Twin Updates

Some new fun things this week:

Emma Cate is a chatty cathy and I love it! She is so sweet to greet me when I get home with lots of babbling. Recently she has enjoyed sitting in her high chair next to me while I cook dinner! Can't wait for her to join me in the kitchen!

Holden has been his his same old smiley self! His new thing this week is sleeping on this side. I'm pretty sure he'll be rolling over soon! I love checking on him in his crib and seeing him curled up on his side.

As of this week, both babies are swaddle free! We had relied on the swaddle to get our babies to sleep and right around their 4 month appointment we started going swaddle free at nap time. We transitioned Holden over to sleeping overnight without a swaddle without any issues. We tried Emma Cate and she was a mess! We kept her in a swaddle for another week and then started to notice she was able to get her arm out and suck her thumb... if she can self sooth, she can definitely sleep without the swaddle. She's been swaddle free for three nights now and is doing amazing and sleeping through the night!

My mom has been sending me pictures while I'm at work. Here are a few of my cuties enjoying time with their Gigi!

Daddy dressed me in my elephant PJs on the wrong day!

tummy time. I think Holden looks like such a little boy in his rugby shirt

finally holding her head up well!

This was taken the other day after our mommy-daughter day. Someone was pooped. She NEVER falls asleep like this!

Hey bubby!

Reading time at Gigis

I got this one this morning of Emma Cate and my Dad at the computer. If you know my Dad and his love of technology, this picture is perfect! I think we have one of us when I was Emma Cate's age at his computer! I'll have to look for it.
