For months, the twins have happily gone to sleep at their bedtime. The routine starts at 5:30pm with a solid food feeding, then they get a bath, and then a bottle. They usually fall asleep while drinking the bottle, and if not then they are very drowsy when I put them in their cribs. In either case, once in the cribs they immediately roll over, snuggle their blankets, and pass out.
During the last few weeks their behavior has changed. Sometimes they still fall asleep during the bottle feeding, but they wake up once in the crib and want to continue playing. So, we keep going in to the room every few minutes and feed them more milk. Eventually they fall asleep. Carter is more of a menace than Olivia on this, mostly because he's started crawling (yes, crawling but that's for another post).
Here are some pics of them not falling asleep. Dad's coworker's wife Paula made these Winnie the Pooh blankets for us and the twins sleep (or not sleep - ha!) with them often. They are soft and wonderful!
