Campbell and Cooper are 6 months old. I can't believe how fast the last few months have flown by. It seems like just yesterday we found out we were having twins! Both boys are rolling over and belly laughing. I love to hear them laugh! The best way to get them to laugh is to tickle their "Noop Noops" ( I know it may sound dirty but it is the spot between their neck and their little baby boobies. We have Daddy to thank for naming this body part).
We had our 6 month checkup and they are doing great. You would never know that they weighed less than 5 pounds and were in the NICU. They are both 27 1/2 inches long and in the 85th percentile for their height. Campbell weighs 18.4 lbs and Cooper weighs 17.2 lbs. We added chicken to their dinner and Campbell loves it. Cooper spits it out as soon as you pull the spoon out of his mouth. He will only eat it if you mix it with green (and only green) veggies!
They have completely switched in the past 2 months. Campbell was the loud outgoing one. Now, Cooper is always talking and will make friends with anyone who looks his way. He was a momma's boy. He has now joined the dark side. He loves his daddy! Campbell, on the other hand, is quieter (but can still squeal with the best when the mood is right). He is a lot more particular about who is holding him. We recently went to our cousin Yasmyn's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. Campbell finally let my cousin hold him after about 2 hours. I thought I would use the opportunity to run to the bathroom and change Cooper's diaper. Evidently he noticed that I was gone and I could hear him screaming at the top of his lungs over all of the crazy noise that is Chuck E. Cheese on a very busy Sunday afternoon. I have to say that although I don't want my son to be afraid... it feels kind of good that I'm the one that can make it all better!
The bluebonnets were in full bloom a few weeks ago so my friend Misti and I loaded up all of the kiddies and took a drive out to Montgomery. We were able to get some really great pictures. Cooper wanted to grab the bluebonnets with his toes! Campbell wanted to eat them! The Jacks were at baseball that day so they are missing from our pictures :( However, I love the picture of Alex holding the boys. Alex... is so grown up and handsome. We took over 250 pictures that day!
Both Alex and Jack are great with the babies. Alex helps me almost every night during bath time. He sits with one and watches Noggin (baby TV) while I bathe the other.
Jack E. is playing baseball and is having a great season so far. He's a great catcher and has gotten some awesome hits too.
Life is busy but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Sometimes I think back to the days when I could watch a movie or read a book (and finish it in less than a month). Life was good but it's even better now that there are 6 of us! I can't imagine my life any other way.
