We survived!!

On June 3 Ali and Avery turned six months old! Where did the time go!? Oh wait, it went to making bottles, washing bottles, feeding babies, wiping bums, changing diapers, washing clothes, burping babies, snuggling, kissing, rocking, buying diapers, buying formula, getting little to no sleep, getting sleep and wondering how I ever went without sleep, playing dress up (girls are so fun), taking pictures, and falling in love with my little girls more and more every day. It has been a crazy six months to say the least, but I think that life is finally feeling normal...whatever that really means. We decided that we needed to celebrate the fact that we made it and we are all alive! Most people that have twins say the first year is the hardest. So far I would say the first two months are the hardest. I don't think I really remember much about that time, probably delirious from lack of sleep. It has definitely been challenging but I absolutely love my kids.

Owen had a rough go at first but he is doing so good. The girls absolutely adore him. The other day he thought someone was leaving with one of his sisters and he had a bit of a come apart! I took that as a good sign because I think he might have shipped them back at first. (: During the past six months we also potty trained Owen! Wow, that was so much harder then I thought it would be, but he is a champ now! He has kind of turned back into a momma's boy. He was stuck to his dad's side for awhile but now he is my shadow. I love having him as my buddy. (: It's so fun to see him learning and figuring things out. He will say the funniest things and we just get a kick out him!

Ali and Avery are the sweetest babies ever! They put up with so much mauling and being passed around and kissed and loved on. They love it. Even when they aren't feeling good, there is always a big old smile waiting for ya. The only time they ever cry or fuss is if they are tired or hungry. They love love love their jumpers and never stop. You would think it would burn off a little baby fat but they are still as chubby as ever! We don't know if they are identical or not but they sure do look alike the older they get! They are so good natured and they just make us so happy!

My fam has informed me that they don't really care what I have to say on my blog, they just want to see more pictures! (They only love me for my kids) So here ya go...I don't want to hear any complaints this time because there are a ton! I didn't label many of them so in this first pic its Avery, Owen, and then Ali. If you want to figure out who is who, you'll have to try and base it off this pic! Or by binkis, Avery is pinky Ali is lime ricky.

My sister Em gave them these shirts, they say "My sister is my BFF" I love it!

Ali

First ever ice cream cone! He has a milk allergy so this was a big day for us!

I think I could submit this one in a contest or something I think it is so awesome!
