We have really started to find our rythm this month. The girls are taking naps in their room now, and they are starting to fall into a bit of a routine. We just started taking naps in a crib instead of their Rock 'N Plays. Next step; sleeping in their cribs at night! Our typical day looks like this:
Wake up around 9.
Eat. Play. Tummy time. Smiles for Mommy and Big Brother.
Nap until lunch. (Anywhere between 11:30 and 1)
Eat. Play. Tummy time. More smiles.
Nap until dinner. They usually eat around 5:30.
Eat. Play. More tummy time. Hang out while we eat dinner.
Eat around 8:30 or 9.
Bedtime.
Wake up to eat around 3:30.
Wake up to eat around 7.
Start all over.

Most mornings are full of smiles. Even Barrett enjoys trying to get them to smile. It's like a game.
Whoa! These pics were taken at the beginning of the month .....
....can't believe how much they have changed in just a few weeks!
Their personalities have stayed pretty consistent:
Typical Sceanrio. Same Twin, Same Behavior
Tummy time is still a bit of a struggle for us. But we are really trying hard, especially since we found out Payton might have some head issues.
Loves It!
Still Loves It
Finding a Way to Deal With It ....
... But This Usually Happens After Lots of Screaming
Big Brother Comforting Her
And Occaisionally Both Girls are Content at the Same Time
Since the weather is starting to be pretty again, Big Brother and I are spending more and more time outside. Selfishly, it makes me feel a little less trapped in my house all the time. (Not very many places I can go with all 3 kids). And he gets to run, be loud, be messy, and be a little boy without worrying about waking up his sisters.
Picnic Lunch
The craziness of having newborn twins is starting to become my new normal. I feel like I'm starting to be able to manage it ok, but when I stop and think about everything I have to do in a day, it still seems like chaos. And then there are moments like this:
"Mommy's Coming Sweet Girl"
Really? Ugh. I love that sweet boy.
During our trip to Gamma and Poppy's house, the girls met their other great grandmother.
Aunt Lindsey and Jordan joined in the fun too!
Barrett Girls
Maw Maw had 4 great grandsons in a row. Looked like another generation of Barrett men .... Until the girls started to dominate! She now has 4 great granddaughters (little Libby, my kids' second cousin, is not much older than the twins!)
