Grandma Carol is in Town

Kevin's mom is here visiting for a week. Aria loves her and it's so cute to see them play together. She has always connected really well with Aria. Jamie also seems taken with her, he fell asleep on her shoulder twice!

Yesterday we went over to Aunt Amy's for Tom's birthday. The boys got to meet Aunt Deirdre and Cousin Clare for the first time. They also wore jean for the first time and looked adorable!

Patch Rolls Over!!!

Not to be outdone by his little brother, my big boy Patrick has up and surprised us all. This actually happened 2 days ago to be fair, he was just 2 days behind. Let the competition begin!! lol

Go Patch go! Mama loves you!

I think he's ahead in who's going to laugh first. He actually makes noises that are "this" close to a chuckle…might even count!

Until next time xo,
Rosie

Twins are 3 months old (plus some)

Well hello again. My big boys are so grown up. I can't believe we are nearing the end of the summer already! Everyday they grow and change. I feel so blessed to witness this in my life. Two perfect little boys that I get to watch become little people. How lucky am I?

Right now Patrick is sitting in Aria's highchair. He loved to sit in it and look around. I usually set hom in the highchair and Jamie in the Bumbo (on the table shhhh). Jamie can already hold his head up so he likes the Bumbo, Patch's head is heavier maybe haha, my big boy.

Patch makes the cutest cooing sounds. He opens his mouth huge and just kind of makes a croaking noise in the back of his throat. He is so quick to give a smile. He loves it when you look into his eyes. He would stare all day into yours if you had the time. He likes to take catnaps all day long. He doesn't go to bed until at least 12am every night and sleeps in in the morning, sometimes til 12pm! Of course with a snack break at 4am and 8am. Last night both Patch and Jamie slept til 5am which was great!

Jamie is my little wiggle worm, (or wiggle wart as Yaya says). He is so strong and always kicking of anything he can touch with his legs. I would be surprised if he rolls over very soon. He is also super smily. It's the cutest thing ever when Jamie look up at me while nursing and catches my eye. He lets go and gives me a huge toothless grin, like he knows he's in the happiest place in the word. Jamie is the complete opposite of Patch in his sleeping schedule. He like to take two long, like 3 hour naps in the day and he goes to sleep easily at 930pm. He is an early riser, bright eyed and ready for the day at 7am. I wonder if they will keep these traits as they get older. Last night Jamie slept 930pm-5am, 7.5 hours, I'll take it.

Both boys are in size 2 diapers now and officially in 6 month clothes, though I squeeze them into particularly cute 3 month ones. It causes my fatty boy to took a bit stuffed in hehe.

Both boys are still completely bald. Alas my babies were not meant to have hair. I figure by 6 months they should have something going on. We'll see.

I'm excited getting ready for cousin-nurse-auntie-brig to arrive on Sep 11. She is here for a whole 2 weeks! So stoked to see her and for her to see the babies.

Yesterday Auntie Dobby took Aria and the babies for a walk to the mall. I've been meaning to go for forever, as we only live like 1/2 mile away but it just hadn't happened. Gabby pushed Patch and Jamie boy in the valco double and I pushed my big girl in her red britax srtoller. It was hilarious watching Gabby deal with all the people looking at her and the babies with just tender love in their eyes. People just love babies and TWO babies, oh my. One lady was actually turning around for so long while walking making eyes at the boys that she stopped just short of slamming into a pole. She had to duck away in embarrassment, but with a grin.

Patch still has beautiful blue eyes. I think they are going to stick. It's funny how from the beginning I knew he was going to have blue eyes. Jamie's eyes are getting darker. They are so big and pretty. My handsome boy.

I feel like the worst is truly over in terms of their colicy-ness. They are still grumpy in the evening, especially Patch but they are SO much happier during the day. I love this phase of babyhood. It's just so adorable. I am grateful that I get to enjoy my happy boys now.

Let's hope I can keep this up!
