Okay, okay. So we really only ever read one book. They haven't told me that they're sick of it yet, so we'll continue to read it over and over and over.

eep! cuteness!

I hope these girls love reading as much as I do! I think we're off to a good start...

this will melt your heart.
there is nothing that melts my heart more than seeing these two little girls start to love each other. more and more every day!
this is the first time I got it on camera.
having twins is such an amazing blessing! how did I get so lucky?!
and on that note:
our waiter at chili's on Friday night looked at me and Joel and the babies and said,
"Wow...I feel really sorry for you...."
and to him I say: I feel sorry for YOU! you have no idea what you're missing out on!

operation "crib sleepers"
operation crib sleepers was finally put into action last night.
for the past two weeks I've had this conversation with joel:
"tonight the girls are going to sleep in the crib for the first time..."
"ok"
then come around 8:00, this decision starts to look less and less appealing. I start getting tired, babies start getting fussy, and mama just wants some peace and quiet. which means just putting them in the car seats and having them sleep without a peep for the next 9 hours.
at which point I tell joel, "actually I'm going to do it tomorrow night because...
...we need to wait for the weekend,
...we need to get a bumper for the crib,
...they had a hard day,
...I had a hard day,
...the crib is too big,
...actually, the crib is too small,
...actually, we need two cribs,
...they need sleepsacks,
...they need a glowing seahorse..."
but alas, I motivated myself enough by reading sad stories of babies that died sleeping in their carseats (thanks, google).
so last night was rough. and mama is VERY tired today.
but....they did it!
emsley slept through the night like a champ. summer put up a good struggle but ended up falling back asleep when she woke up at 2 and then again at 4.
the first night is the hardest, right? tonight is going to be better than last night, right? RIGHT??!?!?!
and I never thought I'd say this, but that glowing seahorse? best purchase ever.
and an update on this morning's nap: turns out that sleeping next to a pillow is much more enjoyable than sleeping next to something that won't stop tossing and turning and kicking

"they look like Joel!"
to all those wondering who the girls take after, I leave you this:
a picture of me around 6 months:
look a little familiar? :)
(I need to get a baby picture of Joel for a real comparison!)

4 months old!
We love them so much!
(Emsley on right in all of them)
4 months and....
Eating 5-6 times a day now
Sleeping from about 8:30-6 without a peep (YAY!)
Smiles every day! Except when my camera is out...seriously, these smiles are elusive!! Its driving me crazy that I can't get it on camera!
Getting super strong! They hold themselves upright like little champs!
They can roll over from tummy to back when they get mad enough, but not from back to tummy just yet. I'm sure its right around the corner!
