And now it’s time to kiss the holidays goodbye! 😘💕👋🏻 Ames and Joules did SUCH a great job hanging in there while we spent the past 2 days visiting both sides of our families (including grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, great uncles, cousin, etc). It was definitely the first Christmas that the twins seemed to really understand what was happening—which made it so enjoyable for all of us! When they opened up gifts, their smiles, squeals, and constant requests to “Open! Open!” each toy’s packaging let us know they were excited and having fun. ☺️ Now that these two have a new treasure chest of toys to go through, we plan to spend the day relaxing and playing at home today! Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday with loved ones. 🥰

This room has always been a happy room to me. When we found out we were pregnant with twins, I knew exactly which room in our house would be theirs—the one with all the airy light! ✨☀️This room faces the West so in the afternoons the sun shines in there and brightens it up. I sat in this room in this chair when I was very pregnant with back pain. I rocked the twins in this chair when they were newborns. And as they’ve grown, Ames and Joules like to sit in this chair together. These are the simple things that make me happy! My favorite people in my favorite chair in my favorite room. What’s your favorite part about your kids’ room(s)? ☺️✨💞

Happy Saturday from our lunch date to yours! 🤗🍽 I’ve always loved facing the twins toward each other when they eat. It’s not something I do every day, but when I do - it makes me smile! It’s cute to watch them watch each other! For those of you with twins, do you face yours toward each other during meals or side-by-side? ❤️❤️

Our swim babies last year vs. this year!! 💦💙💕 http://liketk.it/2C5Nl #liketkit @liketoknow.it

It’s finally time to share this post! When the pediatrician told me in February that Joules was farsighted in her right eye and that she would need to be seen by an ophthalmologist, I was in complete denial. I remember telling myself that the doctor’s assessment was probably just off and that the eye doctor would tell us that everything was okay. Joules had always acted like she could see perfectly! Well, I was wrong.
_
We took Joules to the ophthalmologist where they confirmed something was wrong with her right eye. We then took her to get a second opinion where they again confirmed something was wrong. She is farsighted with accommodative esotropia in her right eye. This essentially means that she has trouble seeing close up and her right eye is slightly misaligned inward sometimes.
_
The good news is that we caught this extremely early! The earlier you catch something like this, the better the outcome. The other news is that she has to patch her good eye for 2 hours daily (to strengthen her weak eye) and wear glasses the rest of the time each day. Let me tell you how “fun” it is trying to get a 1.5-year-old to stop ripping off her eye patch and glasses every 5 seconds. 🤪 She will likely have to wear glasses for the next 7 years – until she’s old enough to wear contacts.
_
Let me be clear that there is NOTHING wrong with wearing glasses! I actually wear contacts/glasses myself! The apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree.🍎 And I think Joules looks just as beautiful with her new accessory!! I think I was just in denial because, as parents, we never wish for our kids to have ANY hurdles in life. In the end, though, this won’t really matter and I love her JUST the same. 💜
_
I’m sharing this now because this past week was the FIRST time we could get Joules to wear her glasses for more than a few seconds! 🎉
_
When Ames first saw Joules in her glasses, he ran into the playroom, grabbed a pair of sunglasses, put them on, and ran back to her. In essence, Joules has support from her twin, the rest of her family, and hopefully you!
_
Please tell my sweet girl how beautiful she looks in her new gear!! 😍💜💕😎🎉

Behind this smile, I’m just a mama on vacation desperately missing her twin babies!! 😭 Confession: As much as Rob and I have loved every moment of having this time alone with no kids, we’ve ended up FaceTiming both Ames and Joules EVERY day of our trip (we can’t help it!!!). Is it just us?? How often do you end up checking in with your littles when you’re away from them?

Things I love about Arizona: 1) the desert land is spectacularly beautiful in its own unique way, 2) it may be hot, but it’s dry heat which is great for hair staying put 😉, 3) the sunsets are gorgeous, and 4) it gives me a reason to wear cute plaid shirts and shorts like this! 😍 Have you ever been to Arizona before?🌵 http://liketk.it/2Bs7e #liketkit @liketoknow.it Shop my outfit by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app 💕

Best friends doing best friend things. 💛💞👫I remember when we first got these rockers as baby shower gifts. When I set up their nursery—from cribs to mobiles to a musical snow globe—these rockers were the finishing touch. Every solitary day now, Joules and Ames drag them out of their room and rock away together in the living room. If that’s not sweet, then I don’t know what is. 🥰 http://liketk.it/2ATKW #liketkit #LTKbaby #LTKkids @liketoknow.it Download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app to shop this pic via screenshot

With a face like that, you can never have too many mirrors! 💁🏼‍♀️ Joules has now discovered my makeup station and she is taking all liberties to look through everything! It reminds me of when my sister and I were toddlers and would casually come out of the bathroom with clown faces after “secretly” playing with our mother’s lipstick. Good times.💄😂

Do you ever worry about your baby’s head shape? I did. When the twins were ~4 months old, I was concerned about the back of Ames’s head being flat.

Plagiocephaly is what we call it in the medical world. Basically, it’s a flat spot on the skull that develops in nearly 50% of infants. Babies skulls are soft, and normal surfaces they rest on can be just firm enough to lead to some misshaping.

The good news is that it’s preventable and reversible if caught early. Ames’s head is now perfectly round and we were able to reverse his issue in a matter of just a few weeks!

A few reasons why we see plagiocephaly a good bit in multiples:
1)Lack of womb space can lead to distortion of the head.
2)It can be hard to keep twins constantly repositioned, especially when they’re newborns or young infants that can’t crawl/walk yet.
3)The “Back is Best” sleep campaign to reduce SIDS we’ve all heard about from our pediatricians encourages parents to keep infants sleeping on their backs. While I fully support the idea, it inevitably forces babies to spend more time pressing their skulls against surfaces.

So...keep them moving when they’re awake! Reposition those babies as often as you can, such as supervised tummy time!! But also remember: if it does happen, it’s not your fault. I was incredibly diligent with my twins, but it still happened.

In my son’s case, we also bought a special head-shaping memory foam pillow that Ames slept on every day. Within 3-4 weeks of consistent use (from 4-5 months old), his head was 100% back to normal. Had it been worse, the next step would have been to put him in a shaping helmet. Luckily, we were able to avoid that completely.

I just wanted to share this post to spread some awareness to the issue as it’s fairly common in twins and multiples. I would love to hear if anyone else went through a similar experience. Did your babies ever have flat spots?

Two little “Twindians” just glamping in the living room... because their play room looks like a toy store explosion! How do you keep your house organized with little ones and all their toys? Do you pick them up at the end of every day or just leave them all out? My sore back wants to know. 😂

BYE-BYE BOTTLES! 👋🏻Hellooooo, whole milk! We have officially transitioned OFF of bottles and formula as of this week, right before the twins turned 13 months. Moving over to 100% sippy cup and cow’s milk was truly a seamless transition for us. Woo hoo! After I mentioned this huge milestone in my post yesterday, several of you asked me HOW we did this - so I stayed up last night and wrote about it for ya.😉 Read my latest blog post - link in bio! For those with older kids, how old were yours when they ditched the bottles for sippy cups? 🍼👉🏻🥛

How are Ames and Joules already 13 months old today?! While there are so many awesome perks to them getting older, it makes getting out of the house a LOT easier. One of the most exciting milestones we reached earlier this week was we completely weaned off of bottles!! When I was watching them drink the bottle I knew would be their last, I almost felt sad. My babies are no longer babies. 😭 Cheers to more freedom, sippy cups, and a bunch of whole milk, y’all! 🥛👈🏻 http://liketk.it/2yrFy #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I am so happy to be back with these twins today!! After being with their Dad while I worked this past weekend, the FIRST thing they both showed me this morning was how they learned to give high fives while I was away! So that they have another new trick to show their Dad when he gets home tonight, I then taught Joules and Ames how to use a straw for the first time...but it wasn’t the normal kind! 🙌🏻 After the whole “banning plastic straws” movement, we recently added some @healthyhumanlife stainless steel straws and water bottles to our kitchen collection. I’ve come to realize that these straws and cups are not only an eco-friendly lifestyle change, but they’ve come in handy when I’m at work. My hospital shifts are typically 13 hours long and these cups keep a drink hot for 24 hours or cold for 12 hours — so it’s basically perfect for work. Seeing as how my husband laid claim on the 32 oz one as soon as I took it out of the box the other week, it’s not a bad gift idea if you’re looking for one. ☺️ You can get @healthyhumanlife products with 10% off on Amazon using the code JOYNER10 until 12.31.18.💙🖤 http://liketk.it/2ylgT #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Most pediatric experts recommend that parents start sleep training their kids (or in our case, twins) at 4-6 months of age. But do you know WHY they say to wait until then to sleep train? By 4-6 months, infants have probably reached a few important milestones including:
1) they can self-soothe
2) they’ve developed some sort of regular sleep-wake cycle
3) they’ve probably dropped most if not all of their night feedings
4) they likely weigh enough to go all night without feeds (i.e. at least 12-13 pounds). Yesterday, I took a poll about what twin parents wanted to hear about and several people responded with sleep training. In case you haven’t read it before, I’ve linked my blog post in my bio about how our twins slept through the night (7-8 hours) at 4️⃣ months!

Everyone’s reactions when they found out whether they’re on the “nutty” or nice list. 😂🎄🎅🏼 These two reindeer and their soldier friend are SO excited to share a secret with you! @smockedauctions is having a Friends and Family sale from TODAY, Nov 8th through 11th. Joules and Ames pulled some reindeer strings and got all of us a secret 20% off code on the @smockedauctions website: “MICHELLE20”. Time to go get your twins some cute Christmas PJs! ❤️ http://liketk.it/2y7Lf #liketkit @liketoknow.it Screenshot this pic to get shoppable product details with the LIKEtoKNOW.it app

Predictable in....3....2...1! These two are inseparable. Oftentimes, Ames wakes up from naps before Joules. As soon as I’ve taken him to the other room, he goes right back into the nursery to wake up his favorite sister. They can’t go a second without each other! Going to miss these two when I work this weekend!! 👫
