The "joy" of having two babies...

Okay, so I love almost everything about having two babies, but what I really don't like is that they bite each other. Hard. How in the heck do you punish a 10 month old? We're using the stern "no" and removing the biter away from the bitten. But what else can we do at this age? Luckily, it hasn't been a daily occurrence. In fact, it hadn't happened for a while. But today, the biter struck twice - once on a leg and several hours later on an arm. And speaking of the teeth that inflict pain, our total tooth count is standing at 12 and has been for a while. Alivia has 8 (4 top, 4 bottom) while Adalyn only has 4 (2 top, 2 bottom).

In better news, Adalyn is *this close* to walking. One of these days she's just going to take off. She just needs to gain a little more confidence in herself. And Alivia is now standing without support for brief periods of time. I'm in no hurry to have two walkers, but it looks like we're headed in that direction. Look out world!! As if my living room hasn't been rearranged enough!

I forgot to ever mention that we moved the girls into convertible car seats over a month ago now. They absolutely love being able to sit more upright because their view is better. So they're now in the Evenflo Triumph Advance LX. I'll have to get a picture of the girls in them, but here is the exact model that we purchased.

You remind me that I need to go carseat shopping very soon!! Luckily, we havne't had the biting with the boys, but Aaron loves to smack Brayden on the head over & over.
