Bean’s favorite thing when he was between six months and a year old was the infant Tylenol bottle. He chewed on that rubber stopper like a crazy man. He liked it so much, in fact, that we started saving the empty bottles and filling them with rice so that he could chew AND shake them.

He also like prescription bottles. I used to joke that he was going to grow up to be either a pharmacist or a drug dealer

Having two babies is sometimes overwhelming. It’s twice the needs to meet, twice the attention to give, twice the time commitment, twice the energy. But it also means that we get to experience all the fun and sweetness and excitement of babies twice, too.

Good Lord, do I love those babies.
