7 1/2 months old

This week you two have been super funny. You both have been showing your personalities and it is so adorable.

Juliet, you were so cute the other day. We were feeding you food and I switched to apple sauce. It was cold out of the fridge and you squinted your eyes and made a funny face. Everyone busted out laughing and you caught on...so after that, you made the face on purpose...it was so cute! You did it several times to get a reaction. We laughed and tried to record it. :) You are such a doll. You have been sleeping through the night finally, for about a week or two. It is so nice. :) You are a good sleeper and happy all the time. You wake up happy and that is nice. You look at me no matter where I am and its like we have this little bond. I love it. You look at me and smile and often cry if I am not holding you. This week also you say Mama and Dada. I don't know if you link them to us, but it is cute nonetheless. You aren't interested in crawling too much yet, you are content to just be wherever you are. Mostly to be held. :) You have been sticking your blankets in your mouth lately, I should check for teeth. :) You swing your arm often, last night I though for sure you were leading an unseen choir in a song...it seemed like it. You are in a cute babbling stage and coo loudly often and babble on, it is adorable. You are both at such a fun stage right now. I love it.

Jace, you are itching to crawl so bad you can taste it. You are so wiggly and want to just squirm and go. On the floor you go everywhere by rolling and get up on all fours. You have been shaking your bum for a week or two raring to crawl. Soon you will be going all over and I will be in trouble. You are also a babbler and babble loudly when you are happy. You are getting to be a chunky monkey and it is so squishy cute. :) You have the most adorable little smile and blue eyes. You love food and open wide waiting for the spoon. Both of you are patient when it comes to food...not bottles, but food...you wait patiently for the other to have a bite. :) You still wake up once a night, but a couple of times this week you didn't, so hopefully soon you will sleep all night. :) You are such a happy little fellow and full of energy. You love to play and roll and both of you love the wipes package. Probably the noise is so fun to play with. :)

I can't believe you are both so big. Time is slipping away from me. You wont let me cuddle you that much anymore and it is so sad. I still try to hold you both as much as I can at the same time...but you are both squirmy and just getting big. :(

Although I am glad I am not pregnant, because at the end it was just miserable....but worth it....I am missing when you were both tiny little tots. But each stage is so fun and flies by.

You have such cute little spirits and I love you bunches!

7 Months

Oh you are growing so fast. I can hardly stand it. I was thinking you were still 6 months for awhile, then someone asked me how old you were, and I was shocked the 2nd had past and you had turned 7 months. oh so sad. You are both getting so big.....Jace you are up on all fours shaking your bum, wanting to crawl...it is so cute. You love your brothers and giggle insanely at them when they even talk or look at you. It is so funny. You are such a tunk. You love to eat and when you have a full tummy you are so happy and adorable. You are content most of the time and love to play in the saucers. You roll right over on the floor and scoot backwards and roll everywhere. You know and recognize Umi Zoomi when it comes on, because your brothers are addicted. :) Mostly Kason now. :) You have the cutest smile and  will melt hearts all over, as you already do. You scream bloody murder when you are hungry and don't let up til something is in your mouth.:) You are such a doll. I can't believe how much personality shows right now at such a young age.

Juliet, you are a little doll. You are so tiny and petite. You are doing well with food and have been showing a cute personality lately too. You have been sticking your tongue out for weeks, it is adorable. You have no desire to roll over and get going. You have started rolling to your stomach a little more now, but you don't care much. Jace may be crawling circles around you. I think you are the same way with eating...you leave your mouth out with your tongue hanging out for the next bite. :) It is cute, but you are more interested in eating when you see Jace eating. :) You love mom. You are always looking at me and following me. Your eyes are glued to me and I think we have a great little bond. :) You get a little giggly when you are happy and you are always grabby at everything. You always try to grab Jace's binky and now he started doing that to you. You sleep through the night now, for the last week or so. It is so nice, now if Jace would just do it. :) He wakes up once usually and still, that is great. You both do great in your cribs and just love to play. You love to be held also, so you are both a bit spoiled. :)

It has been so fun to have you both at the same time. I am so sad you are getting big and often think I would love to have another set later on. You two are so much fun. I love you so dearly and still often can't believe I was so blessed to have twins. It is beyond a dream come true. Love you both.

6 Months

 

Time has flown by. I am sad you have gotten so big. Look at your cute faces!

 

5 Months

Hi little babies! You are 5 months old. I can't believe it. You are growing so fast and big. Juliet yo have been grabbing things for a couple of weeks now and are such a grabby little thing....you grab everything. :) It is so cute and fun to see. Jace just started using his hands to grab his toys and things this week.  You both coo and jabber and it is adorable. Juliet you still seems so tiny and little and Jace seems a bit bigger. I don't know how much you weigh, prob a pound and a half different most likely. :) Kason has taken a great loving to you two. He gets in your face and says, "Hi Jace!""Hi Juliet!" It is so cute. :) He rubs your heads and bellies and wants to hold you guys sometimes. The girls carry you around like you are their dolls. They are great helpers when they feel like it.:) Ryder loves you both too and he is cute to see with you since he didn't have much to do with Kason when he was a baby. :) Probably because he was easy going and didn't care much. :) Juliet we got your ears pierced last Sat on the 6th. :) I guess it was your 5 month bday gift. :) You are so cute with your new earrings.:) You have started to just stare at mom and dad a lot. It is so funny. ;) When you are being held you turn your head and cute little eyes and just stare at mom and dad it is so cute. :) I can't believe how fast time flies. I am sad you aren't so little anymore, and just keep growing :(. I don't know if you are our last babies or not and I hate that you are so big. I hate that it is harder to hold you both at the same time. I want to be able to do that forever. You are both so squirmy now it is hard. I miss holding you both in my lap. :( You still grab hands when you are next to each other and I love it. LOVE IT. Sometimes I still can't believe I had twins....and yet here you are. You look nothing a like. Jace you look like Dad and your brothers and Juliet you def. look like me...and perhaps Halle. Or Jayda. It is funny you are so different and great also. :) I love you little pumpkins so much. I just want to cuddle you all day and you are too big for that.:) I just have to settle for you head in the crook of my neck and me kissing on your for only a couple of minutes now instead of for as long as I want. :) You are getting great at holding up your heads and preparing to sit. Things are a little slower since you are #7 and #8 but that is okay, I am happy to keep you young as long as I can. :) I love you dearly.

Motor Skills

So lately you are both wobbly bobblies. :) You squirm around a lot, if I lay you on the floor you squirm your way around and end up all crooked with hands and feet on each other and twisted around. :) Juliet, you discovered how to use your hands this past week. You grab your toys above your seat and grab anything...(which you have since birth) but now you have control over it. :) It is cute. You grab my face and you give open mouth kisses. :) I  look at you and you seem so small and tiny still. You are about 11 lbs and still you are tiny for a little 4 month almost 5 month old. You have the cutest most precious smile and I love it when I earn it. :) You are so sweet and still a good sleeper.

Jace, you haven't found your hands yet except to put them in your mouth or grab your feet to put them in your mouth. :) You still smile so big and it is so precious. You open wide and smile big for kisses. You are growing big, and seem to be hungry all the time. You often have an extra feeding or two that Juliet doesn't. You are so cuddly and I love to just squeeze and love on you.

Both of you watch everyone and see what is going on. You turn your heads and follow us around. You have figured out that you don't want to be sitting in a swing all the time anymore.:) But you both can't quite hold your heads up yet...almost....you just get a little tired. You can almost sit in a bumbo...I would love to write more but Jace is crying and the boys are making a mess in the bathroom, so I must go. Love you both!

Growing

You are both growing so big. You are so much more awake now than before. It is fun to see you looking around and growing so big. You are also so squirmy and moving lots. You are getting around to holding your heads up a little better. You are also doing well with cereal. I am not consistent enough to feed you everyday, but I am working on it. You are doing well learning to eat. Sometimes I wonder how on earth I will tend you both as you grow. It is easy with you small and immobile. Life will be nuts when you start moving around. We have a great routine right now...need to work on overnight...but we are doing good. Love you guys so much and I find myself wishing I could hold and love on you both and squeeze and cuddle all the time. But I can't...def. can't at the same time.
You are too big and squirmy! Juliet you are so dainty and little. You remind me a lot of Sienna and how tiny she is. I suspect you will be  a lot like her. ;) Jace you are so squishy and fun. You are like my little puppy dog...sleep and cuddly and I love it. I love to look at your feet and watch you. You are love to look at your hands and feet and play with them. It is so cute, I love it. :0) I love it when you blabber on about nothing. I love to lay you by each other and see what you do. You always end up touching each other, holding hands, it is so cute. I love to see you smile at each other. I am sad to see you grow so big. I love you both so much and count my blessings every second. Even when I am half asleep. :)

4 months and Counting

You two little crazy angels turned 4 months on the 6th! This past week has been a little difficult. For some reason Jace has been screaming bloody murder to eat every 1 1/2 hrs to 2 and sometimes Juliet also. Night has been the hardest. Usually Juliet does okay, but Jace still wants to eat all the time. I have been starting you both on oatmeal cereal lately and you have been having more bottles lately. It makes it harder for me to do anything when you are so hungry all the time. Besides, I really don't want you to be hungry. :) And I really want to sleep! Neither of you take your binkies at all when you are crying. I have to have a bottle on hand in public because there is no pacifying you...you both just scream so loud and get so mad. Not a good quality, I guess the little patience Jace had in the beginning has vanished :(. We will work it out. I can't really go many places unless I am super prepared...it makes everything a little more challenging. :)

But you are both worth it. I am sad you are getting so big. Your last checkup on the 6th put Jace at 12 lbs 5 oz and Juliet at 10lbs 9oz. You both have almost gained 2lbs exactly. :) Juliet you still a little peanut, but I am glad one of you is still small. :) Jace you will still smile at everyone and brighten the room with that gorgeous smile. Juliet likes to play and when she is in the mood will laugh and kind of grunt and play. :) Both of you are ticklish and will laugh when mom tickles you. :)

It is so fun to have two of you, I find it getting a little more difficult now. You are both wiggly worms..so I have to be sure and buckle you in swings, seats, etc, or you will wiggle out. Also I have to be careful you are both starting to squirm and can roll from front to back, so couches and beds we have to be careful too. You are both close to holding your heads up...not quite yet, but getting better. I think you are a little behind in that regard, because it is not possible for me to hold you both all the time, as a matter of fact, I almost can't hold you both at the same time anymore and that makes me sad. You are too squirmy and big and :( it is sad. I will still try though. :)

I love to have you look at each other and watch the recognition and smiles come to your faces. It is my favorite thing!!! You are both so fun. I love you dearly please stop growing so fast.

And PS Please start sleeping through the night...or at least just better (Jace) :)

Juliet you are crying...I must go..
