Eden and Everly 5 Months!

Eden and Everly are 5 months old! They are such happy and sweet girls. We are so lucky to have them! We are able to get out more and more with them, and we are continuing to enjoy our last few months in NYC. Because we followed a pretty strict schedule with them we are now reaping the rewards. We can take them out places and be gone all day and they just really stick to the plan. When it is time to sleep they sleep, and when it is time to eat or be awake they just know what to do. It was hard to be home bound for the last few months, but it is so nice to be able to get out now without worrying about what it will do to their schedule. We have a couple of goals for this month. 1.To get the girls to nap flat on their backs in their crib. Their reflux still makes this difficult. 2. To get them taking some naps without swaddles. We would like them to be unswaddled by 6 months. 3 To get them to sleep overnight in their crib. We could do it now, but I don't want to unless they don't need the boppys anymore because it seems dangerous. This last one might be a longer term goal because we have some big things coming up in then next few months including our move!  We are so lucky to be their parents and we are really having fun raising these sweet, funny, cuddly little ones!
