Food

My girls are up to three meals a day now. For breakfast they eat about a half cup of cereal and a few table spoons of fruit. For lunch they eat about a half cup of cereal, about a half cup of veggies and a couple tablespoons of fruit, I am beginning to add in some meat alternatives and usually reduce the amount of cereal by a little bit when I do. Supper is the same as lunch.

They seem pretty open to new foods. When I offer a new food I give it to them at least two meals in a row and by the second time they are usually eating it really well. Usually I wait at least a few days inbetween introducing new foods. Other than adding new foods I try to switch things up and give them a good variety every day.

I have been making my own food, it is really easy! I boil the veggies and then blend them up to a puree, I have jars and generally make at least two jars full at a time, I put one in the fridge and one in the freezer.

At the Airport

A friendly lady came up to us at the airport and admired our sweet girls in their twin stroller then said to us, "I was going to ask you what you do in your spare time but you would probably say, 'what's that?''

Lovely Wetbag

Today my beautiful huge new wet bag that I ordered arrived from Michelle at A Lovely Start. I am very excited to begin using it, it will hang on my change table. Lately I have run out of room in my pail before I run out of diapers so this is a nice addition to my cloth diapering paraphernalia.

I have also purchased a change pad from A Lovely Start and it is so soft and bright, I love it. If you are in the market for some beautiful handmade diapering items check out her site.
