Putting words together
I always wondered (and still do) about how children pick up their native language so easily. I just can’t imagine going to another country and picking up on the language like that. But it’s just amazing. Madyson has been saying words for a while now as I have said, but the other day before I left for work, I was putting on my coat to leave and Savannah said “buh bye, Momma!” Talk about surprised! They always wave to Justin when he leaves at night and have just recently picked up that the wave is associated with bye bye, so now they wave and say buh bye (well actually it’s more Savannah that does it which is surprising since Mady talks the most). Just goes to show you how different children of the same age can be.
The past few nights have been very difficult. Since I started working part-time for Christmas, I am not as able to get up a lot in the night as I do when I don’t work. It’s very heartwarming actually, I think that they just don’t feel good because of their molars coming in and Savannah just really wants me there with her. I rock her (which is getting really hard to do…she’s getting so big) and she yawns and looks so content just being with me. And I am just content watching her sleep but I have been getting so tired I have to get some sleep when I can. It breaks my heart because she wakes up instantly when I put her down and reaches for me. I have to let her cry it out sometimes…she always falls back asleep but it makes me feel horrible. I can’t put her in my bed because number 1, she won’t sleep…she’ll just stand on my pillow and look out that window while jumping up and down, and number 2, she rolls all over and will fall off if she ever did fall asleep.
They are on the brink of turning 16 months old…holy cow. It was 2 years ago that I was enduring daily needles and literally putting all my eggs in one basket. I never in a million years imagined that my life could be so fulfilled by those two precious babies. Of course, I get frustrated…every day. Twins are not easy by any stretch but there are WAY more good times than stressful ones. I am still so in love, I know I always will be…..forever.
