teeth r' us

Just a quick update. We have a major biting issue in our house right now. I thought Peanut was past it, but it's (suddenly) worse than ever! Last night, while I was bathing them, they were having a spat about a few cups I put in with them. I gave them each one cup, but Oliver wanted BOTH. I turned my back for a few seconds, and the next thing I knew, I heard Oliver screaming. I turned back and Violet was latched on to his face with her TEETH. A horrifying sight. I screamed myself and then ran over to grab Ollie.

I really don't know what to do to fix this. He has two huge welts on his face (and she only has 6 teeth!), and today she's already bitten him twice on the leg. I try to get on it quickly and reprimand her with "No bite!" or "No mouth!", but more often than not, I have to comfort him first- he gets SO upset. I'm feeling awful though, and really would like to nip this in the bud before it gets completely out of hand. Any suggestions?

And, I apologize for no photos- I'm working on the camera situation. I have an AMAZING video of the babies kissing when I get it to upload.
