There is something so magical about being a mom. I can't fully wrap my mind around the fact that these two boys are mine. They make me so happy. I can't even put into words how happy being a mother has made me. These little fellas bring so much joy into my life every single day. There are so many times during the day when I am busy picking up or cleaning, and I look over at them in their jumpers or bumbos and they have the biggest smiles on their faces. It literally melts my heart. I don't know what I would do without them in my life. I feel so blessed to be given the opportunity to be their mother!

They are starting to react a lot to each other. It's so adorable. I can already tell that they have such a special connection. They have been talking and laughing at each other. I think this will be one of the funnest parts of having twins. We started them on rice cereal a few days ago! I am so excited to be feeding them solids. It's amazing to me how fast they grow and how much they change and learn every single day.

The boys had their 4 month appointment on Friday (even though they are almost five months) and they are literally growing like weeds. Stedson weighs 17lbs 1oz and Treydon weighs 13lbs 13oz. They had to get their four month shots and it broke this mommy's heart. I don't know how I am going to handle seeing them in pain.

We are getting anxious to make our trip home in a few weeks! We haven't been home since Christmas and it will be so fantastic to see our families and spend some time relaxing.

I have turned into a bit of a picture and video fanatic lately. I am obsessed with capturing every single moment of my little angels lives so I don't forget anything. Here are a few of the most recents...:)













I have been wanting to share this video with our families because I think it's the cutest thing ever but I haven't been able to send it as an attachment so you all get to enjoy it!:) (Please ignore the bad video skills, it was one handed with my phone)

Never Grow Up

The boys are now four months old and are at such a fun stage! We are having so much fun with them. I can't believe how big they are. Their little personalities are really starting to show and they are definitely different. Stedson has found his voice and knows how to use it! I guess he is sick and tired of waiting around. :) They are starting to play with toys and they LOVE their jumpers. I can't believe how fast they are growing. It makes me so sad. I had to box up their newborn and 0-3month clothes this weekend and it sure was a bitter sweet moment. I am happy they aren't getting up every two hours now, but I really will miss that adorable newborn stage.

They are both really close to rolling over. We spend a few minutes working on it before every feeding during the day. They are starting to tolerate tummy time a little better which I am very grateful for. I think I am getting good at tuning one baby out. There are just times during the day that I can't keep them both happy at the same time so one of them just has to cry until I can get to them. It used to really bother me when they would cry, but I have decided that it doesn't hurt them and is good for their lungs. I promise I don't let them cry on purpose though. :)

They are both officially sleeping in their cribs which is a pretty big deal for us. They have done awesome and seem to really enjoy it. They are so sweet when I go get them in the mornings. They both are so smiley and happy to see me. It melts my heart every time.

Here are a few of the newest pictures. Enjoy. :)
