6 months old




Has it really been 6 months since these little babies were born?! Time is flying by so fast for our little family. Each day is a new day that brings happiness and fun. The weather has been really nice recently so we have tried to get out of the house and go for some walks. The kids love to sit up and look forward rather than being in those car seats :) They both enjoy tummy time just a little better since their neck and arms are getting stronger and they can hold themselves up. They are growing out of their clothes faster than ever and it makes me so sad! I still think of them as my 4 and 5 lbs babies! It has been getting a little less stressful to be a parent of twins this month. They are eating more which means eating every few hours and MORE sleep during the night. They are also taking a little bit longer of naps. This is what I was looking forward to ;) They have started on rice cereal and baby veggies and will start fruits and the sippy this coming week. There are so many new things they are trying now. I love it! I absolutely love being a mom to Beckham and Brooklyn. I adore them and it makes me feel so good that they rely on me and love me just as much. As the saying goes 'they never said it was easy, they only said it would be worth it!'

Grandma Nelson comes to visit

This past week my mom came down from Georgia to help us out (and visit) the kiddos! We loved the help and loved having her here. She took the night time feedings and it was so NICE! Thanks mom! We did a little shopping when the kids were up but mostly stayed around the house. We look forward to when we see her again!




First Rice Cereal

We started the babies on rice cereal and it took just a little while to get used to. They have been on it about 3 weeks (Sept. 29th) and Beckham is now just getting the hang of eating it without fussing. Brooklyn on the other hand LOVES it and eats 2 tbls and still craves more! I can't wait to start them on veggies and fruits in the next months to come!
