So much change, so little time to post...

Well it's now June which means I'm about to celebrate a birthday, again. Brighton and Landon are now 4 months old and growing like weeds. Zann took all 4 kids to the doctor for the twins checkups. Landon's Laryngomalacia is still present, but he sounds clear and he isn't retracting. He weighs 12lbs 14oz and is 24 3/4" long. Brighton wasn't standing for him passing her at the last check-up. She is 13lbs and 4oz and is 24" long.
Their personalities are starting to show and it is so fun to see how individual each are. Earlier it was always "the twins, this and that," but it's almost unnatural now. They are so different.
Landon is the wiggler. He is always exploring the world with his hands and feet. Tonight I caught him concentrating on his hands and controlling them around. He even managed to get his own binkie when he was down in his crib.
Brighton is, in a word...easygoing. Her big bright blue eyes just take in all around her. It takes a lot to get her to fuss. She is all girl. I never thought it would be so cool to dress a girl in pink.
We recently celebrated a milestone in twin life, both are sleeping through the night on a regular basis.
Nick finished 1st grade with outstanding grades in his standard class and his advanced studies. I questioned if he was my kid. :) I cannot believe his progress.
Carter is all boy, rough and tumble to the core. His energy is invigorating. He still comes to the door when I come home and is so excited to see me. NOTHING IS BETTER.
Nick and Carter have adjusted to twins well. Nick is a lifesaver for Mom during the day. He is so willing to help. Carter has moved from baby of the family to wanting to "be big like Nick." He's measuring everything in relative terms. It is fun! Exhausting, but fun to be a part of this development.
We're all set for a family trip to DC this summer for the Smith Family Reunion. It is going to be crazy, fun and memorable on so many levels. We're holding off blessing the babies until then.
Well, its Tuesday and more week to go. I better sign off and get to bed.
