A step in the right direction

I've decided that I was meant to do this, be a mother that is. And that I need to express how proud I am of that more often. A friend of mine stopped by today and made a comment that "for having two, I keep things well maintained." I can't count how many times I've heard variations of this topic- how hard it must be to have twins. But I can honestly say it doesn't feel any harder than it must be for a mother with one child. So what if having twins means my life is consumed more with schedules than it is being carefree. Our life is filled with love and laughter and I'm sure that is what is the most important.

Now that Summer and Autumn are 9 months we have been exploring lots of different foods! I've been trying to remember to capture these adventures since it's amazing to see an infant develop before your eyes. Almost over night they have gone from screaming in frustration at new textures and tastes, to sheer delight at what the food of the day will be! (Today's new food was boring- oatmeal for breakfast, rice for dinner.) But I will say that my dad would be so proud of my little carnivores. It's awfully cute to see their tiny little mouths chomp down on steak and chicken like it was the best thing that ever happened to them. They have also been very interested in grabbing at my cup so today I let them drink from my glass of water. Well, they enjoyed it so much there was a complete meltdown when I wouldn't let them hold it themselves! Ay these girls are going to give me a run for my money!

So. After my sweet Autumn fell asleep on my chest rather than crying in her bed like the past few nights, I was running through my crafting ideas and decided I should document all the fun things my little family does!
Enjoy =)
