My First Mother's Day!



Such a sweet time.  This was my first mothers day with babies in my arms.  I have celebrated in the past with my sweet fur baby, Louie and with our angel baby in heaven but this was the first with the twins. It was so special.  Had some sick babies so didn't do much but we went to Brunswick and spent the weekend in our family home with my Nanny and I got gorgeous flowers from the hubby.






 The sweet faces I got to see that morning.....



My beautiful flowers...



6 months....


Wow, I know I am really late but I thought I would get this one in before I have to do the 7 months.  My babies have gotten so big, I Just can't believe how fast their first year is going.





Sleep: The babies both got sick with bronchitis and their coughs were keeping them up.  Jackson still slept pretty good, going down around 8 and not getting up till around 5 but Madison would wake her self up coughing usually around 2 and then be back up around 6.  I will say now that the cough is gone they for the most part are down around 8 and up about 5 but they do get up periodically to eat and then go back to sleep.  Still feel blessed they sleep as long as they do.  They are still rocked to sleep at this point...I just love snuggling with them till bed time. 

Feeding: Breast milk and solids.  They now get cereal for breakfast with a fruit, snack time and then dinner.  They have started on stage 2 so getting more of the combos and meats.  Jackson has started to not like green beans or peas and will gag but he is getting better about it.  Madison likes it all ;)

Just had to put a little momma note: Jackson twirls his foot as he eats.  Its the cutest thing :) 





















Diapers:  We are currently wearing size 2 Huggies on their cute monkey butts.....
Clothing:   Jackson is becoming my big little boy.  He is now wearing size 9 month sleepers but 6 month daily wear  He is so long but has such a tiny waist.   Madison is wearing 3 months mainly and can wear some 3-6 months.  Sleepers she is in 6 months because of her length.  


Photo on right:  Madison and Jackson at 6 months beside their preemie clothes.  Crazy how little they once were and how much they have grown.




Milestone:  They have both found their voices and their laughs are just the most adorable things.  Jackson has such a sweet chuckle and Madison has her little southern peach laugh.   They just make your day light up....




We have incorporated dinner to our night routine and they like to talk with each other....
