Six months ago I was running errands with my dad and step mom at this exact moment. We had gone to the DMV, the grocery store and lunch. We were headed back to our house and I was planning out that nights dinner menu. I made crab enchiladas (with real crab, none of that canned crap) that night. A typical day by normal standards, but this was no typical day. I was 37 weeks and 6 days pregnant with the twins and that would be my last hot meal for many months to come. I'm still waiting for the day to come that I can enjoy a meal while it's still piping hot.
It doesn't seem possible that six months have gone by since our lives were changed (for the better) forever.
I never thought I would have a picture like this one. They were just hours old here.
This photo pretty much says it all about their personalities. She is sweet as can be and mellow, just like her daddy. He is sweet as can be but has his mommies temper.
They are so incredible and watching them grow right before my eyes is astonishing. My little bug has gone from a tiny little 5lb 10oz newborn to this 15lb stunning baby with blue eyes and a smile that can light up the darkest of rooms.
I can't even tell you how many times people have asked me the age difference between them. I know he's big, but come on, he's obviously not a year older than his sister. This "little" guy has never been tiny and continues to grow at rapid speed! He warms my heart and challenges my patience every single day but I wouldn't change a single thing about him. He is ticklish beyond belief and has a laugh that can make anyone smile!
As we enter the holiday season, there are so many things I am looking forward to. Creating our own traditions while carrying on some from our families, sending out family photo Christmas cards and cutting down our first tree as a family just to name a few. 2013 has been a year of firsts and I cannot wait for all the other firsts we have yet to experience!
