Want to know the hardest thing about having twins? Having two babies.
They are still the cutest little chunky sweethearts, wearing 9 month clothing at 5 months old.... so we are copying off of baby Lucy's style, no doubt. They are eating baby food or mushy smushy food and Miles is loving it. Callie tolerates it now, so we are headed in the right direction. They are kept up with all of the holiday festivities so far and haven't kept us from any adventure yet. :)
I am just so delighted to share their first Christmas!! I am so excited, and Lucy is too!
They are starting to move and groove, which is a little scary. They are the drooliest duo you've ever met. The roll, they reach, they play- all fun baby stuff! This also means they are playing on the floor or in walkers and bouncers and that puts them right within reach of big sis...which is interesting for everyone. She's great at entertaining..but also loves them too much with really squeezy hugs and likes to move their heads when they aren't watching her....so don't leave them alone in the room with her. Hehe.
Callie and Miles don't get 5 month appointments, so no weight/height updates- although we may check in before their 6 month appointment because something still doesn't seem quite right about Miles' breathing patterns..... but he is eating, pooping and screaming just fine, so no doctor is worried about him. We have appointments in January for well checks after little guy has a cardio and urology appointment on winter break... fun. Then a urology surgery scheduled for February for the poor guy. They were so worried about his breathing and respiratory system catching up when he was in the NICU, they didn't snip him. Sooo the deal is, we have to wait until he is six months old, check with cardio and urology again and he has to sleep with anesthesia. So wish him well....wish momma well, and basically anyone who will be around him after all that.
Speaking of winter break...we have ONE full week left of school before break and I am counting down the minutes. I have big plans... well I have plans. Day one, deep clean this house! I am super great at keeping things put away and pretty awesome about laundry and dishes- all of that is always done. I need a day to wipe down baseboards, mop floors and basically clean the walls of this house! So my big plans consists of cleaning so much and loving it. I am also toying with the idea of switching out car seats. The babies meet the weight requirement, and their little legs are starting to grow out of their infant seats. Ugh, why do they have to grow up?!?! Before changing out seats though- I am super excited to plan a "detail the car" day too. More cleaning!! I actually do love cleaning and the satisfaction you get from living in that clean space.
School has been successfully crazy busy, between making blankets for Project Linus, making chocolate suckers to sell to the school and coaching girls basketball.... I think everyone is ready for the break! :)
