Updated: I Do it Myself Mommy!

THE words that break every Mom's heart (but makes Dad feel glad).

EJ holds his own bottle.

This comes as a surprise to Dad since EJ has always been content to lay back, limbs completely relaxed, and be fed while conserving energy. Liesel has always been feisty, the one to "direct" the bottle, like a control freak, micromanaging every aspect of her feeding. She likes to hold her hands up to "help" with feeding. Dad thought she would be first to hold her own bottle.

Oh well, to borrow a phrase from a friend and twin mother, "He did it first. She did it right."

Update: Not to be outdone, just this morning (at 5:30 a.m. no one told these kids about daylight savings time) Liesel held her own, full, bottle while feeding for about a minute.
