What Big Girls!!



Ellie & Audrie turn 19 weeks tomorrow and my how time flys!! We've hit a couple of milestones over the past couple of weeks. First off, neither girls are being swaddled to go to sleep. I can finally just lie them in their crib and they fall right to sleep. Okay, give or take 10 minutes!!

Also, last week I mentioned that it was about time for them to stop sharing a crib. Well, we did finally have to make that leap. I think I was obviously more sad about it than they were. I just love having them share a crib and be able to snuggle together. It was getting to the point though that they were really kicking each other and rolling over on each other. It was funny the first morning nap they took in their own crib. I think they were finally like, "Wow, my own space." I went in to check on them and they were both sprawled out taking up the whole crib, so I think they like having their crib to themselves.

The other "biggie" is that they are finally sleeping through the night. They've been doing it for a couple of weeks. I feed them at around 8:30 and they sleep until about 7AM. They do wake up a few times a night, but we just give them a binkie and they go back to sleep. So while Justin and I do still wake up a few times a night; it is worlds away from where we were. I'm sure before long they'll be sleeping through the night without a peep. Well that's all for now!!

I'm Back

So you'll notice I haven't blogged in awhile, but I do have an excuse. My laptop crashed, so I've been without a computer for several weeks. Today I'm using my husband's computer, but mine should be back in a few days, YAY!!

It's been crazy busy at the Rollins house. Last Friday we moved to a new house which is "sort of" challenging with 2 babies. We aren't completely moved in yet, but we are getting close. We just keep going back to the old house to pick up small loads.

The girls have recently turned 4 months old and they are really growing & changing. They are super smiley. I think my favorite part of the day is putting them on the changing table. I know, right...changing a diaper is the best part of the day? It really is though because it's like they immediately get bit by the smile bug and can't stop smiling. It's so cute!!

They are still sharing a crib, but I'm not sure for how much longer. They are both little wiggle worms, especially Audrie. I think it's time they have their own space. Audrie is no longer being swaddled for naps or at night and Ellie is getting close. Ellie now sleeps with one arm out. What big girls!!! Well that's all for now!!

We have their halloween costumes and will be taking them to the pumpkin patch soon. You know we'll take lots of pictures.
