And they're off!

So now that the girls are a little bigger and moving around a lot more, we finally get to enjoy the best part about having twins: pitting them against each other in feats of strength and speed. Typically, contests end with one or both girls getting distracted by a toy and/or stopping and reversing direction. But when one of the events results in a winner - that baby gets apple puffs and cheese for dinner and the other baby eats yucky squash or something. It's all about getting them ready for that harsh world out there. And to all of those other new parents out there that read our blog, Hailey and Riley have three words for you: Bring it on!

Ok, so we don't really train our babies to compete against each other and fellow infants, but if we did this is what a training session would look like:

If the girls ever do become athletes, I have a feeling it will be in gymnastics. They both love to be upside down. Often they won't let us keep them upright, they just dive backwards so they can be upside down. I'm not sure how all the blood doesn't rush to their heads!
