Life Made a Little Easier

My life was made a little easier today...I just got these bottle labels in the mail from Inchbug! The one thing I have learned so far from having twins is that I can easily mix their things up. It is generally ok if it is just a blanket or burp cloth, but when I can't remember which bottle belongs to which child or who had which pacifier then it becomes a huge germy mess. It was becoming such a headache trying to keep their stuff straight (and yes I have given the wrong bottle to the wrong child...not good when they are on different formulas) so I am so glad we now have labels. I also like that that I went with different colors for each so when the boys get older, and recognize colors before their names, they will be able to know which bottle/sippy cup is theirs. They are great for church, babysitters, or anywhere else the boys have to go. Another great label site that I really like that my friend Shana told me about is Stuck On You. They have super cute labels you can use for just about anything...bottles, clothes, books, lunch boxes, etc...I almost got labels from there but went with the Inchbug ones instead. They also have fun personalized growth charts which I'm going to get when the boys get a little older and we start measuring their height.

And why bottle labels are so good in our house...

What it often looks like after a diaper change and both hungry boys are waiting for their food...we have no time in our house to get bottles confused.

Another development over the last week is that the boys have taken to different pacifiers. I tried them out one day after being frustrated that Ethan couldn't keep the Soothie one in his mouth for very long. Let me just say it is WONDERFUL now. They are smaller and Ethan can hold onto it SO MUCH BETTER...I think he is quite proud of himself. Plus an added bonus is I had these ones with their names on them...PERFECT...no more mixing up of pacifiers. Now they can stay clipped to the boys (something I couldn't do with the Soothies) and the dogs can't steal them and eat them...a favorite of all four. The pacifiers are from Personalized Pacifiers.

This picture has nothing to do with the post, I just think it is so cute of Evan after he had fallen asleep last night on Jeff...had to share with everyone his cuteness.
