My babes are starting to really seem like little people! They let me know exactly how they're feeling, and they have opinions... strong opinions. "I'm hungry, and I'm hungry NOW!" I know what you're thinking... wait till they're toddlers. But being a nanny for 8 years, I'm familiar with the sweet potatoes flying through the air, poop smears on the wall, and public tantrums. We're taking ... [ Read More ]
Peej and Dell
Sorry for my blatant lack of posting this week. The girls got spoiled last weekend with family members loving them and holding them constantly, and they decided that mommy should have 4 arms and unlimited time to hold them and play with them now. Not gonna happen. So it's been a trying week, as I try to break habits before they become permanent. Don't they look so naughty in this pic? Lots of ... [ Read More ]
One year ago…
It totally seems like a weekend... and I almost forgot to take weekly Friday pics of the girls! Luckily they were already dressed cute since we're heading to see family soon. Did everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving? This year, I'm thankful for my babes. It's crazy to think that they were microscopic one year ago at this time. Heading to my parents this weekend has so many memories surrounding ... [ Read More ]
My Itty Bitties
It's been a pretty low-key week 'round these parts, and I'm not feeling very loquacious today, so I'll just leave you with this pic of my sweet babes... Have a safe and awesome weekend. Over and out. ... [ Read More ]
4 Months… can you believe it?!
My little baby humans turned 4 months this week! And we celebrated by going to the doctor and getting shots! And while we were there, we got some measurements/percentages to share... Paisley's Stats: Weight: 14lbs 3oz (65th percentile) Height: 24" (46th percentile) Adelyn's Stats: Weight 13lbs 9oz (30th percentile) Height 23.5" (25th percentile) These percentages are based on regular baby ...

Giggles!
Breaking news!! This just in! The girls are laughing! It's about the cutest thing I've ever seen or heard. Paisley laughed for the first time on Sunday, and Adelyn yesterday! It turns out they're quite ticklish! The following photo doesn't necessarily portray them using their new talent. Adelyn's been on an emotional rollercoaster today. She's even got a little tear, can you see it? Paisley on ... [ Read More ]
TWinnovative
Yesterday I and the girls went grocery shopping together for the first time! I had put a lot of thought into the logistics of this, including reading twin books on the topic and talking to other twin moms. The most common idea included having two carts, either with both babes being pushed in one cart, with the cart of groceries being pulled behind (which sounded awkward and difficult to maneuver), ...

I admit…
I'm all about being real on this ol' blog. And one thing I wasn't expecting with parenthood is the pressure to feel like a rockstar-mom. I've always taken great pride in how easy my twins are. They've always slept through the night, and been easy babies... till recently. And I don't want to admit my struggles! In addition to this parental pressure, I have lots of guilt for feeling overwhelmed ... [ Read More ]
Chickies
Note to self, orange is not the best backdrop color to complement most baby girl clothing. I thought pink outfits were sketchy, but I put RED outfits on them today... didn't fly. So we had several wardrobe changes... what else am I supposed to do with my free time?! There haven't been any major developmental milestones to speak of thus far. Still no rolling or reaching for objects... ... [ Read More ]
Friday Photoshoot
Let me just say that i LOVE having twins. Watching them lay on the floor together interacting and cooing to each other... I couldn't ask for anything else. And when they're both crying at the same time, I just laugh and say "TWO BABIES!!! Babies are everywhere! Baby chaos!" And then I pick which one to comfort first. In the beginning, my heart would break a little every time I had to choose ... [ Read More ]
