No Night-Nursing, Lucy + Carrots, Dallas' Half B-Day

Monday, April 12

Last night I didn't nurse the babies once. Dallas and I were up with both of them for about an hour though (from like 3 a.m. to 4 a.m). But that paid off when they didn't wake up til 7 a.m. and they woke up happy and playing. Here's a little video of what they were like when they woke up. 

Also, I would like to stick with not nursing them at night...but we'll see how long this lasts. Dallas and I were both dead tired today...

Lucy LOVES carrots. She could eat them all day. Especially if there is some ranch dressing to accompany them. 

I cut a bunch of carrots yesterday and stuck them in containers and Lucy helped herself today while I took forever getting lunch ready. I don't know exactly how many she ate...but it was A LOT.

This is now dinner time. The girlies got some pez from our neighbors for Easter and today they got to enjoy them after violin. Emma and Lucy ate theirs pretty quickly, but Alice ate hers nice and slowly. So of course, Lucy asked Alice if she could have some of hers because "I don't have any more." Alice was so sweet and shared with Lucy until Alice had no more. This is a picture of a very happy Lucy since she knows that Alice will share with her. :)

Here are some cute babies just playing with their toys and making space for more food in their tummies.

Usually they both have one foot up, but looks like you just get to see Mabel's foot today. Dallas and I joke that they love to eat everything with a "side of foot." Which is true - they'll often have a bite of their applesauce and then pop their little toe in their mouth. Haha. I don't know why they do it. It's messy but also pretty cute.

Here's a little video of the babies and Alice talking with me.

We were going to make fish for dinner but then I remembered Emma had soccer practice! So we ended up warming up some rice and eating the Costco lentils. Alice doesn't mind - this is her FAVORITE meal!

After the girlies were asleep, I went and picked up this kid locker/organizer thing from someone just 5 minutes away. I think it will be great - especially once we paint it. I don't know when that will happen...but I do think painting it would be a good idea. 

Oh! And it was Dallas' half b-day today! I wanted to do something special for him - but the day ran away and before I knew it, the day was over. We all wished him happy half birthday, but that's about it. We'll have to celebrate throughout the week... :)
