Another Month Older

The boys are 6 months old...where has the time gone?! They are growing up so fast. The boys have started solids and are enjoying them! Kipton has a tooth and Coleson has 2 on the way in. Both boys roll both ways and are belly sleepers, despite their mother's insistence on rolling them back over every time she passes by. We are enjoying their smiles and laughter and the complete feeling they bring to our little, while maybe not so little family ;)!

Thing 1: Kipton

Thing 2: Coleson

Getting ready to eat! (Taken on my phone hence the grainy nature :/)

Things We Love...Part IV

1. Summer Infant Babytouch Video Monitor. This was a big splurge for us, but well worth it. This monitor is AWESOME! We ordered it from Diapers.com; we had a problem with the battery on the first one, so they switched it out for a new one without any problems. We have 2 cameras, one for each boy mounted on the wall! The boys are movers and travel around the crib, so this monitor is perfect because it pans and zooms!

2. Nuby IcyBite Teether Keys. The boys are teething and have been for a while. These keys are very cool because they stay colder much longer!

3. Bath time. The boys LOVE bath time, they just kick, kick, kick, and splash, splash, splash. We have a simple, inexpensive tub that we had with Mini, but it's perfect because it came with a sling for when they were really little.

4. American Red Cross Infant Scale. With the boys in NICU, I was very accustomed to receiving daily weight updates. When I came home and didn't have that update, I became obsessive about their weight and bought this scale. I wasn't worried about the fact that it did or did not match the doctor's scale exactly, but more that I could see growth each day! This scale does the job.

5. Green Toys. These toys are made out of recycled plastic and super durable. We have two green toys. Mini has the tea set and the boys have the tug boat! The tug boat is super cute; it has a grate on top to allow water in and spout at the front of the boat so you can use it to rinse small bodies!

The Anti-Resolution Resolution

So this year, Will and I, mostly me, vowed not to make a New Year's Resolution. I always make 2-3 resolutions; the first one is usually to "get in shape." Now let's get real...I have managed to do very little exercise for the last 20+ years, so why in the world would I make a promise that I know I will not keep! The second resolution usually aligns with my project of the moment. This year there are a few things that I would like to do, but being a realist and becoming increasingly aware of how badly I feel when I stretch myself too thin, I have decided to not make any promises, rather to do the best I can! Please know that I'm not "settling," but setting more attainable goals!

PS. As I'm reading this post to Will he laughs and chimes in, "my resolution is to win the lottery!" Will LOVES to listen to financial advisors and has heard that statistically people believe that the only way to get rich is to win the lottery; however he and I both agree that the only way to be successful is to work and play hard. We both work hard during the week and play hard on the weekend. We are so blessed by our numerous blessings...number 1, 2, and 3 blessings in no particular order being the 3 beautiful children that bring us so much joy. We feel rich already!
