I'm adopting a dog or an African child

Late night TV is crazy.  It plays on peoples' venerability when they are tired.  The big, sad puppy dog eyes keep looking at me while tear jerking music is playing.  "Just change the channel," you may say.  That's difficult to do while feeding a bottle to an apparently starving baby.  I often find myself trying to feed while looking away.  Otherwise, it will be a trip to the pound in the morning.  If it's not a dog, it's starving children in Africa.  Good thing my wallet is across the room, or I'd be shelling out 50 cents a day...and I'd sign up every night!

Today was our last solo day for a while.  David will be home for the next two weeks, and we are all thrilled.  We all missed him this week and are excited to have an extra set of hands and company over the Christmas break.  

I tried something new today - just hanging with the babies and not trying to complete projects during nap time.  I did get the basics finished like laundry and cleaning bottles, but I put cookie making and big projects on hold.  It made for a much more relaxing day.  Here's a picture of Max helping me with the laundry.

Everyone got baths - then proceeded to have 4 outfit changes.  I don't know what I did differently today, but my diapering skills sucked.  I have a lot of laundry to do before tomorrow or everyone will just be in diapers.

Baby girl has turned in to quite the chow hound.  She had been eating 80 mL of milk each feeding - now she's up to 120!  I'm not sure what changed.  Perhaps a growth spurt.  

We changed to Gerber Good Starts "Soothe".  I'm not sure if it's working or not.  Both kids have the stinkiest gas ever.  The dog loves that she doesn't have to take the blame any more.  It may be me, but I think they are sleeping a bit better.  As I write - both babies are asleep in their pack and play - something that doesn't happen often.

Ok, I'm off to try and catch a nap.
