Life is getting busier and busier around here! I've been promoted at work to Assistant General Manager, a bitter sweet position for me for many reasons. Also, my life has shifted with the hours/ shifts I work. On one hand it's allowing me to be able to put my babies down an extra night a week :) on the other, I'm learning way too many technical terms for food we carry!
I can't believe the girls are almost 6 months! I've also been up since 4 am with about 3 hours of sleep so here is a quick recap of the past few weeks:
Lily has gone from our grumpy baby to smiley. She has a huge grin almost all of the time. She is now more predicitble with naps and goes down to be easier (knock on wood!) She also has slept through the night two times in one week. Maybe the end of late night feedings is almost over?! She is rolling back to front and sleeps on her tummy every night. It drives me crazy but I know so many of us slept that way and turned out ok :)
Grace has had a few road bumps with her docband and therapy. The first day she was in the band for 24 hours a big blister appeared on the back of her head. It was pretty bad and we have had her out of the band for a week now. Her physical therapy is going well though and she has gone from a 30% range of motion to about 90%. Her Daddy is working very hard with her on the pt at home. She also had to go to her pedi to get her head checked out, but her pedi said she is doing great. She weighed in at 12 lbs 10 oz. I think Lily is close to 15/16 lb range and I think they are going to be in split sizes pretty soon. What about all of the cute clothes I've already bought in matching sets? :)
Between 3 doctors appointments in two days my days off are not very producitve right now. Grace is back for another evaluation to hopefully get her band back before too much more growth happends. She has pt for 4 more weeks and the girls have their 6 month check up on July 11th!
Here are a few snap shots:

It's officially summer time!!!
Tummy time is hard to do with twins... just when you get one baby situated, the other wants to be held. Then the tummy time baby is DONE and believe me, it's hard to hold 2 twelve pound babies at once who are crying! So we got this mirror and we have this set up going on, it working well and especially Grace loves to see herself in the mirror :)
Happy Memorial Day! We wore our red white and blue crabby butt outfits from Grandma Kay :)
This was Lily's first time "testing out the waters" in the kiddie pool! Don't mind all the leaves, they were trimming the trees on our property!
Here is Grace's first time. She hates the bath, but eventually got the splashing down the next day. It was nap time (hence the binky) so she wasn't really into it!
Did you know they don't make small swim diapers? :) Here is Lily getting her first real "swim" on!
Starting to warm up to the idea! Helps that Daddy put warm water in the pool so it was more like a bath!
Now Grace... and again, just like the bath, she wasn't really into it.
Happy Summer :) Hopefully they like the pool more by the time Daddy signs them up for swim lessons!

It's RICE CEREAL TIME! Our babies took their first bites of rice cereal today. We have been putting it off because neither C nor I wanted to miss their "first bites." Well I misread the directions late last night when setting everything up so basically it was one big mess.... but it was fun :) Will try again tomorrow!
Lily's first food :)
Grace was all about holding the spoon!
Just give me the spoons Mom :)
Mmmmm yum!
Our new eye-eyes. The girls want to sleep with wash clothes and thick blankets so we invested in their first blankets. Nice and thin. They nap with them but not sleep with them at night :) I think Grace is trying to steal Lily's blanket here!
They love Ellen and especially the part where she dances, and Tony Karaoke :)
My two girls are growing up so fast!
