The Carter Twins

It appears we have been able to get the girls to sleep past 2:45am. Ava is waking up around 5am but I can bring her to bed and have her sleep another 2 hours. Emilie was up at 7am this morning playing nicely in her crib… what a good girl. I hear we will revert again around 8mo. For now I look forward to the next two months of sleeping (hopefully)

Well we have survived the holidays and are back to working on our schedules. Since about four months our girls have decided they don’t like to nap or sleep through the night. We have gone back to one nighttime feeding (usually around 245)… I think solid foods are on their way. We will talk to our MD about rice cereal at our next 6mo check up.

For now, we are walking zombies. Sorry for the lack of posts.
Happy 2009

Well we finally put up the second crib. This was a hard decision for us but ultimately it had to be done. Emilie is our little “world (crib)” traveler at night and is constantly moving toward Ava, kicking, and waking her up. Because we are desperate for the girls to sleep through the night…we are willing to try anything….even if that means they have to be separated. We consider this a gift to Ava on her 5 month birthday.

We were hoping to move prior to this happening but since we cannot get an answer on our offer for a house… we will just have to move two cribs… there could be worse things in life.

The girls and I attended a new mom’s tea with the twin’s club… note the little beauties in the bottom right corner… cutest babies in the bunch I have to say… sorry.

We (I mean Santa) bought the girls this exersaucer for Christmas. They are both fascinated with it…

Ava and Emilie attended their first birthday party this past weekend. The swim instructor, Tracy, took both of them into the water for the first time. Ava was not so sure but Emilie loved it… just like being in the womb…

Ava has found a new way of communicating with us. This is amusing most of the time – at 4am not so much.

Ava stayed up too late…
