There have been many a late night that I have started blogging and someone starts crying...so I will admit I have attempted to write on a couple of occasions, but it seems like tonight (12:30 am) I may actually be able to finish a blog update...
Let's see...where do I begin...that last post was a video taken at my brother's house. That was our first road trip (3 hours) and the kids did great. We stayed the weekend and got much needed rest, believe it or not. We all (including Ben, Gena and Bennett) spent most of our time sleeping when the babies slept.
Since then we have had, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. I will just post some pictures during those times.
This is close to their 4 month birthday.

This was their 3 month picture that I never posted. OOPS.
Baby Sean and Mommy...The twins are growing so fast. At their 4 month check up, they each weighed 12 lbs. and were 23 inches long. I would say that Sean has changed, as far as looks go, the most. You wouldn't recognize him in his newborn pictures. He looks like a totally different baby. He is very happy and rarely cries. Alexa has more hair now, but still not enough to do anything with. She is full of smiles as long as she is not tired. She has to have her two 2-3 hour naps a day with two catnaps in between. Beauty sleep I call it. They are both really good nappers; no complaints there.
They just turned 5 months this week and we have started rice cereal. They love it. I knew it was time because they started waking up at 2 am to eat and were eating very frequently during the day. Yes...I am still nursing. I can't believe it either. It is very time consuming but I think this will be my last month. On a good night, they have their last feeding at 9:30pmish and go to bed around 10:30pm then they both wake up around 4am, eat and go straight back to sleep until about 7:00am. Both can roll from tummy to back and they just started pushing up all the way on their hands. They talk alot. Alexa wakes us up every morning talking/singing. It really sounds like she is singing. She has recently been saying "uh -uh". Sean likes to make "oh" sounds. Put those together and they say "uh-oh". They turn take really well when they interact. I guess that is the cool thing about twins; their communication skills are usually way advanced, since they always have someone to imitate, have eye contact with and listen to. Oh ya, Sean also loves to scream like a girl. Yes, I am talking about ear piercing yelps, especially when I am on the phone. It is sooooooo much fun now getting to interact with them. They both absolutely love reading books. They are really good scanners and will listen and pay attention to an entire Dr. Seuss book. That is how I get them both to fall asleep AT THE SAME TIME for their naps. It took me FOREVER to figure that out.
They really miss thier Tia Stefanie since she is in Uruguay (studying abroad). :( It is neat when we Skype with her because they get to see her on the computer and they both smile and talk to her in the microphone.
I am soooo tired right now and can barely keep my eyes open...I'm sorry if this post kind of jumps around all over the place and has poor spelling...I usually write better than this...but I just have so much to catch up on...it is now 1am and I need to get some sleep tonight. I hope I will be able to post more often now that they are getting older...but we will see. Goodnight. V
