6 Months, a lil Good Luck...and Faith!

6 Months Old...I can hardly believe it! In the beginning people told me that time would fly by. I didn't quite believe them because time seemed to be at a stand still. But now? Oh yes...I most certainly believe them and agree.

The boys had their 6 months check up and it went very well. Both weighed in at 20 lbs 1 oz and they are both 28 inches long. We definitely have some BIG boys on our hands! The only bummer about the appt was that we were told that both boys need a DOC Band...aka helmet. Their poor lil heads are just so flat...something that seems to be common among twins. They have their first appointment tomorrow...I just pray that our insurance covers them, fingers crossed!

As far as their accomplishments, they can now hold their bottles with very little assistance, they can sit up (although both are very wobbly), both are rolling around like crazy, AND....they are sleeping through the night...EVERY NIGHT! GLORY!!!

We have continued introducing new foods and I have to admit, the greatest thing about people food is watching the hilarious faces they make when trying a new food. Christian hates peas and Caleb hates carrots...I found this out after they both gaged and barfed...not only on day one but day two as well. LOL! I know, its mean to laugh but it was a lil funny. Needless to say I have not given them those two foods again. Maybe in a few months.  :)

 
 
St. Patty's Day was this month and the boys dressed for the occasion (they are half Irish after all). I bought them such cute lil outfits and could not wait to dress them. What I wasn't expecting was for them to be in such bad moods pretty much all day long. I was doubting that I would get any cute pictures at all, BUT...they surprised me! I'd have to say that these sweet lil boys of mine are my good luck charms. They bring me such happiness and joy...some days I can't even remember what my life was like without them. Life has definitely been sweeter with them in it.


In other non Cassidy news,  my dear sweet friend Susan gave birth to her first baby, FAITH! I cannot begin to express how excited and happy I am for her and her husband. They are going to be great parents and I cannot wait to meet their sweet lil one. I have to admit...It brought me back to the day the boys were born and the first month of their life. While their birth was the best day of my life, that first month was freakin' hard!! I look back and really don't know how I survived...I actually can't remember most of it...I was exhausted and in survival mode. All I can say is that I'm glad I made it through the first few months of their life, Eric and the boys included!
