Will she ever leave me alone?
I thought every one would enjoy watching the twins in action. Ellie does pick on Eli a little bit. This video was take on October 5, 2010, since then Eli has learned to fight back a little bit. Now I find Ellie with wet hair because Eli cornered her to give her kisses. I am forever trying to get it on video but can never seem to find the camera fast enough! Not long now and they will be 1!
On a very cool note I found out another friend and neighbor is also having twins! Yay, for twins! It was quite a shock for them as she is also already 21 weeks along and just found out it is twins. God certainly has built a support system for me and those other moms of multiples in the area. Now we all just have to get together and show off our superior baby making skills! It certainly is a great and precious gift to be given two children at the same time. GOD IS GOOD!

11 months old
Ellie is still my go, go, go kid and Eli is more relaxed and easy going. Both babies are still very happy although they both have a cold right now so they are mildly in discomfort as we all expierence during a cold. Both are sleeping pretty good at night FINALLY! I am not used to babies that don't sleep. The older 3 were all sleeping through the night by the time they were 2 months old. For me it has been a long time since I had a full, uninterrupted night of sleep. If the twins aren't waking up one of the others has a bad dream. I will one day think back on these sleep habits and wonder why I CAN'T wake my sleeping teenager. Right now though I will wallow in my sleeplessness.

SmartyPants Review and Giveaway
Recently I was sent a bottle of SMARTYPANTS children's vitamins to try out with my children from EcoMom. EcoMom is a great online store that carries Eco-Friendly products for Mom and Baby to products for a healthy home.
Not only did they provide me with a product to review they are also offering my readers a 15% discount on their order by using this discount code SBBL595. This code is valid until October 31, 2010. So you have a month to look through the store and decide what to buy!
EcoMom has now developed a new program called EcoPass too. This program has a $99 annual fee that will get you free shipping on all orders big or small as well as an additional 15% off every order big or small! The program could be paid for in as little as 4 orders.
So now I am sure you are wondering, "But, what about the vitamins?" Well, I can tell you that my children love them! The 3 children that are old enough to take these vitamins love them. They like them so much that I can sneakily bypass the treat after dinner by giving them the vitamins after they finish their supper. Now I don't tell them they are their treat, they simple just don't ask for one. (Sneaky mom trick #89) I do like that the Omega 3's are included so they don't have to take another supplement to get the "big 3's."
I think they say it best though. Here are a few excerpts from the EcoMom website.
"Made in California, SmartyPants use only the best ingredients, are GMP-certified & FDA-compliant, and tested for purity by an independent lab.
SmartyPants gives their multi-vitamin to their own kids as a testament to how safe and awesome they really are!
SmartyPants Gummies only have 5g of Organic cane sugar per serving (that is 80% LESS sugar than in a glass of unsweetened apple juice). SmartyPants are made with only natural colors and flavors and no High Fructose Corn Syrup. They are also gluten- and casein-free. They never use any fake or artificial flavors, sweeteners, or dyes that are bad for your kids! Their Omega 3 DHA and EPA fish oil comes from eco-friendly sustainable small fish sources. No unsustainable tuna or contaminated fish!"

The only thing that I didn't really like is that they contain sugar. Over all I was pretty impressed with SMARTYPANTS Vitamins.
