Blessings...

Zander has a tooth- bottom left, same as Londyn's first one. (I find that interesting.) He hasn't discovered it yet, or he'd be leaving tooth marks in everything, I'm sure.

I've tried something new at bedtime, and, to my great surprise, it's working. I tried lying the twins down with their pacifiers and blankets and just let them play around a bit until they fall asleep. They can't jump around or stand, but, by the time I put them in their beds, they're too tired to do much but roll around and chat quietly anyway. They are actually putting themselves to sleep!! With Janessa and Kyzer, I rocked them to sleep until they were much older (Kyzer still requires it sometimes). Having the twins do this has made my life so much easier. I miss snuggling and rocking them at night (I make up for it during the day), but bedtime is not nearly as stressful.

Hard to believe they're almost a year old already. Sigh... Time goes so fast. Many times throughout the day I'll hear them belly laugh, and a few minutes later, one of the girls will come find me and say, "Momma, the twins are so much fun to play with. I'm glad we have them!!" What wonderful children we were blessed with!!
