Goodbye mullets (sort of) - where is time going?




Kailia's Befores


Kailia's After

Paislee Before

Kailia's hair was about an inch longer than Paislee's

Paislee and Kailia got their first haircut last Wednesday. Their hair was so long and very mullett-ish. My good friend Tiffany was able to do it. Paislee wanted nothing to do with it, cried, and finally I had to hold her. Kailia,however, was loving the attention. She sat pretty still and by herself in the chair. I got more pictures of Kai because my arms were free. It was hilarious, as soon as we got in the salon Kailia headed right to the hair dryer chair, picked up a magazine and sat down and relaxed. That's my girl!

I don't like to label them as one way or the other because they are always changing. Especially roles. In the past, Paislee has bitten Kailia countless times and hit her and pushed her down. Roles reversed this week. Kailia has bitten Paislee 3 times this past week- even leaving a purple and red bite mark on her back! She has been terrorizing Pais every single day. I feel so bad, but it comes with the territory of twins!

As newborns, I would always say I'd take another set in a heartbeat. Now that they are approaching the terrible two's, I'd like to retract my statement. They are such a handful! I took them to Story Time at the Library while Bella was at Preschool. One would run up and play with the display, so while I grabbed that one, the other would run up. After 15 minutes I gave up. We got our books and went home.



First tub bath in NICU (no cords or tubes! 2 weeks old!)


This is them straight from their nap. Note that Kailia's clothes are all off except one sock.

Time is really flying by. I look at pictures of my twins in the NICU and it feels like weeks, not months ago. While I miss them being tiny, I love seeing their personalities develop. I love to observe their learning. They are turning into the cutest little girls!

Cuteness. First haircut, ah! That is always so sad. I'll bet it has flown, Lynds. You are so busy with them! What a handful that must be!

I thought of you the other day when another child Jackson's age came to play for a few hours (he's 2 and 1/2). It was SO precious--- for a few hours that is;). But then I think about double diapers all day long. Double baths. Double bedtime. Double cleanup after eating...

And I sympathize with you! But for just a couple hours of cute lisps and chubby faces and big blue eyes-- I was in heaven.

And I thought of you.

I think you are so wonderful and strong. I am glad you have another coming and as always, I wish I were there to help!

Love you Lynds.

Was this rambling enough???

Now backsie! You promised us a nother set of Twinies! I'm holding you to it!

TOOOO late!

Maybe if you did not make it look soooo easy & effortlessly, we would feel for you. We were shocked to find out, the twins were a handful! Ha-ha your an awesome mommy!

Cute pics in green!

You should come to Story Time with us. I can help with toddler control since my little boy is shy and just sits on the chair, keeping to himself most of the time :) Let me know when you're ready to try again...
