I am learning different ways of handling two hungry babies at once when I'm on duty solo:1. Two reclining highchairs
2. Two Boppy pillows in their crib or on the floor
3. Double stroller (reclining side-by-side model)
4. Both propped up on a sofa pillow
5. Feed one baby while the other one screams like someone's sticking a pin in it, focus all of my mental energy on willing the first to finish faster so I can get a bottle into the other one's mouth before one of our heads explode.
It does get a bit tricky when one needs to be moved or have its chin wiped or something, but tonight I did manage to burp Kathryn while James was still sucking away. It helps that she often burps with no more help than a change of position.
On the fun side, James has started smiling a bunch of times in a day. Hard to tell if he's smiling at us or just at random, but it's still wonderful to see and melts my heart every time.

See you Sunday!
Important thing to remember with babies -- if they cry for a few minutes, they *will not die*. :)
Handy to remember if you absolutely have to take a break to catch your breath before diving back into fulfilling their every need... I can only imagine with two!
