Bumbos, Swaddles, & Solids

We just keep changing things around here and there have been a lot of changes just this week.  The babies are growing and getting stronger every day.  Now they can sit in their Bumbos!  Yes, we are still using our Bumbos despite the recall.  Bumbos are great as long as you use them with some common sense. They love to sit up and look around.

We no longer have to swaddle the babies before they go down for nap or bedtime.  We have swaddled them since day one.  They sleep so good when they are swaddled.  At first, we used blankets and when they got too big and strong for regular blankets we used the SwaddleMe blankets with velcro closures.  The velcro made it harder for them to bust out. They were getting too big for the SwaddleMe blankets so I worked them out of them by first only swaddling one arm, then swaddling them with both arms out, and then we moved to the zip up sleeper blankets at night.  I am so glad because it cuts down on my laundry and I don't have to swaddle babies 15-20+ times a day.

We started solids.  For now, we are only eating rice cereal.  They definitely aren't crazy about it, but who would be happy about eating bland rice cereal.  I can't wait to start adding in more foods.  I plan to make baby food for the boys because buying baby food for three would be quite costly. More to come on that later.
