The babes' 6 month anniversary was Sunday!! (Is it a birthday? An anniversary? Just another day?) In honor of this HALF A YEAR mark, here's some lists...
Things I LOVE about my 6 month olds:
1. They are awake so much more! They take 2 naps a day now, not 14.
2. When they are awake they PLAY!! They play with each other, they play with us, they play with toys, they play with their toes - prescious.
3. They ingest more than breast milk! This has been fun and also made it to the un-posted list of things I spend too much time talking to other moms about and googling. Food is hard, people. Spoons are hard, gag reflexes are hard, clean-up is hard...but mostly, it's fun.
4. When I snuggle them, they snuggle back. This is impossible to describe, and I of course don't have a picture of it, but you know exactly what I mean. They put their chubby little hands on my neck, they rest their chubby little cheeks on my shoulder. Sigh. Maybe this on should have been #1. Love.

5. They "know" us. I'm the love of their lives (as my friend Daisy says), their best friend, basically their fave. I know this will change. I know it's partly because I'm with them 24/7. I know it's mostly because I am their food source. Don't care. I love it.
Things I miss about their younger selves:
1. They used to nap more.
2. They used to stay right where I put them and only lay still.
That's all. Each milestone is awesome! Everyday I think 2 things in crazy person succession. "Never change", then "I can't wait to see who you become". You can't have it both ways. I can't wait to see who they become.
***Most pictures today were of Kate, don't love her more, that's just how it worked out.***
See you soon,
The Fave
Yes! I love how they are becoming their own little selves. And what different personalities they are!! Can't wait to snuggle with them too.....
