starting solids with twins, baby led weaning and purees

Identical Twins Birth Story

September 21, 2020      9 Comments

Twin Newborns

Did you have a birth plan when you were pregnant? I didn't have a formal one for my twin birth but I definitely had specific things in my head that I wanted to happen (skin on skin immediately, breast feeding, etc.). I filled out a sheet at my OB's office about my birth wishes and we talked about it ...

Having twins in Pre-K this year has brought on a l Having twins in Pre-K this year has brought on a lot of new experiences. The girls are branching out and becoming more independent, playing with and making different friends while being in the same class, learning lots of new things, etc. 

Starting school was always met with the question “should they be in the same class?” It’s a question we thought about a lot and sought out opinions from family, friends and other twin parents. We ultimately decided that since it’s Pre-K and only a couple of hours…the same class would obviously be much more conducive to our schedules (esp being a single vehicle family). I wondered if they would get along, lean on each other too much, etc. Ultimately it was the right choice because they are thriving and their teacher says they connect briefly in class, but overall do their own thing.

I’m not sure what we will do next school year for Kindergarten. I’ll occasionally ask them how they feel about it and they always say they want to stay together - which is so funny because they bicker a LOT at home. 😄 Their teacher gasped when I told her that because they are angels at school, of course lol. 

Twin moms, what did you do when your twins started school?

Honestly thought, God bless this boy. 🥰 Henry Honestly thought, God bless this boy. 🥰

Henry is just about 16 months and is such a little man. He is walking and pretty much running, climbing, saying some words like mama, dada, done, book and lots of “B” words. He is not as enthusiastic about baby sign yet but he’s got “all done” down. He *loves* to watch the squirrels outside and squeals with joy every time they come to eat the bird food. We finally got rid of all but one bottle at bedtime because he was too comfortable and not eating enough real food lol. Mom and dad were comfortable with it too until we found out he was a little anemic. Oops! Now he’s eating a ton and there are no worries (still in that 94th percentile lol). I’m still pumping because this boy does love his milk. He’s gotten really good at drinking out of his regular and straw cups instead of bottles and we’ve moved onto cold milk. He’s very into throwing…everything. He is so strong it’s unbelievable sometimes. Raising a boy compared to the girls is SO different it blows my mind most days. I’ve found that every milestone so far has been a little bit behind when the girls hit them, like I’m pretty sure they were signing and talking a little more! I don’t like to compare them for any reason other than it’s just interesting! Babies are all so different and we are so comfortable just letting Henry be Henry. 🥰 He’s the best little dude!

During the cold winter months we get a little stir During the cold winter months we get a little stir crazy and it’s so helpful to have active things for the kids to do. These wooden play structures from @lilyandriver get used everyday in our playroom! The girls rearrange them into a million different possibilities and they have held up so well with all the rough-housing. 😁 Having open-ended toys is great for their creativity too!

Our latest addition is the Little Rocker and it’s a huge hit - they love pretending it’s a pirate ship! Use my code MILLER10 for a discount!

I have to share the most incredible coat I receive I have to share the most incredible coat I received this winter from the best sustainable brand, @aliciaadamsalpaca ! It is *stunning* to say the least. It’s extremely soft and warm while also lightweight so it doesn’t feel bulky. Plus it’s super flattering - I’ll be wearing it all winter here in the Northeast!

It’s a 12/10, highly recommend! Use code CHRISTINA20 for 20% off!

I’ve been focusing on family time and getting things done around the house lately. We’ve had a few hiccups already this year lol but all is well and we are dealing with everything!

I made time to write down my goals for the year and really plan how I want life to look by the end of 2023. No one resolution but lots of small things I want to accomplish.

I still feel like I’m unofficially on winter break social media wise but hopefully I get some motivation and inspiration this week. 🙂

#ad It’s the New Year and I’m ready for a fres #ad It’s the New Year and I’m ready for a fresh start with a fresh and healthy meal! The girls and I are making a delicious stuffed peppers dish using @pinelandfarmsnaturalmeats ground beef. 

Pineland Farms Natural Meats are our go-to at Hannaford. They raise their animals with no antibiotics or added growth hormones, which is important to my family. We trust that Pineland Farms Natural Meats has the highest-quality products that are always delicious. Plus, their animals are born, raised and harvested in the US!

Stuffed peppers are a great way to add in a variety of vegetables to your meal. Our mix has carrots, onions, peppers, eggplant, rice, kidney beans, homemade taco seasoning and of course Pineland Farms ground beef. Add this to your pepper shells, top with sprinkle cheese and bake at 350 for 45 minutes! It’s super easy and super delicious!
