Update: Venturing Out in the Cold and Clean Feeding

WELL, Snowmageddon was a bust (so far this year, but if we revert to the mean we'll have some monster late season snowstorms yet). However, the kids needed to get dressed for the cold to venture out to the pediatrician, so of course the New Family parents over dressed them (it was a calm 28 degrees and they were moved from a heated house to a heated car to a heated doctor's office and back again).

Ready to keep 'em warm.
Dad has learned how to feed the Twins such that he and they create a minimum of a mess. To you experienced parents, his "discovery" will sound amateurish, but he was really excited to figure it out.

Barely there. Can you see the green veg on her face?
The "secret" is simply to offer only the quantity of food their little mouths can hold. It is about half a baby spoon sized spoonful. Also, Mom pointed out that adding oats to the otherwise thin pureed food thickens it and also helps reduce the mess.

Update: EJ finished his fruit and wanted his picture included in the post.
