Chandler and Chayce
I am so in love with these babies!! They are so sweet and so good. I really can't complain. Sure their nights and days are a little confused but that has actually been getting a little better. The last two nights we have put them to bed at about 9:30pm they have then woken up at 1:30am which I (mom) try to take that shift. When I hear one baby cry I quickly feed him, burp him and change his diaper. Then I lay him down and pick up and wake up the next baby. (Total time takes about 1 hour) If I am lucky they are not crying at the same time, if they are I have to wake up Chad. I try not to wake Chad so that way he can do the next shift which happens to be around 5:30am or 6:00am. That way Chad gets a full night of uninterrupted sleep. Since I usually have the opportunity to take a nap at some point during the day. This has worked the last two nights...lets see if we can continue this. I like this routine!!!

I LOVE to snuggle both babies at the same time. It gets a little tricky but their is nothing like two sleeping, warm babies cuddled on top of you.

These little guys are LOVED by their older siblings. It is so sweet to see the older kids love them, talk in high voices to them and take care of them and their other baby brother Nicholas.

Then it gets a little crazy!!! Nicholas is starting to have a hard time. Which makes me so sad. He is the sweetest little guy and I hate to see him sad. This is often h0w he is, either hanging on Chad or my leg. It is definitely a balancing act, making sure everyone feels enough love and attention. The kids are demanding right now, I guess they are just trying to find their place. I was told by someone that they see it as "A Lovely Piece of Chaos". I would have to agree and wouldn't change a thing!
