Halloween

I know I'm a whole Holiday late but life's been crazy. Twins and I have been out of town pretty much since Halloween. It feels good to be home and get the twins back to their normal life. Halloween was great they were the princess and the frog. They really had no idea what was going on but as always they were really good.
We went to my sister house first and my sweet niece Brynlee took them trick or treating. They were so cute all dressed up and ready. I think Brynlee had more fun then I did with them trick or treating. Then we went to my brothers to have chili and bread sticks. Brenda my sister-in-law makes this ever year and like always it was really good.

9 months


I can't believe the twins are 9 months old (almost 10 months.) I wanted to wait until I went to their doctors appointment before I wrote anything down about there 9 month. A lot has changed since I last posted.

  • First Bentley is setting up.
  • Chloe is crawling and is really good at it. Bentley is army crawling and getting on his hands and knees and rocking. He'll be crawling soon. 
  • Chloe can go from crawling to setting up, it's pretty cute. Bentley hasn't figured it out just yet. But I've been watching him trying to figure it out. (he now can to it but only every once in a while)
  • Bentley is really good at holding his bottle and holds it so I can feed Chloe. They are on a lot of solids  they love yogurt melts, crackers, fishes, all fruits and most veggies. Chloe is ready for just a solid diet but Bentley is just not there yet. It's hard to feed them different diets so for right now they are both still eating baby food. Chloe still doesn't hold her bottle she know how but WELL NOT hold it. 
  • Chloe is pulling herself up on everything, and can stand on her own. I'm sure she'll be walking before she is a year.
  • Bentley gets huggy and lovey when his really tried and also giggly. I love it. 
  • Chloe is full of personality, she is always giving me cheesers, talking to her dolls, and crying as hard as she can when anything happens she doesn't like. 
  • They both have bottom teeth and Bentley is getting his top 4 teeth. 
  • Chloe weighs 18 lb 6 oz and 28' tall. she is in the 30% for her age I thought she was bigger then that but I guess I was wrong. 
  • Bentley weighs 20lb and 28' tall. He is also in the 30% for his age. I also thought he was bigger I guess not. 
  • Bentley loves his daddy he lights up every time he's around. Chloe is a mommy's girl, which bugs Evan cuz he wants her to be a daddy's girl. He even tries to say she is. 
  • Chloe can climb stairs so now I can't leave her down stairs alone. She'll follow me up if I leave her she has made it all the way up to the top.
  •  They can feed themselves just like crackers and yogurt melts but it helps when I'm trying to make them food.
  • Chloe cries every time she sees her grandma Roxie, I think she remembers when grandma babysat. I fell bad cuz grandma doesn't get to see her a lot and she cries for most of the visit. I know your thinking she cries cuz she doesn't see her grandma but she lets everyone hold her even people she doesn't know.
  • They both love musicals, my mom and I went to California to see my nieces in a play/musical and they loved it and watched the whole thing. Bentley even tried to sing alone
  • Bentley can do milk in sign language it so cute to watch his little hands sign.
  • They both love the bathroom, I did not understand that at all I but I find then in there all the time. I guess all babies love the bathroom.
  • Chloe loves to climb over things sometimes pillows sometime my legs but most of the time her brother. 
They are both pretty good babies and I'm happy to have them in my life. I can't wait until we go to disneyland for christmas with them and see how much they love it. I'm sure I'll have more fun then they do but I'll take lots of pictures to show them so they know how much fun they had.

7 months

The twins and I have made it 7 months (I guess I should include Evan too) . I alway write how much I love being a mom because it's true. This ride has been the best ride I have ever gotten on.   I think every mother loves being a mom. But when you have to wait so long and work so hard to get your children here you just have a different way of loving them. Also I was very lucky to have all my niece and nephews, that I got to watch them all the time, so I was never scared to have children of my own.  I'm just in love with my baby twins and I would never say this was hard or not worth everything I went through to get them here. Now I would say that at times it's not easy and at times I need a breath but I wouldn't change it for the world. Now that I told you all my hearts secrets I'll tell you about the twins.


  • Chloe has been setting up for a couple of weeks now I'm loving it. Bentley can setting up too but he's still working at it. He likes being a baby and having mommy do everything for him. 
  • Chloe is getting really close to crawling I'm sure by 8 months she'll be all over the place. She's a very busy baby and has places to go and people to see. 
  • The last couple of days Bentley has been pretty sick throwing up everything and pooping everywhere. Chloe was so sweet and just played quietly with all her toys. She has been a sweetheart and now that poor thing is sick but she being so sweet about it. 
  • They love food anything we give them they eat but Chloe LOVES real fruit popsicles the one with pineapple in them. 
  • They are getting on a pretty good schedule but not the best because one will woke up and want to eat when the other one wants to stay asleep. 
  • I think Bentley is getting a tooth but I've been thinking that for weeks now. I'm sure it well so up here real soon. I don't know about Chloe I guess we'll have to wait a see. 
  • Chloe is doing better about her grandpa Lee she now lets him hold her but she's always looking for mommy. 
  • They are starting to really interact with each other. But Chloe is always taking toys away from Bentley and picking on him but he doesn't seem to mind it to much. I think I have a long road of Chloe being mean to her brother. 
  • But Chloe really loves her brother when Bentley was sick I tried to put her in her own crib and she cried for a hour and a half. So I finally just laid her next to Bentley she rolled over cuddled right up to him a fall asleep.  
  • Bentley is starting to take a binky, Chloe HATES them she's mad every time I put one in her month but she still takes them right out of Bentleys month or any other babies month she can get her hands on. 
  • Chloe has been a stinker about going to sleep she cries and cries and the minute I pick her up she's smiling and happy to see me. Bentley still sleeps like a chimp falls asleep really good and doesn't care that Chloe is scramming in his ear
Sorry this is a little late but I wrote this when they were 7 months old I just never posted it.
