I just gave away all the twins newborn clothes :( They have grown and changed so much!.I love having double the cheeks to kiss and double the buns to squish!
The twinkies we call them, both share a room, (separate cribs) and when I walk into their bedroom to feed them at 6am, they are sound asleep, the minute I undo the very loud velcro on either one of the twins swaddle, the other one starts to talk and squirm in excitement, the velcro gives it away, they totally know when I come to get them for food or to get out of the crib after a nap! So funny how they respond to the sound of Velcro! They do well sharing a room, most of the time they can sleep through each others cries and sounds so hopefully it stays that way!
A few days ago they smiled at each other for the first time with long stares like they finally got it, I have a sibling! I'm sure they have known in their own minds the other one existed but to see it show on their faces was really cute ;) I'm looking forward to more twin interaction and cooing that they can only understand!
Morgan still loves to stick her tongue out and lick things and Hudson is all smiles a good portion of the day unless you are late in feeding him, then he will let you have it! Both of them love Baby Einstein which is very nice for me to have a minute to cook up dinner! I have a pretty strict routine down most days which helps in keeping my sanity as well as the entire family going. The book baby wise has been WONDERFUL!!! I wasn't too strict with scheduling Madison's sleep as a baby, especially at night, but with the twins I did everything by the book! They have been sleeping through the night since 8 weeks so I have had plenty of sleep which has made having twins a much easier and fun experience! I think I'm finally adjusting to having 3 kids, not that its easy, it has some challenging days but God is good in giving me grace on the days that I need it, not that there is a day I don't but I know I can rely on his strength not my own. Feeling like I am spending enough time with all 3 kids every day is probably the hardest part, they all want my attention and the hours go by fast!
The days I take Madison to school are the most busy but we start out with feeding the twins at 6am which takes a hour including play time and diaper changes, twins go back down to sleep and Madison and I get breakfast, dressed and we are all out the door at 8:20! Its taken me weeks to learn how to get places on time and remember to bring the diaper bag with me but I think things are getting much easier and I realize I can't stay home all day even though its seems easiest at least now days!
2 months old- they look nothing alike! Morgan is still my tiny Madison :)
Morgan has an issue with keeping her hands to herself most the time they are on the mat together :) She is always grabbing at him or trying to lick him if she can get close enough :)
The tongue is always out! Is this Daddy's girl or what?
One of the first beach trips
They are about 6 weeks old in this photo
This is how we roll, we each feed one at the same time when we are out and about! Sean has been so great with whatever needs to be done at home with the kids which I am so thankful for :)
Love the sleep smiles :)
I think Hudson looks like Uncle Brent a little bit! Occasionally he will give me
a Sean look though!
Big sister is having more fun with Hudson and Morgan now that they are 3 months and smile at her so we are making progress! She has asked to pick up the babies several times but hasn't on her own -thank goodness
( I think she wants to put them in her stroller)
4 1/2 yrs old!! Her world has changed so much and there are times when its harder for her to see me holding the babies all day but its good for her to have more playmates (one day) as well as to share time and learn how to be loving to them! The opportunities for her to help me are countless and she is learning to do that better each day. I always look forward to taking Madison on mommy and Madison dates when our babysitter comes during the week! I get to spend some solid time with her and love on just her!
