Thanksgiving

Yowza, eight babies! We had some twins and their moms over for a playdate.

Dominic was feeling inadequate about always dressing our twins in PJs
so he got Milo a track suit to prove that we are good parents.

Luca looks so much older in the photo because of the shadows that fill in his hair.
He looks like a 3 year old and for some reason this makes my heart sad.

Surviving Solids

Boy, has it been a long, ten days since we last blogged. The babies have been on a diarrhea-rash roller coaster. Their digestive systems just couldn’t handle their first taste of avocado. On top of their diarrhea, they had awful, painful diaper rash. Poor things had many tearful diaper changes (very painful to witness). We tried everything under the sun: Butt Paste, Huggies, Pampers, Earth’s Best, Triple Cream and drying with a hair dryer.  Instead of just changing them once after their meal, we’ve been changing them before and after the meals (sometimes 3x). It makes for a very long day (just ask Dominic).

Below are some sweet moments in between all the diaper changing.

Solid

Our little angels had solid food for the first time on Saturday. It was very exciting to see the twins enter a new phase in their young lives. Can you imagine being a baby and having your first taste of avocado?!? Here’s what that looks like. Luca has two bottom teeth breaking through his gums. So cute!

Halloween

Dominic brought the twins to my office on Friday. Every year, Wieden + Kennedy puts on a great family-friendly Halloween party (includes inflatable castle, miniature pony rides, petting zoo, etc.). It was a mad scene—audio and visual overload. Children screaming and squealing in every quadrant. Milo and Luca were dressed as a penguin and giraffe.

On Halloween, we had three trick-or-treaters! Three! It was a pathetic showing. Do you know where all the children went? LLOYD CENTER MALL! It was disgusting. I went there at 5p.m. without a clue of the mayhem. Who takes their kids to the mall to trick-or-treat? These kids are missing out on the best part of running in the dark from house to house asking their neighbors for candy. I thought it was sad. Our kids will never trick-or-treat in a stinking mall.
