7 Months


My little babies aren't so little anymore. They just turned 7 months and I can't believe it. They are so adorable and growing everyday! It is pretty amazing how different they are and how much they have changed in the 7 months they have been here. I love it, there is nothing like watching someone learn new things every single day.

Lily. Lily is our spitfire. Nothing holds this girl back, seriously, nothing. She has been crawling for over a month now, which seems insane to me. She looks just like a little bulldog when she is crawling, she turns her hands in and scrunches up her face, it is too freaking cute. But, she is all over the place, like seriously all over. And she is fast, I finally told my husband that we HAD to get a baby jail or I was going to lose my mind. Our wonderful baby jail arrived this week and it is heaven! Baby jail is also known as, the gated community, the baby confinement center, and Isabel calls it the baby cage.

Mr. Max. Max is our laid back baby. He is exactly like his daddy. Nothing gets him excited. He isn't overly motivated. He has just started to think about crawling. Once in a while when he thinks no one is watching he will get up on his hands and knees and start rocking, but he doesn't push it. He is such a little sweetie though, he will lean in and give me kisses and he waves too. I never knew how much I would love having a little boy.

All in all, our days are getting easier. Sure, I have days where I feel like I'm going to lose my mind but it is way easier than it was when they were 3 months old. I feel like we are finally getting a hang of this twin thing. They are easier to take out, they eat less often, and they are sleeping much better. Nap time is starting to get a little more consistent, we still have days where it isn't perfect, but that happens. I love watching them grow and seeing them accomplish new things, but at the same time, it breaks my heart that they won't be small forever.

Back to Work.

After over 9 months of being off of work, I'm going back this month.

I have mixed emotions about it. I mean, it's really hard to get super excited about going to work. It's work. But at the same time, I've worked to build a clientele for 4 years before I had the babies and I hated to give it up. There were people that I missed and people that I didn't miss so much.
I don't know how many of my clients, I will still have, since I've been off for so long but I'm hoping to get a good majority back. I'm excited about making money again, I hated not being able to contribute to our household financially and we have lots of projects that we want to accomplish around our house, that it will be nice to have an extra paycheck.

All in all, I think it will be good for me to get out of the house a little more. There are a few things I'm sad about, but the pros outweigh the cons in this situation I think.
