Eden and Everly 6 Months

What!? Is anyone else as shocked by this as I am? Our littles are 6 months old!! I feel like it was yesterday that I was desperately trying to wrap my head around the fact that these two would be arriving soon. I was planning and preparing and contemplating and then they arrived and it was nothing like I thought it would be, but so much better! We have survived and even thrived at times. I am so lucky to have these girls in my life. I am so glad that there is a plan outside of my control that has allowed these girls to be ours.

Here are some things we notice about the girls together:
*They take three naps a day
*They sleep from 8-7 at night
*They nurse 6 times a day
*They are getting more and more vocal
*They are laughing

*They are happier when they can see or hear each other
*They have tried rice cereal
*They wear 6 month clothes
*They wear size 2 diapers
*They poop once every other day usually
*They fall asleep very easily in the Ergo carrier
*They are working on holding and shaking toys
*They are having a little stranger anxiety not all the time, but every once in a while especially if   they are tired

Here are some things we notice about Eden:
