Milestones

I have a few tidbits to fill everyone in on from the past month or so, so here goes. Almost exactly at the four month mark the babies started to notice each other and it is positively the cutest thing I have ever witnessed. Both boys are rolling 360s across the floor to get from one side of the room to the other (and have been for a long while) and they are also starting to hold the weight from the front of their bodies on their arms, Brennan more so than Carter. You can tell that once they get their butts up in the air over their knees they are going to be on the move, and fast!

They each have their bottom two front teeth in the beginning phases of coming in and the drooling has officially begun. The babies are starting to try to hold their own bottles. Carter is my little conversationalist and Brennan is my mover and shaker; definitely starting to see two very different personalities forming.

We started solids off this last week and the boys quite thoroughly enjoy their meal time, but are also still really digging the bottle.

Life is also starting to settle down a bit and things are getting easier to handle as both boys have started to sleep through the night some nights. The nights they don't, they typically will only wake once for a bottle and I think Kevin and I are going to break them of that before too long if they don't do it on their own.

They love sucking on blankies, so for Christmas Santa is bringing them each their very own taggie blanket and matching linky squeak toy. Evan is getting a train table with the works and a bunch of Thomas engines and accessories. He also will have a new Thomas dvd in his stocking along with plenty of treats, a new Elmo toothbrush, some Crayons, a few wooden cars, a few Hot Wheels cars and the list goes on.

Today I'm beginning to feel refreshed from my busy life and for the first time in a while and I am reminded how lucky I am to have such a beautiful family. We are so blessed and I can't wait to put up the Christmas decorations to help spread even more cheer and goodwill around our house. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
