Baby Duty

Today I was on baby duty with Kayden and Eli. I have to say they had a good day. With each day that I watch them it seems to get a little bit easier. They are starting to establish a routine and that makes me happy! I actually got them both to take their two naps at the same time. Unfortunately the naps didn’t last too long. One baby always woke up a little too early. Fortunately we have the bob stroller in the house and that seems to be the napping preference for both babies! The afternoon nap- my guarantee 2 hour sanity check- ended a little early when Eli realized he really didn’t want to be napping on the strange bed. I rocked him and then thought I’d try putting him in the bob (it has been a known success in previous baby duties). I rocked him back and forth maybe 5 times before he fell asleep. I wheeled him down the hallway and he slept for the next hour. That was right about the time Kayden woke up! With the staggering naps I only got 30 minutes of joint baby napping, but I did get to spend some good quality one-on-one time with both babes as their naps seemed to separate! Here are a few shots of our day today:

Eli was the first to go down for the morning nap

We just needed to get out for a stroll around the complex. Eli is in the Bjorn because he weighs a little less than Kayden- easier on my back!

Play time after lunch!
