9month twins

In February the twincesses turned 9 months. It was also a big moment according to other twin moms I know..... you document when they have been OUT as long as they were IN.

Here they are 39 weeks and 6 days out of the womb. And check. it. out.....
Proof we all survived. (Wynn on right, iley on left)

Through all of winter the girls have basically had running noses and colds. Let me just say, these girls will be VERY healthy adults with their constant sicky-ness. They usually just go about life like it's not bothering them.....until a fever hits and knocks them flat.
Poor Wynn.
This time I actually had a fever too. It hasn't been since Wynn was a newborn that she has fallen asleep on me! CLEARLY she wasn't feeling well.

We get a LOT of extra rest time with Brooks' new rule in the house that is quickly becoming my favorite rule.....NO KIDS IN OUR ROOM. That means no one stealing my treats (or money), walking in on my shower, making messes, or messing up my made bed. #sanctuary
I still found this funny with them all at the door....... apparently I'm a hot commody.

Everly felt lousy for a bit as well. She even fell asleep reading her FAVORITE book she can't sleep without, "You Can Go Jump" (one I used to read when I was little)
Poor "Iley-May" wasn't herself either.

Thankfully they have older siblings that can help distract them from being miserable......playing soccer-ball-target practice always makes them giggle.
They will make GREAT goalies one day

Nine months brings such a sweet age. I just LOVE these two. (in their Mizzou outfits)


I shouldn't laugh, but for SOME reason iley has had it OUT for Wynn lately. 

She can't keep her hands OFF Wynn... and Wynn lets her hear it every. time. (Iley doesn't care)
It's like she can't HELP herself!

Even when iley is climbing up on me she still goes out of her way to touch Wynn on her way up, making her cry.

Okay, one more picture......because iley's innocent look kills me.

The babies switch off temperments in phases. I was told this is common in identical twins. There is a block of time that one twin will be more pleasant than the other, or more needy.....and then the next month it's switched. It's like they agree to it overnight or something.
Anyway, during this 9-month/February time it was Wynn's turn to have beef with the world.

This picture looks like one of those memes that say, "Mom thought I was you and fed me twice!" 
haha.

Sometimes iley will even reach over and eat food off Wynn's tray. You can imagine how happy Wynn is about that.

Or even crawl on TOP of her food...... I started buckling Iley in after this. She just has places to go!


Here is iley with Camden.......I love their smiles.


Actually, they are usually quite pleasant when they are awake though.....despite what the above pictures are depicting. 


And SUPER easy to get to giggle. Double-laughter is my favorite sound in the whole world.


And because these pictures are too funny NOT to post again.......

Iley picking on Wynn= the BEST. I am cracking up. Melissa and I fought a lot, too. We loved each other and annoyed each other with the same great intensity.

I seriously laughed out loud through this entire post! You are RIGHT!! There is something so cute, even though it's sad, about Iley's sweet face as she "tortures" Wynn and poor Wynn just losing it. I just watched a super sad movie, sad ending, sad all around show and was boo-hooing away, but feel better now! Thanks cute twins ;)
