7 Month Old Twins!

{Nursery details here}

To my beautiful children,

You are SEVEN MONTHS OLD. How do I have 7-month-old twins?! I mean, I blinked, and then we’re here and you’re perfectly perfect and life is so good right now. The joy you have brought into our house is a joy I didn’t know existed. It was just yesterday that we found out we were pregnant with you…right?! Or that you were born? We are in the easy phase of babyhood because you’re not mobile yet and you’re on the most amazing schedule. As soon as you start crawling, all I can say is that I’m allowed to eat a dozen donuts each day because mama is going to burn a lot of calories chasing you two around. So it’s kind of a win/win! I love donuts.

There are so many precious moments that I want to remember with you two angels. I rocked you to sleep a couple weeks ago, Harris. I don’t normally do this because I think it’s important that you learn to fall asleep on your own, but you’re only small once. You’re only my chubby baby boy for such a short time. I held you and listened to you breathe and I closed my eyes and tried to memorize the moment because it went by much too fast for my mama heart.

There are so many things that I don’t want to forget. I write down as many as I can think of on my phone when I think of them so I don’t forget. Here are few:

• Harris – Your face in the hot tub for the first time with your dad was pure sunshine. I loved seeing you sit on your daddy’s lap, so proud to be with him.
• Goldie – I can already see a lot of patience in your sweet little personality. You’re feisty, but you always let your brother eat first. You don’t cry when you wake up in the morning or from your nap. You lay there and talk to yourself happily, and wait for mama to come get you. You kick your legs so hard and fast and give me the biggest, most joyous smile when you see me walk in. Oh, how you adore me. The feeling is mutual, my girl.
• Harris – I love your low laugh. You have been laughing a lot more lately and your smile is so sweet and so precious and lights up the room.
• Goldie – You will randomly start laughing when I least expect it! You and I laugh so hard back and forth with each other. Your belly laugh is one of my favorite sounds in the whole world.
• Harris – I was downstairs getting your bottles ready for your last feeding of the day, and I could hear you squealing with delight as your dad bathed you and Goldie. It makes me so happy that you love your dad with all of your heart. You don’t smile as big at or look at anyone with more adoration than him. You snuggle in to his chest and lay your head on his shoulder almost every time he holds you.
• Goldie – You can touch Harris, but sometimes lately, if Harris so much as touches your shoulder, you squeal and scream! You little rascal. It makes me laugh every time.
• Harris – Your lay your arm and your hand over your eyes when we are feeding you your bottles. You’re the sweetest boy.

You’re my little buddies and I love going anywhere with both of you because you’re my sidekicks and I love to see you discover the world. I love looking into your eyes when we are at the grocery store and watch you discover all of the colors and shapes around you. Goldie, you love to look at me and smile and talk. Harris, you get kind of quiet and very observant. Your little souls are SO PRECIOUS TO ME!!!

You’re everything I dreamed of and much, much more.

I love you, babies!
