6 months old!!!

The babies are 6 months old!!! Wow, I am still amazed at how fast it has all passed. I was going to make a half birthday cake (like literally half a cake) but then I realized two half cakes equals one whole cake! So star cupcakes happened instead.

My little hams today...
Beck giving Coop some baby love. He is amazing gentle with them now.
Learning how to pet the dog nicely.
Ella's bald spot...really hoping it will start filling in soon! But its so cute. :)
We have gone from being on breathing and feeding tubes in the NICU to sitting, rolling, and eating in the last 6 months. I still can't believe my babies who had trouble learning how to eat wolf everything down now. They are all on track and reaching milestones. I am so grateful for everyday we have with them and can't wait to see how they change over the rest of our lives.

And can I tell you how happy I am now that we no longer have screaming babies 8 hours a day in our house?!?!?

We did not have our photo session today due to all of the rain (I think we got somewhere close to 3-4 inches just this morning!) but we will be doing it soon. I can't wait!!!

Side note: My super picky 6 year old has been trying all sorts of new food in the last few days. Favorite food of the day today SPINACH! He wants to be strong like Popeye. And luckily we have someone who knows how to cook in this house and can make things taste super yummy. Brandon make up some spinach and B ate it right up and asked for more. It is truly strange but fabulous! I did have to let him know that his muscles would not pop up right away like Popeye's though. And I had to break it to him that canned spinach doesn't taste so good, but steamed fresh spinach with olive oil salt and pepper is fabulous!

life is great!

It's just not possible. I'm sorry, but it is just not possible.

B ate SPINACH???

I'm amazed. Brandon might be a meanie daddy, but he is a freaking super hero too.

Happy 6 months to my sweet little loves!!

Sauteed with kosher salt and pepper in olive oil over med high heat for all interested, Throw in a little minced garlic if you like.

I think it shows a great woman who can endure life with newborn twins + 2 more, & still make star cupcakes for their six month celebration!

Happy 6 months of life to the babies. How lucky they are to have you as their mom.
