Green Monster!
Some impromptu fun with dad using a child sized personal flotation device. Silly voices and flapping “ears” equalled squeals and giggles.
Hilton Head! Babies are loving the wading pools. We spend around 2 hours at the beach in the morning and then come in for lunch, a bottle and a nap.
FLASHBACK SUNDAY: highlights from Topsail. We really had an amazing time watching Emma & Jamison.
Memories like these make it almost impossible to remember that this time last year Emma was almost exactly 4 months old yet still not home with me, her dad, or her twin brother. It is now normal for me to not think about the NICU or TCN daily now, which also means I have gotten better at accepting that others around me don’t think about it regularly either. I would be a liar to say when my husband & I reflected on the day pictured above that we didn’t include that Emma took months to breathe on her own & Jamison took a few months to take a “full bottle” by mouth. We do that. And we likely always will. It may mean that for a second we live in the past, but really it means that we at fully aware of how miraculous our present is.
Of course the kid who doesn’t need the glasses loves hers!
Last night at Topsail Beach.
Emily & Dan visiting with the babes, and getting excited about welcoming their own baby girl this fall.
You know you have twins when: you talk about your baby having 6 teeth forever & someone points out she has 8. Not just cutting through — like all the way out. :) Dan the dentist is on the case.
Glasses had arrived. Not to us, but Papa picked them up to bring to week 2 of the beach. Jamison’s are on the top and Emma’s are on the bottom. His have a prescription & hers do not. Both become shades in the sun. Next step keeping glasses on two feisty 16 month olds!

No haircut ever. Business on the sides and party on top.
