Changes

Addison was such a champion sleeper. Yes, I said WAS.....it used to be that once we put her in her crib and laid her magic blanket on her, she would pop her thumb in her mouth and be knocked out. Well, not this week. She's been so fussy and such a drooler!!! Yesterday I changed her onesie right before we went to the gym because it was soaked with drool and when we picked her up from childcare, her "new" onesie was completely soaked!!
Maybe she's getting teeth, maybe she's getting more constipated. Eric had to use a babylax on her last night....hard, hard poop nuggets came out....she didn't cry, but she was able to eat after that.
She grunts all day long. It's like we have a bear in the carseat when we go places. I had to turn down the radio to listen to her last night...it made Eric and me giggle.
Eric took her to the doctor on Tuesday because she has this rash-type-thing on her eyelids. Dr. R. said it's probably dermititis, but he doesn't want to treat it because it's too close to her eye. It doesn't seem to be bothering her, so we'll just keep watching it.

Jackson is into screaming! I think he just likes the sound of his own voice. And he loves to be held by mommy (cuz daddy believes in tough love) and when I put him down, he just whines. So, of course, I think I'm doing something wrong...am I doing something wrong? Have I held him too much? Am I spoiling him?
I can't change him on the changing table anymore because he flips over so fast and I can't get the diaper on him fast enough...and he thinks it's a game so he smiles and giglles at mommy's frustration. I just don't have the patience for it. I usually start and then I yell for Eric to come help me.

We can't get them to eat any vegetables. We've tried green beens, carrots and sweet potatoes. No go. They like mangos, applesauce, bananas and prunes with apples. If we start them with fruit, they won't even eat the oatmeal. It's tough trying to figure it all out.
We have their Halloween costumes....Addison will be an angel and Jackson will be a lion. I think Eric and I are way more excited about it than they are. But, I must say that Halloween is fast falling out of favor as my favorite holiday since I can't eat any candy....how cruel! Good thing we have the twins as a distraction!

This is Eric's second week as a full-time, stay-at-home daddy. He seems to be holding up well.....keep your fingers crossed!!!
