First Ponytail & Other Weekend Fun

So as you all have seen, the girls hair is out of control. I'm afraid to cut it in fear that it will look like the "Peppermint Patty" cut (as Rob calls it) that my mom gave me when I was little - kind of squared off bangs and boxy. So I'm experimenting with different clips, bows, barettes. And this weekend was our first attempt at a ponytail. Caroline was the only one that would sit still enough to allow me to do this, so you won't see Miss Olivia with one here as she was NOT having it.

hee hee.. she looks like a little sumo wrestler.
The girls donning their most appropriate
"Stop Copying Me" onesies.

And a video:
Another video daddy took:
And I had to get a picture of this - they are always sitting in this position. Doesn't it look like it hurts??

And Caroline giving a funny face


Oh yah! And after 10.5 months of making mom hold the bottles at EVERY feeding, they FINALLY agreed to hold it themselves.
(Doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but this a MAJOR feat in our house).

Sunday morning Rob made blueberry waffles so we gave the girls some for breakfast. You can't really tell from this picture just how blue their mouths and hands were after the damage was done.
I had to google "how to get blueberry stains off skin"
and then rubbed down our little smurfs with hydrogen peroxide.
