4 months

Caleb has been speaking so much lately.  Just constantly chatting away. Kaitlyn babbles a bit too, and I sometimes find them chatting to eachother. It's pretty cute. I'm sure they'll have their own language in no time.

So the biggest thing this month.... sleep regression. They went from sleeping great at night, to being little terrors. It's been very emotionally and mentally draining. They do so well during the day, and take such great naps, but as soon as bedtime rolls around the screaming starts. And it goes on for hours and hours. Daniel and I go back and forth all night. Argh!! Definitely not a fan of this. Hopefully it doesn't last forever.

These 2 are growing so fast. I have been so blessed to be able to exclusively breastfeed them with no supplementing. Its been such a financial blessing, and so rewarding knowing that all those chubbs is because of my magic milk. I struggled so much with Lyla, that I wasn't sure I'd be able to do it with the twins. But it's amazing what the body can do. I hope that it'll continue for several more months to come.

Lyla continues to be a big help. She loves her siblings so much. She loves to snuggle up against them, and on several occasions I've walked into a room to see her trying to calm them from crying. She's just the sweetest girl, and the twins have no idea how lucky they are to have her as a big sister.

Lyla really wanted to read to the twins.

 Daniel bought this shirt for me for when I go shopping, as an answer to all the silly comments I get.

 Caleb wouldn't let me put him down, but I really wanted to get my workout in. My workout put him to sleep.

 They hold hands all the time. Brings me so much joy.

Memorial Day

I love holidays where Daniel gets off work. Sometimes I feel like we just don't get enough of him.

We spent the morning at the park, and enjoyed a picnic lunch. It was the twins first real day at the park. Lyla had so much fun. She's not very daring, and gets scared easily. But Daniel showed her how to climb on some of the big toys, and she did so good. At first she wasn't so sure and didn't want to try, but after a little help and encouragement,  she made it and was so proud of herself. 

Lyla is also really shy, and doesn't talk to people she doesn't know. Actually she won't even talk to people she does know. So I was totally blown away when she walked up to a girl her age whom she didn't know and asked if she wanted to play. That is so not my girl. 

The twins enjoyed looking at their new surroundings as we chilled under a tree. I think they enjoyed watching the sun dance through the leaves and branches. It was just nice to be out with the family.

Later that night we went over to Daniel's parents for dinner. His Aunt and Uncle were visiting,  and they blessed us by taking some amazing family pictures. It was mostly spur of the moment, so I couldn't plan outfits, but I think they turned out really good reguardless.
