Luci - sorry to hear about your great grannie
Hope you are holding up okay.
Max is teething, and is up on his knees rocking back abnd forth he can easily get up and down from belly to knees and practices it alot and then rocks wen I put him on the ground.
I don't even think he is going to commando crawl much at all, he does it backwards but he gets upset cos he always goes the opposite drection to where he wants to be!
Aria has no interest in crawling and just turns in circles. Both babies have been good in a good routine but Max threw it all out by just refusing to sleep I think because of his teeth.
Aria is still very unpredictable, she always seems to have a good week then a bad one can't predict any of it so I am very much on my feet a lot with the babies. I get barely any time to myself anymore except when I can sometimes synch their sleeping.
This is the first time I have sat down at the computer in ages, I have to quickly check stuff on my phone during the day.
Max refuses to take a bottle still. He took one the the other week but has decided to trick me and not take them again. I do want to try get him on formula and I try every day but I am unsure if he will ever take to a bottle.
Both babies eating x3 meals a day and we have started givving them finger foods cut up small pieces of steamed veges. They love it, they play with the food while we eat our tea and then we will feed them their own lumpy mash and whatever finger food they have left. They have the chewing thing down really good now.
Its good for us too as finally we are able to sit at the table and eat together at the same time and the babies are quiet playing with their food. Only took us 7 months! I couldn't tell you how many times we all ate in front of the tv sprawled out on the floor this year OH and I scoffing our faces like its our last meal with a baby whinging in each of our arms lol
Wedding plans have sort of come to a halt I have been too busy. We brought our rings but havn't booked the celebrant or got our license yet and we had a whole bunch of bills come up and I'm worried we wont have enough so it may just be the ceremony and thats it. I'm okay with that though, kinda don't want to have a party with our families anyways, I'm pissed at them all for the lack of support we have had. We have called out for help so many times with the twins and nothing so I'm not really into a celebration mood and providing a free party for my friends and family. Haha I know that sounds terrible but really! Example, OH's dad had 6 weeks free and promised to come help us out but when he never showed not even once afterwards he said he didn't realise how hard it would be to look after his 6 and 8 (9?) year olds which is a LAME excuse. That's the sort of attitude everyone we know has dealt us or the whole "I'm too tired to help, I was out all night drinking and I just wanna sleep" saying that to a mum of twins who hasn't slept for months grrrr
I really couldn't care less about celebrating it with the people we know, I'd rather go out with OH and the kids somewhere special instead TBH
Considering I have always been the first person out to help my friends and family when they have needed it and bent over backwards even put myself out of pocket helping people we know so I will remember this when anyone wants me to be a babysitter or asks me for help later on, we barely talk to anyone anymore even our friends have all buggered off.
I have lost 6 kgs! That is from diet alone Gluten and dairy free. I'm very strict on what I eat now and my health has improved so much!! have cut out almost all refined sugar too apart from the occasional treat and am one of 'those' people who order a soy chai latte for a treat when I go out haha Was doing some exercise too but my routine got out of whack and babies needed me so havn't in a few weeks but am hoping to get back into it soon.
Dunno when I will update next but Have a merry Xmas everyone! and Happy New Year!!
