Mommy Mode

People ask me all the time, "How is life with twins?" Motherhood is motherhood no matter how many kids you have. You start doing things that probably make you look a little crazy. I was telling my sister about some of the odd habits I have picked up and she thought they were much funnier than I did and told me I should blog about it. So, Rachel, this is for you.

This conversation happened during Sacrament Meeting while both girls were sleeping.
Dallin: "I'm tired."
Me: "We'll get you home, feed you, and put you to bed."

No, I was not trying to be comical and as soon as I said it I realized what I said and Dallin and I both had a terrible case of the giggles during Sacrament Meeting.

I'm so used to holding a baby in my arms and every once in a while leaning over to give her a kiss on the head that I've started kissing anything in my hands. I've kissed straws, forks, bottles...etc. Dallin finds this very entertaining and keeps a tally of everything that I've kissed subconsciously.

Am I completely crazy?

Thug Babies!

The girls all bundled up for a walk. Don't they look like little thugs? Although, I don't think thugs come even close to being this cute.

I ran upstairs to grab my shoes and when I can back down poor little Avery was blinded.

Halloween

A Witch, Vampire, and their 2 peas in a pod!

Avery does smile...I promise!

After reading the last couple posts, I realized I made poor Avery look like Scrooge! She is a very happy baby and smiles all the time, she is just a little camera shy. I did however manage to catch one of her beautiful smiles!

Today is looking good!

So far today I have: fed the girls, bathed the girls, played with the girls, put the girls down for a nap, exercised, showered, did my hair (!), put on makeup (!!), picked out an actual outfit (not sweatpants), and even put on earings all before noon! I actually feel like a human being!

Why Hello There!

Isabella is getting so good at holding up her head!

(This picture is about 2 weeks old, you should see her now!)

Avery on the other hand...She's still working on it.

(This picture was also taken 2 weeks ago, but not much has changed)If you saw the size of Avery's head compared to her body you would understand the delay. She gets it from her parents, we both have huge heads!

Drama Queen

It's crazy how different Avery and Isabella are already. Isabella is such a drama queen! She is happy and laughing most of the time, but when she's hungry or tired....oh man, she is mad! There really isn't anything in between. She also LOVES the camera. She thinks the flash is hilarious.

Avery on the other hand is more relaxed. It takes a lot more to make her mad and a lot more to make her excited. She's too cool for school and spends most of the day with a smirk on her face. When the camera comes out she just looks at me like...what the heck are you doing.

Here's some examples. These pictures were taken one after the other. Notice the difference between Avery's expression and Isabella's from picture to picture (Isabella on the left, Avery on the right) -- Sorry about the quality, I didn't realize I sized them down so small....

And another example.... (Isabella on the right, Avery on the left)

This is my favorite...they are holding hands. How cute is that!
