Ev & Wes: 10 Month Recap

I refused to believe that my babies were 10 months old already so I scoured through their monthly photos to refresh my memory...

Seeing their pouty lips, chub-free thighs, floppy necks, curled toes and then seeing their personalities blossom, bodies strengthen and thighs (and chins) triple turned my heart into a puddle of mush!

They are so big now. My little/big TEN month olds!

It's even harder for me to believe that in just 2 short months I'll have 2 one year olds (plus a 3 year old)! It doesn't seem real. My babies are growing way too fast!

Weight: 18 lbs (Birth: 6 lbs 13 oz) 
Height: 28.5 in (Birth: 19 in)

Clothing Size: 9 month

Diaper Size: 3

Ev is proving to be quite the little sneak this month. I'll leave the room while everyone is playing nicely together, then I'll hear Wes screaming and come back to Wes getting choked out by Ev. She'll quickly stop when she sees me and give me the biggest smile like, "it wasn't me, ma!" They always say it's the silent ones that you have to look out for and I can totally see why. She's so sweet that you'd never suspect anything from her. She's a little stinker, that girl. After teething for what seemed like forever she finally cut another tooth- 3 more to be exact. She now has a total of 5 teeth! The weird thing about it is that she is missing her top right tooth, but I foresee that one cutting soon, too. She learned to clap this month and also loves to mimic everything that we do. She is such joy to be around. She really is the most pleasant baby, ever!

Weight:  23lb (Birth: 7 lbs 15 oz) 

Height:  31 in (Birth: 21.25 in)

Clothing Size: 12-18 month

Diaper Size: 4

Then there's this kid! And I say kid because hello! did you catch that growth spurt he went through this month?! Homeboy gained five pounds and grew 2.5 inches in just a month! I mean...no wonder he kept us up all month!! Good Lord. He also cut 2 more bottom teeth; which makes for a total of 8 choppers. He waves his index finger and says, "no, no, no" and I promise it is thee cutest thing you have ever seen. Like, for real. He also waves non stop. If you wave to him he will get a silly grin on his face and just start waving away. He is so good with his hands that I'm always telling Ed that he's going to be a quarterback (he's got the height for it, too). He's exactly like his oldest sister, Tenley, in the sense that he's a thrill seeker. He loves to be thrown really high and cries the second you stop. He's a fun boy that's for sure!

The twin's favorite toys are their walkers. They love to cruise around the house while pushing those things around. For some reason Ev doesn't see the walls as an obstacle, girlfriend just keeps banging her walker into the wall until it's in a position that she can walk again. They are also getting better at standing by themselves and will push off the couch or their toys and stand or stand and clap; which is so cute. They can also lower themselves down when they're in the standing position. They love to walk when you hold their hands, especially Wes. 

They just had their well-checks and the doc said they were beyond their milestones. He treated Ev for a eye infection and Wes for this crackling we've been hearing when he breaths, nothing too serious for either, though. Other than that, all went well at the doctors. 

It seems like just yesterday I was able to set them on the couch and not worry about either of them moving a single inch. And wasn't it just yesterday that they were both napping together in one rock and play? What happened to my babies? The time truly flies. It such a blessing to watch them grow and I'm so lucky to be their mommy.

Happy 10 month birthday, Everly and Wesley!!
