Hooray!!

Alex (L) and Keegan

Today was a big day for us. The girls received their LAST Synagis shots. I am so happy about it. My heart breaks each time they get the shots. They really did take it like champs this time. There was definitely a decent amount of crying, but afterward, they took their bottles, naps and played like nothing had happened. I hope that is the case tonight too.

It's crazy that the girls will be nine months old this week. Rob and I were chatting last night and it is amazing how things have changed in the past couple of weeks. The girls are smiling, laughing and moving around like crazy. They are thisclose to crawling. I think we could say they are crawling, but they only go one scoot and then fall.

I feel like we are at such a great point. A few months ago, I felt so exhausted and tired and basically fed up. Feels terrible to say that now, but man, these girls wore us out! At first, I felt a little cheated...not getting to have a "normal" pregnancy. I felt like we were at such a low point. Now, I feel like it was worth it a million times over. I can't get over how much I love these girls. I am so glad that I have two babies...I can't imagine only having one. They are truly amazing little pumpkins!

Lenten Promises...

I can't believe how time flies. Ash Wednesday and the Lenten season is coming. Now, I don't go to church nearly as much as I should be. I do want to go more often, but I don't want to take the girls...they would either cry or pick up too many germs =). But, I have been trying to figure out what I want to sacrifice and give up. Every year I seem to give up the same thing...soda or coffee or swearing. I can usually give these things up for the season, but always hop back on the train.

This year is different. Giving up caffeine is NOT an option. I already gave up my every day Starbucks when I quit working. I don't get as much sleep as I need, I need caffeine for my own sanity. I guess that would make it a true sacrifice, but man...I am not that good =)

This year I am going to do something...not give something up (except I am thinking about giving up chocolate too). I am going to start working out, 3 days a week. I am nervous about this because actually getting to the gym has been tough for me. Before the pregnancy, I went all the time...but that was a long time ago. I am nervous, but am hoping to succeed.

So wish me luck...

So proud!!

Alex is so happy!!
My little Keegan

I feel like my little girls are growing so fast. I sort of want to slow it down...crazy, I know since a few months ago I was dying for them to get big! The girls are really starting to develop their own little personalities. I still can't believe they are the same babies we brought home. They have just grown by leaps and bounds...

Keegan is just such a happy and smiley baby. She has been sick the past few weeks, but she is finally starting to feel like herself. She is rolling around too and just this morning she rolled from her back to her tummy!! We are so proud of her.

Alex is ALL over the place. Rolling around like a crazy person. She is too funny. She is ALWAYS trying to steal things from Keegan. It's so funny. During the day, when I am feeding them at the same time. She always tries to grab Keegan's bottle away...even though she has one! She is a such a smiler too!

Both the girls are trying to crawl. They get up on their little knees and try so hard, but usually just crash! They both love hanging with Daddy and talking football. It's funny, Rob acts like a commentator and the girls think it's hilarious.

Oh...and biggest news of all....The girls are (sort of) starting to sleep through the night!! Two nights without feedings..wahooo!!! There is a little bit of crying, but we try and do a bit of soothing/cry it out...hopefully we are the road to sleepiness!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! We are having a pretty lazy day at home, which I love about Saturdays. Hopefully I will have some photos to post soon...but in the mean time. I wish I was with my whole family to celebrate the love day. They are the people that I love the most...my parents, sissies, nephews and nieces and brothers in law. I am truly blessed to have them all in my life.

Their mother's daughters...

8 months old!

Oh my goodness! I can't believe the girls are 8 months old today. They are getting so big! I truely feel so blessed to have the girls. We have hit a rough patch this week with a really bad cough and snotty nose, but they are just amazing still. Their little laughs make my days. Happy 8 month birthday my little girlies! love you so much!

Caught them!

So cute...Keegan and Alex fell asleep together in the same crib. They have never done that. I couldn't get a really good picture of it though! It was dark and I couldn't see a darn thing!

Also, Alx kicked butt today with her eating of carrots! Keegan wasn't too interested, but that's okay, she will get there!
