Yyyyyaaaaaaaaaaassssssss!!!

Despite some drama today, the girls and I had a full day! We went to church this morning, which was admittedly the first time I have gone with them since they were born. It was too scary to think about having two babies at once and even today was mega anxiety inducing. Caelyn and Kira did as well as I could expect them to and I wore them through about the first half of the service (although we were a little late). Kira screamed “da da” in the middle of prayer and Caelyn cried when I eventually left them in childcare because they were making too many happy noises during the sermon for my comfort. Our wonderful nanny snapped a picture of us before we left and helped with transitioning Caelyn as well.

After we got home and they napped, we did Easter baskets. Kira flipped through the pages of her new book and picked everything out to examine it. Caelyn wasn’t super interested in her basket and wanted her sister’s instead.

Finally, we decorated cookies that Aunt Amanda made and sent them.

One last picture grouping is too adorable not to share. Yesterday the girls and I decorated their first eggs:):)

Girls,

You may read more things written from my perspective and you may see more pictures that came from my phone in the forms of girl selfies. However, I promise that your daddy loves you and cares so much about how you are raised and how you grow up. You are our world forever and that’s a guarantee.

Love,

Momma

My miracles are 8 months old!

Kira has her two front top teeth that started coming in two days ago and she has the biggest smile! She started army crawling today and is such a sweet and good eater. She loves cuddles and seeing things outside and can grab good with her finger and thumb. She has FPiES and is currently dairy, wheat, soy, and oat free and has an allergy to egg and rice, so we are eating lots of fresh veggies, fruits, meats and basically nothing prepared, bought or premade. She loves any toy sister has and loves her toys and being worn by momma. She JUST started army crawling and rocking on her hands and knees today!

Caelyn has gone from army crawling to normal crawling and is very mobile. She likes doing a downward dog and tries to stand up from it. She has started stealing food from sisters tray, because she goes through her tray very fast by shoving it all in her mouth and having left overs drop in her bib pouch. She is very sweet, but still dramatic and screams and throws fits when she is upset.

Both babies have had some head bumps and a few small bruises from all their learning and moving and dropped their 530am feed about a week ago now, so they sleep from 7-630 overnight. I still wake up to pump at 530, but at least I have the option to sleep through now. The girls have tried over 55 foods now and comeThanksgiving, we will be adding two more! They both love their nanny, Katelynn, and are doing so well with her during the day. They also have only taken two naps the past two days, so we may have the beginning of dropping their third nap as well. Well see;)

Every day is an adventure and it’s so awesome to live it with Chris and watch our babies grow:)

Chris actually was the one who saw Caelyn crawl first and has been really getting involved with taking care of them. Hell get on the floor to play or help then crawl, stand, etc. and is feeding them cereal one piece at a time to work on fine motor skills. It is so great to see him getting involved and being just our little family:)

P.s. yes, those are the same sleepers from their 6 month. They are still wearing 3-6 month items and are somewhere in the 13-14 pound range right now.
