What's Been Happening With Us

Hello my wonderful readers. I want to say sorry for not being as consistent as I would like to be in blogging but life has just been busy happening. We have just been getting by day by day with 3 kids 2 and under. Aaron has been working hard and a lot at his new job, I am so thankful for such a wonderful husband. 

 We scored this jumper (one on the left) on Amazon prime day (one of the many things we were able to score) so now we have two and they love it. Also me drinking my coffee which is a must every morning in my LuLaRoe leggings that are also a must chasing these three. 

 Penelope just loves her dresses, she is telling me to take a picture and send it to her daddy of her pretty dress after we got dressed in the morning. 

 Andrew is just so happy to be here always. He loves his big sister, any attention from her is his favorite. 

 Juliet is our baby with the most personality I think. 

We also just went to the state fair with some family and had some fun, Penelope loved the petting zoo. It was so hot we had to leave before we saw everything. Other than that we are just going day by day chasing babies around since all three are mobile now. Hopefully I can sit down and do some brainstorming on what to blog about soon and get some posts up. Lots of love to you all. 

Month 7 With Twins

Hello my wonderful readers. I cannot believe these twinnies are 7 months old! The time is going by so fast its crazy! I'm starting to think of what to do for their first birthday, its all so exciting! You know I will try to do posts about getting ready for that.

Diaper Size:

Andrew - in size 2 disposables but wearing cloth all the time except occasionally at night a disposable

Juliet - just went up to size 2 disposables, wears cloth all day and wears a disposable with a cloth diaper cover over it at night (this is what works for us that we already had on hand so we have stuck with it for about 5 months now)

Both are still on the first rise snap on their cloth diapers, I might have to split the diapers soon because Andrew may need to move to the next snap soon.

Clothing Size: always depends on the brand and how it fits over a cloth diaper

Andrew -  6 and 6-9 month clothes

Juliet - 3-6 and 6 month clothes

Sleeping:

Andrew - Sleeping through the night in his crib in the kids room with his big sister

Juliet - Sleeping through the night (most nights) in the pack n play in our room still. We tried one night in her crib in the kids room and she was up all night crying, we are going to try again soon. She will not sleep on the pack n play mattress which is flat as a board, thankfully since we have mini cribs for them her crib mattress fits perfect in the pack n play so she does sleep on that so hopefully it will be a little easier to transition soon.

Both take their morning nap in their crib in the kids room together, their afternoon nap is in our room or in the swing at the moment because of big sister being in there it's crazy.

Feeding:

Andrew- Eating 5oz of formula every 2 hours and 7oz in a night time bottle. Eating purees at dinner time from a spoon.

Juliet - Eating 4oz of formula every 2 hours and 7oz in a night time bottle. Eating purees at dinner time from a spoon very good.

Routine: We are still on the same schedule as before.

Firsts: First Overnight Trip & First Father's Day, First 4th of July & First Picnic (see other posts about all of these)

Movements: They are both crawling. They both roll really well to get to where they want to go also.

 Big sister loves her little siblings so much, she cuddles them and covers them up all the time and reads to them while they eat.

 I have to say they are so much more happy than Penelope was when she was a baby, they are pretty smiley majority of the time.

 This bouncer that used to be Penelope has been a lifesaver and they love it. Andrew has also turned into quite the thumb sucker when he is sleepy.

 This is Juliet's very serious look, we laugh every time she does it haha.

Here I am reading them a story before bed because they didn't fall asleep for once while eating their bottle.

Hope you enjoyed this update on them. Lots of Love to you and yours! 

Fourth of July 2017

Hello my wonderful readers. Sorry for the crazy posting schedule, I have just been doing life as a mom. We had an eventful and wonderful 4th of July as a family. We started the day figuring out what we had to wear that was red, white and blue and we all came up with something, below is little Miss Penelope in her cute flag dress with tutu she loved wearing. Right before we left for our picnic at Apple Hill, Penelope decided to climb up on the dining room chair when I turned my back and fell down and hit the high chair arm and blacked her eye. She is just fine just looks really bad but we put ice on it and made sure she was ok before we decided to go to the picnic.

 Here is daddy with Juliet and my view of our picnic. It was wonderful weather in the shade.

 Here are the twins in their red, white and blue. Below is the best picture I could get of the 3 of them haha 2 out of 3 looking is pretty good I guess.

 Boa Vista Orchards is one of our favorite places at Apple Hill they have this neat Instagram thing hanging up to take pictures.

 Me and my baby boy. Daddy with Penelope and apple donuts are our favorite thing to get there.

 When it got to dusk we lit off the one firework we bought and a couple sparklers just with Penelope after we put the babies down for bed, baby monitors are amazing! 

Hope you had a wonderful and safe 4th of July.
