6 months

Today the twins are officially 6 months, and I can't help but wonder where all the time has gone? How can it possibly be 6 months already?
I also (as you can tell) went a little camera crazy. But it seemed like an important day to document.
I literally spent the WHOLE morning trying to figure out what they were going to wear (I decided other things like dishes, laundry, packing for the trip we're leaving for tomorrow morning were of less importance!). I would find the PERFECT outfit for Allie - but Ryan didn't have anything that would go. Then I would find the PERFECT outfit for Ryan - but Allie had nothing that worked.

Then I was standing at the changing table, looking at all of the outfits I pulled out, and I turned around and looked at them in the diapers and bibs (because I was getting ready to feed them), and they looked SO CUTE that I decided they didn't need any clothes at all!

So the whole morning was wasted?

They are so active...and mischievious.
This morning, Ryan had a few of the links wrapped around his arm. Allie saw and rolled on her side so she could reach them, worked them off of his arm (I have difficulty doing that sometimes!), and tossed them away. She didn't want them - she just didn't want him to have them!
No worries. Ryan can take care of himself. This morning they were playing on the floor (and I was trying to find the right outfit for them...) and I suddenly heard Allie let out a shriek.
I turn, and there is Ryan, pinching his sister on the arm!
And so it begins...
Who knows what great capers they will pull while mommy isn't looking. All I know is that I am suddenly having to pay very close attention! They are also getting more mobile, reaching farther, wanting more - which makes my job a lot more difficult.
But it's also really fun!
