8 Months

Sleep: Has been amazing.  The twins have been sleeping through the night onces again.  We do our normal routine of bath, pj, read book and then they lay down in bed and usually fall right asleep.  They don't even cry anymore. Its awesome.  Jackson has started sleeping on his stomach right around 9 months. 

Feeding: Still breast milk and some formula.  Mainly just afternoon bottle.  Still on stage 2 but graduated to stage towards the end of 8 months.  They now eat puffs which at first were not feeding their selves but now they pick them up and eat them. So cute.....

Diapers:  Stage 3 

Clothing:   Jackson is wearing mainly 9 month although he has several 12 month Carters that he can wear.  He has kinda leveled out on his growing spurt which is nice because he can wear his outfits more then once.    Madison is wearing 6 months although still big on her.  She is my little one, not much growth.  

What are they loving to do.......

to play, laugh, and touch your face. Of course they love mama's necklace and and any other jewelry. We have been too Sea World twice. They enjoy the Shamu show. 

Took 8 months but they found the stickers.....

Milestone:  Both of them are sitting up with no support.  They are able to turn around, twist, scoot (there form of crawling).  

7 months

Can not believe that we are now in month 8.  The twins 7 months was very busy and they have so much personality now.  

Sleep: After they were over their bronchitis we started to have issues with keeping Jackson in his bed.  Madison has always been such a good sleeper.  We would do bath time, she would have a bottle, rock her for a little bit, and she would be sound a sleep. She would sleep in her crib without waking up till about 5 AM.  Jackson would be rocked, fall asleep, you would lay him down and within about 30 min he would be screaming.  We would end up just putting him in bed with us before morning.  Finally, we did what I never wanted to do but letting them cry in crib till they fell asleep.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  The first night it lasted about 20 min then the second night about 15 min and now it might be as long as 5 min.  Its amazing. We have our nights back and bed time is so much easier.  It was so hard to give up that one on one time loving and rocking them but now the can soothe their selves and they sleep through the night till about 6 AM.  

Feeding: Breast milk and solids and some formula.  My production has slowed down some so we also have started some formula.  They have added an extra meal of solids.  Morning, afternoon, and dinner of solids.  Still no table food at this time.  


but we have teeth so want be long.....

Madison got hers a few weeks after Jackson....

Jackson got his right at 7 months...

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. 

What are they loving to do.......

Madison loves the pool.  Jackson does once he gets use to it but they both enjoy water so much.  They love love peek a boo.  Of course they have found their feet and love to pull them over their head, they also have found each others feet and tend to try to bite them..

They love the outside and going on walks (Louie enjoys it too...)

Milestone:  They both have two bottom teeth. 

They are sitting very well, we have graduated from the infant tub to bath seats.  They love to splash splash splash....

OUR BABIES...THEY ARE GETTING SO BIG! 

Memorial Day! 

Family photos...6 months

First visit to IL....

This is a late post but in May we went to Illinois, it was the babies first visit and it was a busy visit.  My baby sister graduated with her BSN.  The twins did great through the service, I was so proud of them.

BAPTISM 

Since we were in IL we decided to have the twins baptized at Jason's family church that he also was baptized in, it was such a sweet ceremony.  I had planned for this day since the day they were born, I knew what I wanted them to wear and found me the perfect dress.  Well, at the beginning of the service, my zipper split.  So embarrassing, I ran out to the bathroom, took the dress off and just could not get the zipper unstuck.  Luckily my mom had a sweater I could put on that covered my zipper but I will always remember that, so although not a perfect day, it was close.....

After the service we had a celebration brunch at my mother in loves and enjoyed some laughs and fun with family....

 Later that day, we went to my parents home and had a combined meet the twins/ Alison's Graduation cookout.....
