Milestone


Here is one of the last pictures of the girls drinking from bottles -- as well as being a cute picture of them holding hands!


This week, we switched from bottles to sippy cups. The girls had been getting "juice" (25% juice, 75% water) in sippy cups for some time now, but were still getting all of their milk in bottles. I decided to go the "cold turkey" route and one day earlier this week put all of their milk in sippy cups.

So far so good.

What a relief to their mom who is just a little bit tired of hand-washing the countless bottles they have gone through over the past 15 months. (Yes, I know that baby bottles can go in the dishwasher. I am just too particular about making sure they are clean to use this method. LOL) And the timing was definitely right as they had decided it was great fun to turn the bottles upside down and watch the milk drip out and make puddles on their highchair trays.

Please note: I am keeping this blog open to the public. Because of this, I am taking certain measures in order to protect my family's privacy. I will refer to the girls by their first initials, "L" and "A". Also, I will not discuss where we live -- perhaps the state, but nothing more specific. I ask that anyone posting a comment that knows us to please do the same. Thank you!

Hey all.

Many of you followed us along on our pregnancy journey through my "Two Peas in a Pod" blog. After the twins (safe -- thank goodness!) arrival, I found it very difficult to keep up with a blog and therefore let it go.

Well, it's hard to believe it but the twins' first year is already behind us. It was a crazy, and yet wonderful, time.

Since so many of our friends and family live far away, I decided to start another blog so that you all could keep up with the latest on our girls.

Hopefully there will be lots of stories and pictures to share!
