In 10 days they're gonna start eating a third meal every day, and then they are supposed to drink water in addition to eating their meals. So today I put a sippy cup into Tammy's hands for the first time. I guess it will take some practice for them to use it. She was just chewing around on it.

Sometimes you just have a blah day. It doesn't happen often, but today was one of those days for me. There's not much to write; we did the same things we do every day. Tammy has had a diaper rash for longer than usual, and we're taking extra care to help her get over it.

Happy 8-month birthday! Time flies! Today the little ones had a day of awareness of their southern Mississippian heritage. They had sweet potatoes for lunch, and at dinner time Randy asked Alexa to play southern blues. Emmy gets fussy really fast when you feed him. Often Randy has kids songs playing, but with the blues music, Emmy was calm and even started beating the wood to the beat!
