2 months

2 months old

It's amazing to me that they have been here for two months (yesterday). As of tomorrow they will have been home for 5 weeks!!!

They change almost daily....I have found that as soon as I post about a positive change in either of them, Murphy's Law kicks in and they no longer do what I posted about...ie stretchs of sleep :(

The tough part about all of this is the differences in them. What works for one certainly doesn't work for the other. Riley for instance, I can not get him into sit in a seat like I used to, he likes to be on his stomach or nothing. He will not last very long sitting upright or on his back....for example....I put him in a seat this morning so that I could go pee......I had just sat down and he started to scream like he was in pain. I have come to realize that he can scream for a few mintues while I finish whatever it is that I am doing and he won't be TOO traumatized :)

On the other hand, I'm glad that they are different and that they will do things at different times. They aren't going to smile at the same time or roll over at the same time...and that means we get to celebrate the milestones twice. They smile now, but I know that it's just twitches and not actual smiles....even though I like to think so.

Obviously there are good and bad things about having twins...and every stage will be challenging, but in the end it will be worth it...right?

My friend Karin in Calgary emailed me what she thinks is going to be a funny stage.....when they learn how walk/run in opposite directions!!!! Now what I think is funny is how I'm going to watch her from the staging lanes at the race track as she tries to corral them herself!!!

Just a warning, be careful what you laugh at!!! Have a great day!
