I feel like it's been forever since I have written and I'm sorry for the delay.. I spoke with a friend this past weekend who mentioned that she had been checking back for updates and I knew I needed to put something on paper. or online that is.

The kids are doing really well.. I took them in for their 6 mo.  check up and they are both 25 1/4" long, weighing in at 14.4 (Grace) and 14.2 (Austin). It is so surreal for me to read my old entries when they were only 3 lbs. respectively. .. my how far they have come. They are both rolling over for the most part and enjoy their Bumbo seats.. These days we have them playing either under the play gym or in bouncer.. they love their lambie swings and each has their favorite stuffed lovie. I am amazed at how aware they both are, really learning how to track and use their hands effectively. I have successfully switched them from Prosobee to regular Infant Formula which is much nicer on their digestive systems (ironically). Each day is a new adventure and hopefully soon they will be sleeping through the night and sitting up. Right now they can make it from 8:30pm til 1am and then to 5am so we are close. I started feeding them rice cereal but they spit it out .. I don't think they like it very much so I have introduced bananas and that was a great decision! They LOVE bananas so we are off to the races on eating. I will try and mix the two together and hopefully that will be a positive influence on their sleep patterns. Fingers crossed!

We are going to Texas (Tom and I) tomorrow and will be away from them for more than a day for the first time and it is so scary.. my parents are coming to be with them and I can only imagine the circus that awaits them. Tommy has been pretty jealous of the kids lately but seems to be dealing pretty well for the most part. He will be their biggest challenge as his TWOS are in full effect. With two nannies and my parents, Tom and I will hopefully feel safe enough to enjoy ourselves.

Work is going well (Tu/Th) and I will be picking up Weds. in July so we will test that out .. I miss all three of them so much it hurts. Hats off to those of you who are full time working moms. I am amazed by the dichotomy that presents itself from one minute to the next at the office. I like working, I hate working..I like it, I hate it..  and that is my day. I know I am not alone.

I will try and get better about updates and hope all are well.

Much love to you all,
Erica
