I cant believe the boys just turned 6 months old. Time really does fly when you look back, but funny how it seems to sit still when you're in the moment. Anyway, this is by far my favorite age for the boys so far. They get more and more fun the older they get. Yes, newborns are cute, but big babies with personalities are FUN! They're like little people now. Its funny how they are completely different. I also think its funny when people say they cant tell them apart, because to me they look so different.
Here are some awesome things about having 6 month olds:
- They sleep 9-10 hours a night. This might be the number one thing that I enjoy the most. This fact alone enables us to have normal lives, normal schedules, and do normal things at normal times. Have I mentioned normalcy?!?!
- They LAUGH! I mean full-on belly laughs. They think everything is funny. (Well, Colt does. Clay looks at you like you're an idiot sometimes. ;) )
- They have the cutest, sweetest smiles that will melt your heart.
- They have a SCHEDULE! Granted, it is not an exactly-the-same-every-day kind of schedule, but a schedule none-the-less.
- They can wear all their cute outfits! :) I absolutely love dressing them alike/coordinating. Sometimes Chris thinks I'm being a bit ridiculous, but he lets me do it anyway ;)
- They are starting to play with each other. I love that I can put them on the floor and they laugh, steal toys, and interact with each other. It makes you realize that having two babies is IDEAL! (Ha, for this reason, but others times having two is a bit of a challenge!!)
- I can finally take them out and not worry about every little germ. I have become much less crazy about germs. I even let their toys fall on the floor without bursting into tears and having a full-blown panic attack ;)
I absolutely love my boys and love being their mom. I feel bad for people who dont ever experience the joy of having children. It by far exceeds any other joy in life, and its a joy that cannot be explained to anyone who hasnt experienced it first hand. Yes, it is tiring. Yes, it is a lot of work. Yes, it is expensive. But nothing replaces it. They are my heart, and I'm so glad they're mine <3 (oh, and Chris's!) We love our little men more than anything and cant wait to raise two respectful, handsome young boys and see everything that life has in store for them <3 <3
