TWIN BOYS

15 months!!

Can't believe the twins are 15 months old today!!  It's gone by so so slow, but so so fast.  They are so fun and cute, yet so much work and so hard.  Blessing beyond measures.  They are so competitive with each other and will not walk on their own yet.  They have each taken their own steps and can walk 5-10 steps on their own, but they won't very often.  They both are taking one finger of mine out of each hand and I'll walk one on one side and the other twin on the other hand.  They don't say any words yet, but sometimes they will say uh oh, but that does not count, neither does saying mama or dada when they are crying.  A couple weeks ago both babies were sick and that means all sleep schedules go out the window and they are now in a terrible habit of wanting to sleep by mom all night.  Jaxon won't let me put him in his crib at all and I need my sleep, so I put the twins together in the same crib for nap time today and they played for over an hour just laughing and tickling each other and playing peek a boo with each other.  I was so glad that I had a video monitor that I could watch it all.  Tonight they are back sleeping together, we will see how long it lasts.  Just hoping that something will help them sleep through the night.  Both twins love their bottles and still get them warmed up (spoiled) for morning nap and bedtime and they like me to hold their bottles for them.  I just cut out the afternoon bottle  because we are so busy we just don't have time for it.  Neither baby loves to drink water or milk out of a sippy cup, but slowly they are drinking more.  They do have a mind of their own and know what they want.  When the twins fight over a toy (usually a ball), they will start to head butt each other like little bulls.  I will usually just let them fight it out unless I can tell someone is actually going to get hurt.

They still love their walkers and have fun running in them and chasing their siblings around in them.
