It's incredible what can happen in 2 weeks!

Well since you've heard from us last Aspen has had her helmet sized and fitted. Minus a few growing pains and loss of hair, overall it is going very well! We can already see HUGE improvement and you will be able to see it in the pictures below! She is wearing it 23hours a day and during the 1hour off we wash her head or bathe her and then give her head as many kisses as possible until we put the helmet back on! The other thing is lots of tummy time. Since her helmet adds a lot of weight she is having trouble holding her head up with the helmet on so we are taking it slow!
I found a "Hannah photo shoot" in between all of my pictures and thought I'd share a few... Yep that's a picture of the greatest Husband, Father, and Man alive :)

Sadie licking her chops!

And Mystic taking a bath.... who knows, Hannah may just end up a photographer! She's pretty good for only being 3 on her way to 4!

So here is a side shot of Aspen... Only 2 short weeks ago the back of her head was entirely flat! Flat as a board to be exact! It is starting to round out very nicely!

And the girls having fun together on their tummies during the hour Aspen's helmet was off..

Here are the girls hanging out as Hannah and I get ready to bake cookies while John paints the playroom, they just woke up and Brooke looks like she is still asleep :)

Aspen is very serious about her toys!

SO excited!
Why not pose with the sprinkles? ;)
I am so grateful for a Husband who listens to my ideas and dreams, and then helps me bring them to reality! We are working really hard at having organization and order at the top of our lists! The office, located right off of the kitchen, is now turning into the playroom so that all of the girls toys have a home (With 3 there are a lot!). When the girls get old enough we will relocate it upstairs in the bonus room but for now we need them close to keep all 4 of our eyes on them!

A short period of instruction time...
and to work Hannah went!

Not exactly like the plan, but it works!


And of course (above Hannah's head) the room was tagged with an H!

We are coming up on 5 months old November 8th and we have NO clue where the time has gone! The girls are getting so big, cute, and chunky! A long way from 4lbs11oz and 5lbs1oz! They are incredibly happy babies and Hannah, John, and I are having so much fun with them. Twins are a challenge, at times we have no clue how we made it through the day especially when they wake up at 4am, but we are continuously blessed by them even at such a young age. We are excited to see what we learn from the both of them as we learn something new from Hannah everyday!

Brooke and Hannah
Hannah and Aspen
Girls girls everywhere, not a drop of blue around!
And here are some videos to enjoy!



We have the changing table right next to the window and the girls love to yell at the trees. Gigantic mobiles when the wind is blowing! So here is Aspen yelling at them!

Brooke has learned to blow bubbles and spit! Lovely! Her shirts are constantly soaked!

Aspen has learned that scooting with her helmet on is a piece of cake and we constantly find her on the other side of the room! She's definitely going to be the "scooter!"

Brooke has learned to roll from her tummy to her back and she will definitely be the "roller!" Oh no! Only 4+ months old and already mobile!


This last one is super cute! As the girls show more and more interest in food we let them gum on some carrots while we were eating lunch... they loved them! If we tried to take them out they threw little fits until we gave them back! You'll hear Brooke in the background start to cry as I let the carrot fall out of her mouth when I was taping Aspen... little Boogers! Maybe they'll be healthy little eaters! Starting off on the right foot for sure!

It's hilarious how they KNOW what they want even at such a young age and KNOW how to work the system! TOO cute! And wow - the helmet is really making a big change in a short amount of time. Really amazing!
