These two!! Do I really have 7-month-old twins? Time goes too quickly. I am sometimes at a loss for words at describing how special my time with them is. I don’t take for granted how quickly these baby and toddler years are going to fly by. I like that we can stay in our PJ’s all day if we just aren’t up for getting ready. I like that we read books and the twins laugh at the silliest little sounds and faces that I make. I love that they light up when I walk into their nursery to get them out of the cribs after nap time. I love to see them discover new sounds with their mouths and watch as they look at new things. I love all of the little details of our lives right now. I often think of how different our home was just one short year ago. There was a lot of love then, but oh, the joy and love that have come with these two! The laughter and joy they bring fills every corner and square inch of our home. Tyler and I are absolutely smitten.
This day in the life post cracks me up because it happened to be a particularly difficult day! Lots of cleaning up throw up and poop. Ha! It’s funny because I have been thinking lately how easy these two are at this stage. They’re not mobile yet so I’m not having to follow them around the yet, and they’re on a great schedule. And then the day that I decided to film this little day in the life at 7 months, they decided to give me a run for money! I sure love them. It’s funny because I’d rather be cleaning up their throw up and poop than doing any other job in this world.

I love your day in the life posts! Goldie and Harris are just so cute and you’re such a good mama to them. I had a similar day today with my 4 1/2 month old twins (also a boy and a girl). Some days are just so challenging! I’m like you – I like to get dressed and ready every day so I don’t scare myself if I look in the mirror, lol. Today I didn’t even have a chance to brush my hair! Luckily mine have an early bedtime so I had a long shower and did a face mask this evening. I’m exhausted but I’m with you – there’s nothing else I’d rather spend my days doing than raising my babies 🙂

I love it!! Nothing better than a long shower and pampering yourself after a long day. You sound like an amazing mother!!

I love seeing your precious babies. I have a 2 month old girl and I have 2 older boys, 6 and 8. I have seem to forgotten all about sleep schedules and what I did. Would you mind sharing how you got your 2 sleeping so well? They seem to be happy babies!

Hi, i really like these videos. It is good to see how other mommies do the things with their babies. But you seem to do it specially well!! I have a question (because it’s not shown in the video). How do you put your babies to sleep at night? I mean, do you wrap them or do you give them their pacifiers? Or maybe you put them their pacifiers in the middle of the night?
My 7 month old baby goes to sleep very well and easy but since two weeks ago he wake up very often during The night. I’m starting to think that maybe it is because of the pacifier, because he didn’t like it before and now yes. And if you put the pacifier in his mouth he goes back to sleep. And then, he wake up an hour later again and again! 🙁 I don’t know if it would be better to stop using it. But I don’t know how to do it.
Sorry for The speach:)
Your babies are so cute and sweet, congrats!

Hello! We wrap them in their SwaddleMe swaddles (I linked them under “Shop” and “My Babies”) then put in their pacifier and lay them in their crib. Then they fall asleep on their own. We love the swaddles! Their pacifiers sometimes fall out and we may need to put Harris’ back in about about 7 am but they are usually pretty good. Maybe try not using it for a few nights so your baby gets used to sleeping without it? Wishing you the best!!
