Longest Year Ever

The twins are now 16 months old.

Wait...What?!?!

Yeah. Already.

You know how people always say that the first year just passes by SOOOO quickly? Lies, all of it. The first year of the twins' life felt like i did 20 years time, strapped to a yoga ball, and forced to watch reruns of Jersey Shore over and over...

and over...

The boys didn't walk until they were 13 months old, which is pretty normal, especially since they are 2 months premature. They have no security objects, they don't suck their thumbs, have pacifiers, special blankets, etc. That's a good thing for the most part, but it also means that at night, they do not want to go to sleep. They also are not cuddlers, not in the least. They never let me rock them to sleep, hold them while they were sleeping, heck they rarely even let me hold them at all. The real kicker here though, is that they didn't start sleeping through the night, until last month.

See. Longest year ever.

Oh, and they pretty much despise each other. How does that happen?! They are twins for crying out loud, IDENTICAL TWINS! They play pretty nasty, and fight over everything. Which brings me to the point of this whole post.

I'm going to wrap them in bubble wrap! Boys play so much harder than girls. They are only a year old and they beat each other up constantly. They bite, hit, and kick, push each other off of thing, head butt each other. It's crazy. I swear one day i'm going to get them some padded baby suits, mouth guards, and helmets.

Teenage years are going to be fun.

Teenage years with identical twin boys.

Yeah...
