Mytubo Favorite shots from the week…..

Another week has come and gone.  Seems like they go so quickly.  Grey has started to pull herself up to her knees and standing position. All she wants to do is look out the window.  The problem is that she can’t get herself back down.  This is especially NOT fun when she is in her crib in the middle of the night!  She and Escher are starting to interact a lot more, making each other laugh and playing together.  I love taking photos with the natural light coming in the window.

River learned how to ride her bike this past week.  She just said, “I don’t want training wheels anymore….and took off!”  We couldn’t believe it!  She rides so fast..it makes me a bit crazy!

Along with crawling and pulling herself up…Grey is starting to be a bit more independent.  I think she is wondering off more and doing a bit more without worrying about me.  She still seems like the quiet one..compared to Escher.  And Escher got his first tooth this week.  A second one is coming right in!  I can’t believe they are almost nine months old!

 

Embrace the Camera…

Have I mentioned that I’ve been downloading lots of fun free camera apps???  I think I have mentioned it.  My latest is pudding camera.   I love all the different options it has for camera.   River and I had a lot of fun today fooling around with it!  Everyone around here has a cold….me, River, Grey, Escher and Tuesday…..ugh…  It isn’t fun having two grumpy babies who want constant attention and cuddling!!  Lots of snotty tissues.  But, anyway, enjoy your Thursday and go embrace the camera…..

Embrace the camera….

 

It always seems like as soon as I try to take a photo with one of the babies..the other one starts to fuss…..always.  Again, with the patience.  Will I ever fully learn patience?  Seems like it is one of those endless lessons in life.  I hope I’m getting better at it..especially when it is around 3:30 and the second shift is coming home.  I never seem to get that perfect shot that I had in my head….it does always seem perfect in my head….I guess, again, that’s just life.  But I figure, any picture with the babies, or any of my children, is a good picture.  Happy Thursday and go embrace the camera….

 

 

MyTubo favorites from the week…..

Here are some of my favorite photos from the last week that I’ve posted on Mytubo.  Nap time is still a challenge..not with Grey.  I put them in separate rooms for nap time, so Grey goes in her swing.  She loves the swing and sleeps very well.  But Escher, he does not sleep well during nap time.  It takes him forever to fall asleep and he doesn’t stay asleep for long.  But at night time, he loves his crib.  Who can figure it out.

Morning time is always a bit crazy…especially when I’ve been up since 5 am.  I love how this shot captures the craziness, yet wonderful-ness of it all.

All River wants to do is “hold” and be with the babies.  I love this shot because it captures their little feet and how cute they are together.

River took this shot and I just love it.  It pretty much captures her personality!  It is one of my favorites.  And the last two are nature shots. that I took over the weekend.  I hope you are having a happy Monday!

Embrace the Camera….

Seems like all Escher wants to do is crawl these days.  He isn’t interested in sitting…he has no time to sit!  Grey is trying to figure out the crawling thing, but she hasn’t figured it out yet….rolling works better for her.  Laying on the floor with the babies is so much fun, but risky.  They love pulling hair….usually mine.  Well, go embrace the camera..before they grow up!

 

Through River’s eyes….

River always wants to take photos with my phone or camera.  I love looking at children’s photography.  It is almost as good as their artwork!  Seeing the world from their perspective.  If you’ve never let your child use your camera..do it today.  You won’t be sorry.  Here are some of her photos.  Enjoy….

 

 

 

Bodily fluids….

Today has been one of those days….filled with nothing but cleaning……all types of bodily fluids.  Grey wasn’t feeling well during the night and kept throwing up.   Then Escher wet through his diaper.  Some how five am came way too fast…with both babies up and ready for the day.  I fed Grey and she decided she needed to throw up again…right after I put her in the swing..so not only did she have to be cleaned, but so did the swing.  (Did I mention that last night, during free naked time, she pooped and rolled all over it and through it…..so she went directly into the tub!)  Anyway, that is the type of day it has been….I’m tired.

Embrace the Camera….

I don’t seem to get a picture that often of me and the babies..so I tried to set out and get some photos…but I was taking them myself..not an easy task.  Of course, I didn’t feel like getting out the tripod and setting the camera up with the timer.  I wanted to take the easy way out and just use my phone.  So, I got down on the floor with the babies and took some photos.  Well, I got quite a bit of hair pulled out…but finally managed to snap a few good shots….

Go embrace the camera…

Life with twins….

Now that I have twins, it seems that everywhere I go, there are twins.  So many people seem to have twins.  Yet raising twins seems such a daunting task..I often wonder how so many people have survived!  Every day I feel like I am running a marathon…..yet, at the end..there is no rest period.  You just get up and do it all over again.  I’ve never felt so many different emotions within a 24 hour period.  It has been the best experience and the worst experience.  I’ve learned so much and regretted so much.  I want to cherish every moment and I’m afraid to miss a moment.  I want to hug them every second, yet sometimes I just want to get away for hours.

Every day brings new challenges and new insights.  I’ve learned to be patient and yet, my patience is wearing thin.  Whenever I am out and about, so many people say…”how do you do it?”  I think that is a funny question…you just do what you have to do…sometimes without really thinking about it and other times, it is all I think about!

The first seven months just flew by and yet it the time seemed to last forever.  My life has become a bunch of contradictions…it seems crazy, yet normal…all at the same time.  I want to savor each and every day….yet, I just want to sleep.

I want to give them every minute of my day, yet I want to make sure I give just as much of myself to my other children.  It is all so daunting, yet so simple.  These little creatures have already taught me so much.

These moments are precious and I will treasure them….after I get a nap!
