new things.

this past week we started cloth diapers with the girls. we started a lot earlier than this with cole but the girls are so small that i needed to wait a lite longer in order for the diapers to fit them! i love my teeny girls!  how cute are they???  and yes, i am aware that elise (on the right) is wearing her diaper up to her nipples.  that's our lil' bit!

and today we started them on solids! (which is always a relative term when talking about baby food!) elise did really well and kept more food in her mouth than her sister. clara had a harder time keeping the food in which made her mad! she obviously really liked the taste of the oatmeal cereal and was wanting to eat more but it kept coming back out and then she would cry.  and we would laugh (bad parents, i know!)
hopefully tomorrow will go a little better.
i can't believe that we are already a the solids stage. i mean, i already nurse the girls 6 or 7 times a day and now adding solids will make 8 feedings a day on most days, and that is just for the girls.
that is a lot of time feeding babies.  
i must admit that i truly have been dreading this next phase of introducing baby food.  it is not bad when the kids eat what you eat, but when they have to eat baby food and their meal times do not coincide with ours, it is another things to schedule in the day.  isn't that so selfish?  me, complaining about feeding my children?  
don't worry friends, i will get over it and i will make them yummy, nutritious food myself just like i made cole's baby food, i promise.  i just need to complain a little, mkay?  
thanks!
here are my beauties testing out food.  
elise loving cereal!
clara liked to help hold the spoon.
