I love the morning time when I go to one crib to say good morning and I get a big beautiful smile and giggles. Then I go across the room and say good morning to the sister and get more smiles and giggles. I love their unique personalities and even though I am not supposed to, comparing the ways they are similar and the ways they are different. It truly has been a double blessing.
The only time I don't LOVE having twins is when I am having a special, sweet moment with one baby and I feel guilty because the other is left out. There are times when I wish that I could shower all my attention and love on one baby, but the reality is there's two babies and I will always have to divide myself between them.
The girls are 5.5 months now! They have been sleeping through the night for 2 months. We were really diligent about sticking to a feeding and sleeping schedule and it paid off. We have two good sleepers and two good eaters. B is my sweet, bashful and cuddly baby. She loves to imitate and move her mouth when we talk to her. She always looks like she is trying so hard to speak! I is my vibrant, happy and curious baby. She loves to look around and watch what is going on around her. She has a BIG smile and flails her arms around when she gets super happy. She loves to be sang to and will coo back at us.
We have been lucky that the girls are so healthy. They weigh about 12-13 pounds. They had two colds so far, but that is it! Both girls developed plagiocephaly, which basically means they have flat spots on their heads. To help correct the flat spots we opted to get helmets. They will wear them for 3-4 months. We were a little sad that we couldn't kiss their sweet heads whenever we wanted, but we think it is for the best to do it now.
Here they are at 4.5 months...making their first blog appearance!
