Goodbye 2008!

I cannot believe how incredibly fast this year has gone. It has been so much fun watching Kylee and Kaylyn grow and learn everyday. It definitely had it's challenging moments, but somehow we made it through! I feel like I have grown so much this past year as a person, as a mother and as a wife. I could not be happier with my wonderful family, and I am so thankful for all that life has given me. I am very excited to see what 2009 has in store for us!

Today we started practicing self feeding with spoons and bowls, and they both did Awesome!! I was so impressed! I expected it to be a huge mess with hardly anything actually making it to their mouths, but I was mistaken. I bought these cool bowls at babies R us that suction to their high chairs to keep them from throwing them on the floor. On the advice of other moms that have already been there, done that I started with yogurt because it's semi-sticky and easy for them to spoon up. Tomorrow morning we will venture with Rice cereal for breakfast and see how that goes.

So I thought I would try giving the girls sippy cups this morning in leau of their normal bottle, and the girls weren't having it. Kylee especially was not happy with this idea. She looked at the sippy cup, then looked at me and instantly started crying. So I made them a bottle and that fixed the problem. I guess they are not quite ready for that yet, so that is fine. I will keep encouraging the sippy cup until they are ready to transition completely.

I hope everyone has a Fun, Safe and Happy New Year!!
