Frigid in the Southland

Every day we seem to be trying something different to combat this new fussiness the twins are experiencing.  It's definitely the worst around dinner time, but going to sleep in general has become a huge issue.  They used to finish their bottles and drift off in a milk coma.  Now it's an hour of crying, holding, rocking, coaxing before they fall in to a light and often interrupted sleep.

One suggestion was an evening walk.   I'm not sure if it's meant more for the parents so we get a little break - or for the babies.  The problem is, we have not been experiencing true SoCal weather.  Between the rain, hail. and cold, getting a walk in has been tough.  

This evening it was in the 40's but we decided to brave it anyways.  Thanks to beautiful quilts from Randy (my sister-in-law's mother) and our afghans from great grandma Stratter, everyone was bundled up.  

 We love our quilts!  Thanks Randy.

I don't think the walk worked - other than getting the dog out for some exercise, but it was worth a try.  I don't know what's going on with the babies right now, but it is definitely trying our patience.  Lots of crying for no apparent reason, restlessness and general angst.  - I'm talking about me, not the babies!  ahahahahah.  Hopefully it's just a phase.
