Feeding Time

As you can imagine, feeding twins at the same time can be challenging, to say the least. It's getting easier because the boys actually like to eat now. They also like to smear food all over their faces. Chase is especially messy. His arm is always wiping across his mouth to his hair across his eyebrows (aren't eyebrows fun to clean dried food out of?) and back to his mouth. My favorite is food up the nose-always a joy to clean for all parties involved. Owen tends to be a little cleaner. I'm not sure why, but am sure happy about it. Our routine involves me putting the boys in their seats with Puffs. They try to pick them up, which occupies their time while I get the food ready. I prepare the cereal, open up the fruit and veggie, take a seat on the stool in front of the boys and begin. If they are sick they each get their own bowl with their own spoon. If they are healthy they share everything! It's so much easier on me. I feed one a bit and while he swallows the other one gets a bite. It goes back and forth like this until all the food is gone, or one of the boys is yelling because he wants more faster than I'm giving it to him. In this case that baby gets several bites in a row. They are patient and like their food. Chase likes to get very messy.
Owen enjoyed his applesauce.
Another attempt at getting the food into the mouth failed. (notice the messy eyebrows!)
