My Irish Twins

Yes, I have twins!!! Well...Irish twins. What are Irish twins??? I didn't know, until I had them haha.
I guess if you have two kiddos that are less than 12 months apart, they are called "Irish Twins". I Love my baby boys :) This week is another special week, because they both turned a month older! Ayden is now 18 months, and Zachariah is 5 months!!
   Ayden's vocabulary is growing so fast! He can speak 2 to 3 word sentences, and just this past week he learned to shake his head no, as well as say "no", when he doesn't want something. I'm blessed that so far if Mommy or Daddy replies back with a "yes", he does not persist with his "no". He still LOVES reading, and enjoys our one-on-one reading times each day! He now asks you to read the same book at least ten times over! And he will sit through each time :) I Love it!! He also, Loves baby Zachary and would do anything for him :) Every morning, as soon as he wakes up, he asks "baby???baby??" and as soon as he see's him, filled with delight, he runs to him to shower him with kisses!! Slowly he is learning the hard lesson of "sharing". Zachary loves playing on the floor with his big brother, but as soon as he has the cool toy...Aydens "needs" it. I Love watching them both grow and learn right from wrong! It is such a blessing to stand on this side "the mommy side" and watch these beautiful boys explore.

I would have to say that Ayden's Favorite part of the day, would be when Daddy comes home. As soon as Ben sends me a txt that he is "on his way home", I tell Ayden to go see if Daddy's home. So he runs to the front door, and stands there until he's home. Then (usually from the kitchen) I hear, "Datty, datty, datty"...That means, he's home! His second favorite time of the day is....BREAKFAST!!! Haha...of course..he is a lil guy..and that's what they do...Eat, eat and eat some more ;)

 The following is a lesson learned in brotherhood! Don't be too quick to laugh..BECAUSE......

 It could be you...

Just another fun picture my sister Leslie took!

   Zachariah...a.k.a...Our Stud...He never ceases to amaze us!! From the day he was born (seriously) he would ride in his car seat in the form of a crunch (or sit up). I would force his head to lie down, only for him to pop it right back up. So it didn't surprise me to have him sitting up at 4 months! He turned 5 months this week! He Loves chatting and trying to follow his big brother around! Zachary can army crawl, and get into a crawling position to rock back and forth. Like Ayden, he has stolen a piece of my heart! Ayden adores his Daddy, Zachariah adores his mommy!! He LOVES snuggling, kisses, mauling, cheek squishes and more. I adore him! I couldn't imagine life without my boys (including my hubby).

   Ben and I were just talking about if we would rather be married with no kids, or take the life we have. And we both agreed, we wouldn't want our lives any other way! The "no kids" life would be boring! We also agreed that we were blessed with two WONDERFUL boys!!
