Finally!

Nicholas now has his first tooth. After months of drooling all over the place and having a rash on his face, and just about everyone other classic teething indicator, it's just started to poke through. I think he thought he was going to have it easy as he watched his brother just breeze through two teeth coming in at the same time. I don't have the heart to tell the little guy that he has a whole lot more on the horizon.

No more carriers?!

The boys 6month check-up was today. Nicholas is still the leader of the pack at 28 inches and 18lbs with Matthew just a trailing behind at 26.5 inches and 17.6lbs. The doctor said it wouldn't be long before we won't be able to use the handy infant carrier seats, I will be sad to see them go as they made things so much easier. Snap into the car, snap into the stroller, and you could bring them in the house asleep and they would just stay in their seats for a little siesta. Oh well, onto a new adventure. The days of carrying both seats at once were short lived anyway, I am barely able to carry just one now without pulling out a shoulder :)

21 Bubbas

Yes 21! Why there are 21 and not 22 considering there are two babies - 21/2 is not an even number, we don't know! We always look in the fridge at the last bottle wondering "Why is there only one left?" The other night while I was making all of these tummy fillers I was thinking about the last 6 months. Where did the time go? It went to sleepless nights, lots and lots of diaper changes, many tears, many laughs, spit up on everything I own, those first smiles and many more milestones. I have to say it has been some of the best months of my life so far. I have already mastered the art of holding two babies, changing two diapers in 1 minute flat, feeding both at once, sitting down for lunch, taking a shower at least every other day, being able to venture out with these little guys on my own, and Chris and I actually getting out to a movie and dinner, those are my most recent accomplishments and I am feeling pretty good about them. For a while it seemed as if none of those things would happen in this lifetime. As everyone has told me, it does get easier, and now I believe them.
