And did you notice that they are standing?? This just happened recently. Both the girls can stand up and get down on their own. Ivy can side step along things too. I peek at the baby monitor and see her making circles in her crib when she is suppose to be sleeping. I feel Tayla could do it too, but I think she worries about falling down so she chooses not too. I'm so proud with how much improvement I see in them everyday. Yes, I'm that mom that is encouraging walking! I learned a couple of days ago that they are really behind in their gross motor skills and was referred to early intervention. Plus with them walking, I feel it would make my life so much easier, especially while hauling them to the car.
Anyway, I'm so bless to be these girls mom, it is hard at times with twins, but we make it work. I just can't get over how lucky I am to have such happy and easy little girls. The only time I hear them cry is if they are hungry or tired.
It's been nice (at times) having the opportunity to stay with my girls. It hurt us financially, but in the end we still feel it was the best decision for our family. However, I have come to the conclusion that being a stay at home mom isn't for me, so I've made the decision to go back to work sooner then expected. Most of my paycheck will go towards daycare, but I miss working. I miss having adult interactions, and I feel it will be better for my mental health and well being. It will be a big adjustment for both me and girls but I feel in the long run it will better.
