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.....

Happy Father's Day!

Wanted to post the beautiful picture of my husband with his three kids.  Everyone is sooo happy....

My Dad bought the twins these adorable chairs and they loved them, even Louie!   

My Dad had his first father's day as "Papa" in his new chair......

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....
