Nap times are so unpredictable in this household. Sometimes I will get a lovely 1-2 hour nap from the twins in either the morning or afternoon, other times they won't nap for more than 3o minutes for either nap. It is so frustrating! Of course, they always seem to take awesome naps during the weekends and save their sucky naps for me when I'm home alone. It's impossible to get anything accomplished during the week, when I have no idea what nap time is going to be like.

Isabel was this same way when she was a baby, she didn't start to take good, long naps on a regular basis until she was well over a year old. I'm so hoping Max and Lily can figure it out sooner than that. I feel like we are constantly struggling over sleep, night time sleep is just as frustrating as naps. Some nights we will get an awesome night and no one will wake until morning, then the next two nights they will each be up at least twice. I'm struggling trying to come up with someway to make it more consistent, but no matter how many things I try nothing seems to help. I guess we just have to go with the flow at this point. We have done everything in our power to help them sleep better. I know this is a phase, we dealt with the same issues with Isabel but it is hard. And it is twice as hard with two babies. I love sleep, I just don't understand why my kids don't.

This is a rambling post (sleep deprived! remember?!) and I need to go tend to my babies, who aren't napping (imagine that!).

Growing up

I can't believe it, my babies are 6 months old. Where does time go? They are changing so much, I love watching them grow and change but at the same time it breaks my heart. They aren't those tiny little babies we brought home from the hospital anymore.

They have finally slept through the night, which was amazing. They aren't consistently sleeping through the night yet, but at least we know they can! Isabel still loves them, although, she loves Lily the most. Max is my baby and Lily is her baby, she tells me this daily. If I call Lily my baby, I get corrected that No, she is not.

Lily is crawling, she is going to be our determined child, if she sees something she wants she goes after it. Max isn't crawling, he is rolling all around the living room, but hasn't thought about crawling yet.

Everyday continues to get easier, we still have hectic, crazy days but that's life with multiples I guess.

Project 365

Last year after I got my camera I heard about the project 365, where you take a picture every day for a year. I thought it would be a fun little project but I was so sick with morning sickness and just being pregnant with twins was hard enough that I decided not to do it. So I am doing it this year. So far, so good, but we are only 3 days in. Anyways, I opened a new blog to post all my pictures at.
