6 months!!

Am I a monthly blogger now??!! I just might be!! AHHHH!! I never thought it could happen....but its definitely starting to look that way. *sigh* Well here's what's been going on in our neck of the woods...

Sweet Caelyn got the chance to have her picture taken in the family christening dress that has been worn by generations before her. We have a picture of her Great great Grandma wearing the same dress...pretty neat! I was definitely freaking out when I put it on her...I even ripped it a little (ahhhhh!!)...but it truly is in great condition for being over a hundred years old!

Caelyn is able to hold her head up when she's laying on the floor...and is starting to push herself up with her arms nearly straight in front of her. She can roll over from her back to her tummy and then tummy to back. She loves to stand up if someone is willing to help her...and her little legs are constantly kicking a little irish jig. :o) She is quick to smile and LOVES to talk...or maybe I should say "scream"...she is the LOUDEST little girl ever! She's like a little bird...chirping and screeching all day long! Caelyn can easily recognize the sign for "milk" and "bath", getting VERY excited when she sees either of those signs!
Carter finally has enough hair for a mohawk!! :o) Momma is so proud! He is the most ticklish boy on the face of the planet...he will just giggle and squeal if you barely touch his tummy (and surprisingly his back too!) He is pretty laid back and when he finds himself on his belly, he'd rather lay with his head on the floor than pick it up....but at times he will give it a go and is getting quite strong! He also loves standing, but he will keep his little piggy toes all curled up the whole time! He also can recognize the signs for "milk" and "bath". He loves it when his momma sings to him and will smile and dance to his favorite songs (#1 being "The Itsy Bitsy Spider").

Yes...we started rice cereal the other day...it was quite a hit! The kids are getting the hang of eating off a spoon and mommy and daddy are having a lot of fun feeding them!

Speaking of feeding...I think I may be done breastfeeding...I was planning on starting to wean them this week...but the formula I bought got RECALLED so I was freaking out a little bit...I was thinking that I KNOW what goes into my milk....I never know what's going into those cans!!! But at the same time I'm DONE with breastfeeding. It has been good so far (definitely had its ups and downs) but I'm ready to be a bit more "mobile" with the feedings...and to not have a screaming baby while I feed the other (they refuse to tandem feed).

I think in the end it will be better for all of us...and I figure...I nursed TWINS for 6 months...that's a LOT of feedings. Equivalent to a singleton mommy feeding for a YEAR...

The "ladies" need a break.

'Nuff said.

:o)

I can't believe my babies are half a year old...I'm so excited to start planning their first birthday...though I can't believe how fast its coming up...

I was watching videos that we have of their first few months and I can't believe how much they've grown! Its amazing...and so fun to fall even deeper in love with them every day!
