So here are two tiny people for whom I'm very, very thankful, and some ways that they light up my life:

Doodlebug's precious, precious smiles: even when he's upset, he smiles through his tears. He has the most delightful giggle! His laughter is always contagious. And sometimes also quite mischievous...especially when he's trying to grab my phone. He's definitely a mover; even when he's nursing, he's trying to go places. He loves music and dancing in his jumper. And his legs are so strong! Forget sitting, he'd much rather try to stand in my lap! |

Inchworm's quiet studiousness: she will spend hours examining one toy. She is very thoughtful, and she's my cuddler. She loves to snuggle close and dig her fingers into my hair. Her favorite pastime at the moment is studying our lips and trying to reproduce noises. Blowing raspberries are a great source of entertainment for her! She also loves to give "kisses" - she opens her mouth wide and slobbers all over our cheeks. And another thing I'm grateful for tonight? They're both asleep! At the same time!! Fingers crossed that they will stay that way... |
Thanks for commenting on my blog. Your babies are awesomely adorable!! It's good to see some real twins, cause mine still feel very theoretical at 12 weeks.. I read a few of your posts, and you are very funny! I will take a look at your old blog too. Very nice to meet you, and good luck with the sleep thing!
ReplyDeletePS, I've been also contemplating the concept of gratitude, as I was really complaining a lot on my blog recently (as I have been pretty miserable). I do believe that gratitude is a super powerful action, that affects us and everyone around with good stuff!! So good for you! And thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove this post! We've had a challenging week with sleep issues and it's always a good reminder to stop and give thanks for all that God has given us. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful little babies! Good reminder! I also had a day yesterday that had me pulling out my hair, but at the end of the day I said a prayer than I was thankful everyone was safe and ok (after a bonk on Leah's head.
ReplyDeleteYou must hear this all the time, but your babies are so so sweet. It is wonderful to see how much in love you are with them and how grateful you are that they finally joined your family.
ReplyDeleteI dream of my own someday twins, and gain so much hope and strength from finding blogs like yours. my dreams are not outside of reality, they came true for you and in time, they can come true for me too.
Sleep deprivation is no fun at all, Good luck!
