Chronicles of a Twin Mom: 7 Months 9-27-11

Rice Cereal :
Dax man loves the rice cereal and loves to grab the spoon and feed himself. He also gets mad and screams because he wants more. He likes the constant flow like a bottle so when you are scooping up more he screams for more. The little guy has no problem telling you about it.

Miss Blake on the other hand really does not want anything to do with the rice cereal. She spits it out and makes an awful face. When I say spits it out I'm referring to her bubbles that we have encouraged. Well she does her bubbles and we are covered in rice cereal.

We started out in the bouncer chairs which ultimately were covered in rc so we tried their high chairs and again on this one they are still to little so I think we are going to head back to the bouncers and just wash the crusty stuff off. I must admit the rice cereal is a bit of a pain in the arse. It's messy, time consuming, and loud (Dax Man). Our goal is to get up to two servings plus veggies and fruits. I must admit I'm kind of going slow as I can't stand the mess it creates.

First Rice Cereal

Game day Blake and Dax:
Well mom and dad were very excited to leave the house for game day. Blake and Dax just knew something was up because they would not sleep all day and refused to take full bottles. It was almost like they had an ESP thing going knowing that we were going to leave. We were able to get a few pictures of the two of them in their game day outfits. Yes daddy did come home with a uniform for his little Blake. I must admit we now do our OU pom routine when in uniform, well I lied maybe we do it in uniform and regular clothes.

First Game Day

So mom got trapped into the Missoni for Target and got Little Miss Blake the cutest dress and leggings. I might just wrap it and put it under the tree for her. With that being said she is becoming quite the fashionista because when changing her clothes she has made it a game. She throws you the biggest smile when you put her in something new. Either that or she is just glad to be out of the spit up or back blasted clothes. I choose to believe it's fashion thing.

Dax man has found his feet! They go in his mouth and the flexibility is beyond me. Lets all hope he does not continue this position later in life.

Single Moms You Are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G:
So the weekend of the Florida State game pops received a freebie weekend and went to the game. I on the other hand had an epiphany that I'm one lucky momma to have dad's help. This was the absolute hardest 72 hours I've encountered to date. I was trying to pump, feed, change diapers, play, bathe, put to bed etc all by myself. By 6 on Sunday evening I needed a break so I went to the grocery store came home and was in bed by 8.

At last my child...
Everyone knows that I make a strange sound when my ears are itching. I've been told it sounds like a piglet or I get "what are you doing?" and my response...my ears itch. It's a swallowing sound that soothes my itching ears. To date we have decided that neither child looks like me. I carried them for 7 months, slept in a recliner, took some roids, had major back pain, waddled like a duck, stopped working out, and laid in a bed for 1 month. After all of this momma got some long fingers and toes out of these kids. Except and I'm proud to say Blake has started making my ear scratching noise. At last she's my child!!!

Green Peas are so yummy according to Dax; Blake is still not buying into this one. She seems to be interested in the rice cereal over the peas. So maybe she will decide in a bit that she likes them. Who knows.

This month flew by and these little ones light up our lives each day. This has been the hardest yet most rewarding job title we have ever had-MOM and DAD. Thank you for all of your kind words, thoughts and prayers.
