The photos below are what every meal looks like in our house. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I need to either find a few full-body bibs or start having naked mealtime. I wish I could tell you how Oliver manages to get carrots in his eyelashes, or how Violet is able to use prunes as a pomade, but it all happens so quickly that it's a blur.
Ben started his new job this week, so the babes and I have been on our own for a few long days. We've actually done really, really well. We gotten out every day and they've been very happy. The end of the day is the toughest, since the three of us are all tired. Tonight will be the first time I have to bathe and put the twins down alone...yikes!
In this final month of their first year (sniff!), I thought I'd write out some of their favorite and least favorite things. I realized I've been using this almost as a journal of the babies' days, and that this would be a good thing to remember. So, here goes:
Oliver
likes:
jumping
wheels
anything that makes noise when he shakes it
biting (esp mommy or his sister)
Mr. Noodle from Sesame Street
his pacifiers
watermelon
the book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!"
his new wagon
the dishwasher
when Daddy laughs like Ernie
the guitar
dislikes:
getting his diaper changed (or any other activity which requires holding still)
water in his eyes/getting his hair washed
the blender
Simon and Garfunkle (especially "Still Crazy after all these Years")
Violet
likes:
animals (especially dogs!)
strings, shoelaces and ties
hugs
Teletubbies (groan...)
bubbles
magazines or newspapers (preferably in small pieces in her mouth)
