Confession of a Twin Mom

I confess that some days I hold one of my girls more than the other.

I confess sometimes I give my girls paci before they get fussy to prevent fussiness from happening.

I confess I sleep til 8 even though I say I'll stay up after 6 when the girls wake up for the first time.

I confess that bed time is the best part of my day.

I confess that I give Kate a stuffed animal at naptime even though the experts say not too...that's the only way she'll go to sleep.

I confess that I take a shower at 3 pm everyday.

I confess that I'm not looking forward to babyfood mess.

I confess that I scan pinterest.com and facebook sometimes when I should be playing with the girls.

I confess that I look forward to my runs and grocery shopping for some baby free time.

Ok there is my confessions...what's yours?

4 Months

I'm learning that life as a mom of twins means things don't get done quick. In fact it takes a long time to finish projects or work on extra things like my blog and pictures. So I spent today ignoring my messy bedroom to edit the 4 month pictures I took of the girls. I love my camera and wish I could take a class to get better at photography (that's a whole other blog post in itself). My idea I've had is to take pics of the girls for each month "birthday" in these big floppy hats we inherited.

Rose is my physical girl. She loves to stand on her legs with help from Mom & Dad of course. She also has a better time when on her belly. Don't get me started on tummy time! This week she rolled over for the first time but hasn't done it again.

Rose has learned to grab her toes when she is on her back. She also is the better sleeper of the two, and always sleeps spread eagle. She loves to be in the jumper and moving around. I think she might be the first to crawl, we'll see. Oh and she still sticks that tongue out all the time.

Kate is my talking girl. That girl can squeal. Cute when she's happy, effective when she's not. She loves being silly with her Daddy and will laugh and talk to him. She loves her new toy that plays music and will yell at it when it's not playing.

I think Kate will be our hard head. She has good neck control, but don't put her on her belly. She refuses to lift that head up! But once you lift her up and talk to her you see those big blues.

I think both girls are going to keep the blue eyes. They only keep getting lighter. They are both getting so big. I know I'm prejudice, but they are both beautiful babies. Everyday is a new adventure and we're looking forward to our 5th month.
