What we take to the Beach

Hello my wonderful readers! I hope your summers are wrapping up wonderfully. We kind of ended our summer with a trip the lake. I thought I would share what we brought with us with 3 kids under 3. I tried to pack as minimal as I could because it's hard to take 3 kids and a whole bunch of stuff from a car to the beach. I used 2 of my Ju-Ju-Be Super Be bags. 

 What I packed in the first Super Be was: 2 burp cloths, hats for all, formula for babies and bottles were thrown in later in a fuel cell, sunscreen, cover up for P and swim diaper for P, sandals for P, 2 receiving blankets, large wet bag, plenty of wipes, toys for all in a quick, diapers for all in a quick, baby powder, tissues, chap stick, glasses wipes, first aid kit, comb, insurance cards in a coin purse and the Kindle for P to watch a movie on the way there. 

 This first bag is in Cobalt blossoms. The second one below is the Admiral print, one of my favorites. 

 In the second Super Be I packed my water bottle, the tent, 5 towels, and Penelope's puddle jumper. 

I got a $1 mesh laundry bag at the dollar store with some beach toys. We put the two bumbo chairs and the sand toys in the mesh bag so they could be shook out easy after we were done. We also took our picnic basket with lunch and snacks and lots and lots of water for everyone. 

I thought I did really well not over packing we only had to make two trips to get everything and everyone to the beach. Lots of love. 

Month 8 with Twins

Hello my wonderful readers. The twins are 8 months old if you can believe that! We spent their 8 month birthday a the lake having so much fun. 

Diaper size: both are in their cloth diapers 95% of the time still on the first rise setting, both are still fitting in size 2 disposables but size 3 overnight diapers. 

Clothing size: Andrew is in size 6 month and 6-9 month clothes, Juliet is in a few 3-6 month clothes but mostly 6 month clothes.

Sleeping: They are both sleeping through the night in their cribs in the other room. We have NO kids in our room!!

Feeding: Andrew is eating 5oz every 2 hours, Juliet is eating 4 oz of formula every 2 hours, both eat 7oz before bed, both are eating purees for breakfast and dinner now. We did try puffs for the first time and Juliet wasn't too keen on it but Andrew liked them. 

Routine: We are on the same routine, getting better at it each day.

Firsts: First State Fair and First trip to the Lake (future post)

Movements: Both can sit for a good amount of time if put in the sitting position, Juliet can pull herself up into the sitting position just about, both are pulling up on things to their knees and sometimes to standing very wobbly. 

I cannot believe how fast these 8 months went by! Four more months until we hit a year, I better get going on a birthday party! Lots of Love to you and yours.
