Who's bright idea was that? I hope it isn't too hard for the twins to adjust. Nothing much new here. I want to cry. I boxed up all of the 3-6 month baby clothes today and got out the 6-9 month. I was worried they would be too big, so I dressed the twins in some 6-9 month outfits. They fit. :( How did that happen? Colt and Cora have long torso's, so they outgrow their onesies first. I didn't really realize how I was squishing them into smaller onesies until I got the bigger ones out.
Cora passed out in Zac's arms today. She was fussy so he picked her up and she conked out quickly. We usually put them in their cribs to nap, but I was in there going through all of the clothes. Zac was in charge of the twins. It took me 2 hours to go through everything, put away, etc. When I got done, I came to the living room to help Zac. His first words were, "How do you do it all day? I took care of the twins 2 hours and I'm worn out! One baby would be so easy." He cracked me up. It's about time someone else knows how hard I work. And I still get supper on the table and laundry done. A mamma's work is never done. I have the washer going right now. I really want to go to bed, but its only 8:30. Tomorrow it will be 9:30... I think that's an excuse to go to bed soon.
I know I say this a lot, but its true. I am so thankful for everything God has given us. I am the luckiest mommy in the world. I have two awesome kids that are extremely helpful. I'm always thanking them and praising them for everything they do to help out. They do the dishes almost every day. They help with laundry. They sweep and help mop. They gather trash. The keep their rooms picked up. They have a great sense of humor that makes me laugh. They are great with the twins and love making them laugh. Okay, yes, they are children and aren't perfect. They do make mistakes sometimes, but I'm lucky to have them. I bought The Sound of Music recently and I watched it with Zac and Abby for the first time. I can't tell you how great it is to share moments with them like that. I got to share something I liked that they had never seen before.
I also Thank God almost every day for the twins. I'm so lucky. They weren't born too early and they are perfectly healthy. They are growing like weeds. I'm thankful for my husband. Shawn wants me to stay home with them right now. He wants me to be a stay at home mom right now. To quote him, "I don't want anyone else watching my babies." I get to stay home and take my millions of pictures and video clips. I take so many pictures because I don't want to miss a moment of them growing up. We only get to go through the baby thing once. I love scrolling back through Facebook and my blog and remember things I probably would have forgotten otherwise. I scrolled back though last year and remembered how it felt doing IVF at the start of the year, etc. There was a time I worried Shawn and I would never be parents. I can't tell you how difficult that was. Now I get to hold not one, but two beautiful little babies. I didn't know if I would ever get to snuggle a baby that I got to keep and call my own. I love them laying their head on my shoulder or chest and falling asleep. Sigh! I'm so lucky. <3
I will not miss, however, the baby puke. I used to change my shirt at every little spit up. Now Cora has to puke on me for me to change my shirt. LOL! What's a little baby spit up? Cora can't help it. She's a pukey baby.
Mentioning Cora, she's turning into a little spitfire lately. She used to be the laid back one and she slept more than Colton. In the past 3 weeks or so, that has really started changing. She is sleeping less than Colt and her temper now shows. She is at the stage where she's getting frustrated a lot. She wants to crawl and she can't do it yet. She knows she wants to get after something, but can't so she screams/squeals at the top of her lungs. She has learned she can get places rolling, but she always ends up rolling into something and it stops her progress. As a result, the temper comes out again.
Colt is still teething, so he is sleeping more than Cora. He's scooting still, but he doesn't roll to get places. He just flips to his tummy, puts his head down, butt up, and pushes forward. I love how much they touch each other and hold hands. I love how close they are.
I better wrap this up. It's long enough. Goodnight! I'll leave you with pictures and video clips.

Here is Cora passed out.
I've learned to change Colt's clothes while he's on his tummy. I fight putting his diaper on, but give up after that. I'm getting good at dressing him this way.
This was yesterday. She was fussy and wanted picked up. She got some mommy snuggles and fell asleep not too long after this picture was taken. Isn't she adorable?
If something ever happened to this glow worm, it would be an emergency trip to town. She love it so much.
Her glow worm is her pal and needs yelled at sometimes. LOL!
I made homemade mixed vegetables and mashed/pureed it. They love it. Cora wanted more.
This was from the other day. Cora kept scooting to Colt. I wondered what she would do when she got there. She tends to touch his face, but she collapsed in a fit of hunger before she got there.
I didn't proofread. Sorry if there are typos!
