Cause to Celebrate

It may not be commemorated with a national day off but in our household we will forever celebrate February 22nd as Sophia's last day in diapers! For those without kids it seems trivial but when faced with the prospect of diapering three small children, having one "quit" diapers merits a holiday!

Below is a pic of our recovering diaper addict taking her first stab at lipstick application.

Day in the Life of Newborn Twins

The last few days I've been tracking the boy's schedules in the hopes of matching them up on feeding and sleeping times in the upcoming weeks. Below is what was tracked for Alex. Max more or less follows the same schedule OR on really fun days deviates from it by an hour or more (which translates into constant feeding, diapering etc for me). Let the fun begin!
