January 20, 2011: 2011 Starts off Grand!

I can't believe that we are already over half way through January.  This month is flying by.  Well, actually time has just been flying by ever since the twins were born.  So far the year has been really good except for one thing... I went back to work :(.  The weekend before I went back to work was rough.  I was having a really hard time coping with the fact that I wasn't going to be with my babies all day.  I had spent almost every minute of their lives with them!  I was seriously having separation anxiety.  I kept telling myself that I was doing this for them, and would be best for all of us if I went back to work. 

So, the first day of work came.  By this time I had been off work for 7 months (including summer vacation) and I was a little nervous about going back to work.  The day was not all that bad, but a lot harder to get back into the swing of things then I thought. I was anxiously waiting for 3:45 so I could head home.  Once that time came I rushed out of work (I couldn't get home fast enough) to see my babies!  As soon as I got home I'll never forget their reactions.  Lexy smiled instantly!!  She is such a smiley girl!  Randy, my little man, started crying!  It was almost as if he was saying, "I missed you mommy!!" Let's just say now, each day, I look forward to the time that I get to go home and see my babies!  My goal is to spend as much time after work and on the weekends as I can with my babies.  Since I don't get to be with them all day, that is my way to catch up on lost time! I sure miss them while I'm at work, but I'm so happy when I see their little faces when I get home!  It's like they are so happy to see me!!  I love it!!!

Well, some fun things have been going on with the babies these last couple of months.  Lexy has been smiling almost since the day she was born.  She is always laughing!!! As for Randy, that boy never smiled.  My mom would say that you have to pay that boy to get him to smile!  LOL!!  But now... he may be my little serious man, but he sure has his moments when he smiles.  They both have the most beautiful smiles EVER!!!  :-)  They both started giggling out loud sometime in November!  It is so cute to hear them laugh!  There best times are in the morning when I'm getting them ready for the day, they smile and laugh and just have such a GREAT time!!  And also bath time.  They absolutely love bath time!!  Again lots of smiles and laughs!!!  But the funny thing is that as soon as I put their jammies on, they immediately start crying because they know what's going to happen after tubby time... dinner!!! 

Some other things that Randy and Lexy have done are:

-Lexy noticed her brother for the first time in November!  It was so cute!! Now you can catch her smiling and laughing at him.  Just today, I picked Randy up because he was crying, and Lexy started laughing!! LOL!!
-Randy noticed his sister on January 4!  To cute... as soon as he saw her he got the biggest, cutest little smile on his face.  He now looks at her and smiles and laughs as well!
-On January 7, Randy spent his for night in his crib.  He's such a big little man!
-On January 9, Lexy rolled over in her play pen for the first time.  I honestly think she surprised herself when she did.  I'm so happy that I was up looking at her when it happened!  We are still waiting on Randy to start.
-On January 19, Lexy started rolling all over the place!  Way to cute!  I can't believe how active and independent she already is.  I have video on her rolling which I'll have to post later.  Too cute!

They are at such a fun and cute stage right now!  I'm having so much fun with them!  I love my babies.  It is amazing how you can love someone so much!  They are my everything.  And I would have to say that I have the most incredible husband!  He most definitely deserves an A+ for Daddyhood!  He is so wonderful with them!  I couldn't ask for a better husband and father for my babies.  I love my little family and I thank God every day for the wonderful blessings in my life!!!

Until next time!!  :-)
