Thoughts on motherhood: the good the bad & the beautiful

Teeth!

Sitting down to write this baby's first tooth post I realized how fast the time is passing no matter how much I stop and smell the roses. Baby Rush has not 1 but 2 teeth! The first tooth broke the skin last week and the 2nd is right behind it this week! Two teeth and he is not even 6 months old yet! Maybe this explains his waking in the night several times. He is the best snuggler! This sweet little boy is making me break the no kids in my bed rule! Oh little boys! I had no idea how sweet they were.

Five months old

These pictures were taken on the twins actual five month birthday (January 7th) and I just now getting around to write this post. I have actually already written it twice but it was some how not saved. I wrote  it while getting my hair colored for the first time since October! Which turned out to be the worst hair color EVER and I spent another 4 hour hair apt doing color correction. If you live in Austin this will make since my hair was not so much yellow rose but a whole lot landing strip.

On to my FIVE MONTH old cuties! The time is flying by my little nuggets!

Best little house guest ever

I know I don't have to explain Elf on the shelf to anyone reading my blog but I will introduce you to Merkle in case you forgot his name! This little guy showed up Black Friday and has been making mischief ever since.
One morning Merkle left a note telling Miss C she is doing good and made a few suggestions on how to make sure she is on the nice list (brush her teeth & wash her hair) he also left her a magic holiday seed to plant. When she checked back the next morning candy canes had grown
Here are a few of his antics over the last 2 weeks

Twin perk

The hilarious onesies for twins!
So in an effort to convince my favorite Mexican restaurant that's is JUST WRONG to charge for chips & salsa, the twins wore these!
