New Foods

The babies are now 7 months old but still kind of only 5 months old. The doctors wanted us to try rice cereal with them to help with their reflux (not to help them gain any weight...the chunky boys don't need help in that dept. any more). Emren loves the stuff but Elijah still isn't too interested. Anyway, I guess Ethan figured since Emren enjoys eating cereal so much he needed to try new things.

Ethan was eating his dessert last night while I had the boys on the floor near him getting their pj's on. I ran to go to the bathroom really quickly and came back out to Emren crying and Ethan running through the kitchen with his spoon in his hand. I get over to Emren and his face is covered in chocolate pudding. He's half choking because who knows how much of it Ethan tried sticking down his throat. I imediately get Emren situated and cleaned up while I yell at Ethan about how dangerous it is to give babies big boy food. Ethan starts to cry and my heart just broke. I realized he just wanted to share his "yummy chocolates" with brother. How sad it was, I'm sure, to do something nice and kind (like share things that you enjoy) and then get yelled at for it. Poor baby...he's such a good big brother.

Sorry - no pics for this one. I was too panicked to think about capturing the moment on camera.
