Voting and/or survival of the fittest


First off, the babies and I walked down to our polling place on this chilly morning, as you can see, they are very bundled.  They seemed to enjoy the whole process.  There were several older ladies to fawn over them while I voted.  Plus, there was no line at all because our voting station has about 10 machines to vote on, I've never seen more than five of them in use at a time.  

After doing our democratic duty, we headed home for lunch.  Owen was fussy at first so he took a bottle while Olivia chowed down on some squash, which is her favorite.  After Owen finished his bottle, it was Olivia's bottle turn and Owen got some sweet potatoes, which are his favorite.  Owen started the solid food part of his lunch very slowly, mostly by blowing bubbles in his food and splattering it everywhere.  When Olivia was done with her bottle, I offered her some sweet potatoes because Owen was just playing with his.  At this point a funny thing happened.  As soon as Owen saw there was some competition for his food, he sat up and starting eating.  I think these babies are starting to realize that most of their lives will be a fight for our attention.  I've never seen Owen eat as quickly as he did after he saw Olivia getting some of the sweet potatoes.  Olivia was more than happy to take a few bites of his lunch though.
