Feeding the Boys

Micah getting Grandma

Carrots.

This is just to let you know that Andrew has a video of babies eating carrots. He also has administrative privileges to add things to the blog. Which means it's coming soon...

Miscellaneous

• Andrew commented this morning that the boys looked like, "little people" because I put pants and socks on them.
• I feel like I'm finally feeling like one imagines a new mom feels like- tired, hungry, too tired to eat, frumpy, in need of a shower, and overly fixated on tiny things like sorting baby clothes. It just took surgery and too many days at work in a row beforehand to get there.
• Andrew is experimenting with dairy products sans lactaid... so far, so good.
• Micah continues to be a very loud boy. Happy, but loud. Phin is starting to imitate his brother; bring on the ear plugs.
• Sanne starts her college class tomorrow- Introduction to Anthropology.
• I have scratches on my face because for some reason the boys like grabbing my lips when they get close enough. They have a grip of iron, and their baby claws are so SHARP.
• My mom is an awesome post-surgery nurse and babysitter. 
• Having four other new-baby couples at church is awesome- we just got a huge bag of hand-me-down^2 from Chris and Mina.
• Presuming the purchase of tiny spoons today, we'll start rice cereal tonight!
• I'm really glad we were able to supplement while I came off my surgery drugs, but now I feel like I lost some sort of personal contest with myself in feeding them 100% myself. Sigh.
• I love my boys, I love [and we need] my job, and Sanne is awesome, but gosh sometimes I just wish I could stay home. It's a perfect situation we're in, but I have such a teeny tiny margin of error.
• Probably sound a bit melancholy to you, but it's nothing that some extra sleep and a fun labor day weekend at the cottage won't fix! 

Babies everywhere

Remember this?

And then there's this.
