This month was hilarious. I'm going to talk about them each individually first because they are so different! Then I will talk about them together 😀
Ladies first! Let's talk about Londyn Mae. She is my chatty Kathy! This month she has really upped her babbling game. Her favorite thing to do right now is blow raspberries and make razzing sounds... and get spit everywhere!! She does it all the time. After eating. During nap. When she wakes up. When shes playing. She literally has a little rash on her chin because it's constantly wet with spit 🙄 She has also started babbling "dada" and "mama" which is so stinking cute! She is crawling.... unfortunately it's only backwards right now. But man can she cross a room in reverse! 😂😂 Also, she can sit unassisted.. but she chooses not to. When on her mat with a toy in front of her, she will sit and play for a minute, then throw herself backwards and play with it with her feet. If I'm sitting behind her, she thinks it's hilarious to fall back on me and for me to push her back up. She will crack up.. it's her favorite game! So we say she has the ability, but not the desire. And honestly I would expect nothing less from my little independent diva!
Xander. IS. WILD. Y'all.. when I say he is all boy. HE IS ALL BOY. His favorite thing to do right now is jump. If he's put in his bouncer or Einstein activity center he will jump for a good 40 minutes non stop. He also loves being thrown in the air and slammed down (not SLAMMED but you know what I mean) onto the bed. When you hold him he will pinch, grab, slap, kick, try to jump, etc.! He loves to grab both sides of your face and pull it towards his to make you give him a kiss. He is a lover.. but an aggressive one for sure 😆. He also LOVES dogs. All dogs, but especially his! Every time Piglet walks by him or sniffs his face, he smiles so big! He loves petting her and will scream in her direction to call her over to him. He is an expert sitter. I can sit him down on the mat and walk away to do something else and he will just sit and play contently without falling until I get him. He is trying to crawl but mainly it's just flailing about really really fast 😂😂 He is absolutely crazy and I'm predicting lots of grey hairs in the near future!
One of the biggest challenges this month has been their sleeping. I have become more lenient with their nap times because they are sleep trained so I figured it was just teething or a developmental thing, so I got into a habit of getting them up from nap when they cried, even if they still had like 30 minutes left. It was working fine until it wasn't. Slowly but surely it got to the point where we went from taking 2 hour naps to taking like 45 minute naps. This threw our schedule totally off to the point that we were done with all our naps by like 4pm and they were supposed to make it to 7pm bedtime (yeah right). So naturally they were going to bed earlier and earlier.. even being put to bed by like 6:10pm. Of course this made for an early wake up (6am instead of 7am) which made the day all wacky. So because of my lack of consistency I'm now having to do some retraining in the sleep department! This morning they wanted to get up at 5:15am y'all. Hell to the NO! So I had to listen to them cry for almost an hour.. which was so hard on my heart because I haven't had to do that in months. BUT they did go back to sleep and slept until our 7am wake up time and now our day is right on track! So I definitely need to do a better job of staying consistent with that.
Overall this month was wonderful! Next month is their 9 month well check, and Will and my 7 year wedding anniversary! We are in the process of planning their 1st birthday party (whaaaat!!) and are excited for the twins to experience many pool days this summer! Stay tuned 😉
