6 months already!!!

I can’t believe that it has been 6 months since God entrusted us with these two sweet girls.

checking themselves out on Mamaw's iPad


On the peaceful, happy, calm days, I hold them close and take deep breaths.  I think that maybe I can slow time down and hold onto those quiet little moments forever.  Maybe when they are 5, 16, or 29 years old, I can just close my eyes and go back to that time I rocked them to sleep in their nursery when they were 6 months old. 

To celebrate 6 months of changes, we took a few photos to show the growth since G and O came into the world, as well as just some cute current photos.

All swaddled and bouncied at a about a week old.
Can't swaddle or keep these girls bounced- they wiggle right out.

Georgia is definitely the older sister. She wants to comfort, protect, and keep an eye on her ‘little’ sister. She loves blowing bubbles and purring like a cat, even while drinking a bottle.  She can roll like a log and is sitting up with very little help.  She doesn’t mind taking a nap, but they don’t seem to last long. She thinks Olive is hysterical! She is working on her first tooth, and it’s a tough job!

Olive is a grunter and a squealer.  She loves to play with and even munch on her toes. She would love to take off crawling and she can sit up with very little help. She enjoys standing in her exersaucer, kicking herself in circles, and having pillow fights with her sister or even by herself.  She is a fighter when it comes to naptime, but she is a champion sleeper once she gets going!


Both girls LOVE BabyTV (especially the number party), their daddy, taking a bath, looking in the mirror, their mermaid toys, hanging upside down, and eating avocados, sweet potatoes, and bananas.

Truly Becoming a Mother

10 months ago, I became a mother. I had been looking forward to that day my whole life. I grew up around lots of babies. I work with kids. I loved on other people’s children working in church. I wanted my own! I wanted to feel that love that mothers feel. Honestly though, I didn’t feel it. I felt the physical pain, I felt the amazement at how two real people with arms and legs and working organs came from inside of me, I felt their hearts beat as they laid on me, I felt awestruck at the beauty of my daughters, I felt some depression because I realized my previous life was over, and I felt guilt for that depression. But, I didn’t feel like a mother. I didn’t have that immediate connection with my babies. I didn’t have that “love at first sight” feeling. Until now, I’ve only told one person that because I thought it meant I was a terrible human being and I could never be a good mother. As they’ve grown and I’ve grown, I have become more than a mother. I’m a “Mom Mom”! Now I feel...

The Problem With Smart Kids

Some made up statements, but close to things I’ve heard before: “My mom said I’m too smart for homework.” “She is throwing things because she is too smart for this. She is bored.” “Only geniuses get into that kind of trouble.” As a new mom, I have started to ponder where this problem with using intelligence as an excuse starts. I think it starts with a sweet baby just learning and discovering a new world, and a family that is very proud.   People have approached me about forcing my children into ‘advanced development’, mentioned that they are behind because they are twins or because they are preemies, said “They aren’t walking yet? Baby Dreidel was walking when she was 3 months old” (that’s a totally made up quote), and asked me what I’m doing to MAKE them start walking or talking or painting landscapes or whatever. I feel like it’s all a big competition over who has the smartest kids. And I think that it all starts in an innocent desire for a child to be and have good t...
