First of all, Matthew's little friend Kate and her mom Andrea came over bright and early for the mommies to undertake a babyfood-making adventure! (or Hell's kitchen as Andrea called it!)
It was quite the adventure, alright! About every 5 minutes, one or more of the babies would want attention so one of us was always running over to the living room. Then, they both needed naps so we tried putting them both down in Matthew's room - Kate in the playpen and Matthew in his crib. It worked for a 1/2 hour or so but Kate woke up and then Matthew woke up, and that was the end of the naps! By then it was 11:00 and Matthew was hungry again... so, take a break and have a snack.
Oh, did I mention that inbetween, everytime we put the food processor on, the babies started crying? Yeah, tons of fun!
Actually, it wasn't that bad. For 3 solid hours of work, we have a freezer full of sweet potatoes, butternut squash, carrots and apples. It's a good start anyways.
Next time though.... we're doing this on a Saturday and the husbands are taking the kids.

Yesterday, Matthew also decided that it was a great day to start rolling over, and over and over and over! I think he must have watched Kate do it at our house (because she is rolling over like crazy) and he wanted to do it to! Yesterday afternoon, every time I turned around, he was back on his tummy. Same thing in the crib. Give him 10 seconds and he's on his tummy.
The trouble is, he hasn't figured out how to get back to his back yet. And being on his tummy is only fun for so long. As I'm typing this, Matthew is supposed to be going down for his nap. I've gone in 9 times since I started this post to put him back on his back, because he rolls over and starts crying when he can't get back. Oh what fun! Luckily, I only had to rescue him once last night. I was afraid I'd might be going in over and over last night to flip him back!
Here's the cutie-patootie and all his friends: Susie, Puppy, Bear Bear and Snuggles.
