website the latest post is about MoM Krissy and how her diaper bag habits have changes as her twinnies grew and what she keeps in her bag now. In the spirit of things I thought I would share with you the contents of our diper bag.

6 diapers
1 pack of wipes
1 can of forumla
2 sippy cups
1 snack cup of Cheerios
1 snack cup of Puffs
1 snack box of animal crackers
1 snack bag of Little Fruits
2 pow-pows per girl (pacifiers)
2 pairs of shoes
1 bottle of Tylenol
1 medicine dropper
1 bottle of Hyland's teething tablets
1 bottle of Germ-X
1 wallet
1 digital camera
1 set of keys

Now this big in no way shape of form resembles the monster I cared when they were first born. I put everything but the kitchen sink in that thing! Extra clothes, bibs, toys, socks, clothes for me, burp clothes, you name it...I had it!

As you can tell H1 and H2 are big on the food! They absolutely love to eat. As I stated in the last post H2 no longer eats the Cheerios (thought I will keep trying to give them to her) so I have to make sure I bring a little bit of each type of snack for them.

Finger Foods

The girls just love eating dinner now. They are such amazing eaters and love being able to feed themselves. It keeps the frustration level down since no one is waiting on slow-poke-mommy to get the spoon to their mouth. So far H1 will eat everything but H2 is starting to show some preferences. If there is something she does or does not want she'll pick them out. She is a huge broccoli fan and I think would probably eat broccoli all day every day if she could. On the other hand she will no longer eat Cheerios. Of course, the cheapest finger snack and she won't eat it! If you put them in front of her with some Puffs she'll pick the Puffs out to eat and then proceed to throw the Cheerios at you. It really does make me laugh!

 

Our First Shoes

Today we went to the mall and got the girls their first pair of "Big Girl Shoes!" They are doing more and more walking and it will only be a matter of days before they're walking across the living room. (Note to self...remember to video tape them walking for the website.) It has been difficult to find shoes that fit their little feet. They have very narrow feet, like me, and also have absolutely no heels. It took about three different shoes to finally find ones that would stay on their feet. They have done really great with them today. It only took a few tries but they got a hang of them and were up to their normal cruising around.

Our First Real Meal

Tonight the girls had their first "real" meal of macaroni and cheese, carrots and peaches tonight. All finger foods that they ate completely by themselves! I should have had the camera ready. The first thing they did was put their first hand straight into the food and make a funny face. Although they have eaten many fingers foods before they didn't seem to know what to do. The main thing seemed to be the wetness of the peaches. H2 could barely stand it! Once they finally figured out what to do they were eating machines.

Happy First Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was very special. I had my girls and a house full of female relatives to celebrate with. We had an amazing brunch and a whole lot of fun. All the kids were having a ball playing with each other. H1 and H2 really enjoy having other babies around and Layci perfectly fit the bill. H1 and Lay seem to be a little more buddy-buddy than her and H2 but then they switched off. It almost makes me wonder if Lay realized she was playing with two different people. They did all sorts of playing until it was everyone's lunch then nap time.

H1 playing with a front end loader (her Daddy is so proud!) and H2 waving!

Look at all the good playing we did with Lay. Sharing a book to read, playing with the tractor, trying to jump rope and then doing a little mischief in PJ's car seat!
