As many of you know, as soon as you get pregnant, you get an out poor of advice from parents. And from what I was told I was seriously frightened by all the issues I may run into -- from time in the NICU to healing from delivery to reflux to sleep habits to first cold to tandem feeding... I could go on forever but you get the point.
While this last year has been anything but easy (did I mention tandem feeding??) I can say that I have two wonderful, full of life, healthy, consistently happy children. And while some make fun of our "scheduled" lives I truly can say that it has been a rare occasion that the twins cry for more than a momentary ouch OR become cranky for lack of food/sleep. Both are superb sleepers -- 3-4 hours of naps a day & 12 hours of solid sleep a night 99% of the time. Both love food & have been introduced to nearly every item in our pantry minus honey & nuts. But more than all of these little successes, both are developing into these interesting little characters full of light, laughter & happiness.
Lucy is extremely vocal, loves being entertained, never lets anything pass her by & has a wicked sense of humor. Hunts is the most even-keeled child I have ever met, goes weeks (no joke) without crying, enjoys anything/everything cars (his favorite moment all week is seeing the garbage man) & is quickly learning to defend his territory against his sister who can crawl quicker than him, hold on harder than him & has no issue pushing him down into any sharp corner she can find.
Although our sunny, fun-filled Summer has come to an end, I just can't wait to see what this Fall & Winter have in store for us. Below, as always, are a few highlights from this past month:
Sounds like its all as it should be! Such cute babies!
