different for every baby |

|
21:30:55 |

21:40:58 |
bonellen |

21:43:34 |

21:44:05 |

|
21:44:12 |
kiddo |
awwww |
|
21:44:16 |
toma |
just gathering info |
|
21:44:19 |
toma |
:) |
|
21:44:26 |
WeeHands |
babywearing is wearing your baby in a sling or soft carrier
- it's wonderful! |
|
21:44:27 |
toma |
they are cuties |
|
21:44:34 |
toma |
ah |
|
21:44:41 |
kiddo |
congrats, boys, girls? |
|
21:44:47 |
toma |
both girls, fraternal |
|
21:44:56 |
WeeHands |
I encourage to wear their babies while walking and signing
outdoors because babies in front facing strollers can't see
your signs! |
|
21:45:00 |
kiddo |
very cool |
|
21:45:16 |
WeeHands |
hello lactationlady! love the name! |
|
21:45:37 |
bonellen |
awesome name! |
|
21:45:59 |
WeeHands |
it's going to be soo cute to see the twins signing to each
other in about 7-9 months! |
|
21:46:42 |
toma |
yes, im very excited to teach them |
|
21:47:46 |
WeeHands |
are you amazed at how much your world has changed?! |
|
21:47:53 |
toma |
oh yeah |
|
21:48:12 |
toma |
its completely turned upside down, and i love it |
|
21:48:56 |
WeeHands |
that's so awesome to hear! |
|
21:49:26 |
toma |
we've been lucky so far |
|
21:49:40 |
toma |
they've only had a few nights that have been bad so far |
|
21:50:18 |
toma |
most of the time they will sleep about 4 hours straight
before one wakes up to eat |
|
21:50:56 |
WeeHands |
amazing! |
|
21:51:07 |
kiddo |
wow, i don't think either of mine did that until 6 mo. old,
and that was one at a time. |
|
21:51:08 |
WeeHands |
and the first 6 weeks are typically the hardest |
|
21:51:45 |
WeeHands |
i had a hard time coordinating nap times for a 2 year old
and a newborn. . .I'm impressed! |
|
21:51:56 |
toma |
one wakes up, then we have to wake the other up to eat |
|
21:52:08 |
WeeHands |
they don't wake each other up? |
|
21:52:11 |
toma |
they don't seem to wake each other up |
|
21:52:35 |
kiddo |
u coordinated (hehehe) I'm sure my boys were plotting
against me in their room, 12 mo. apart and never slept at
the same time |
|
21:52:39 |
WeeHands |
wow |
|
21:52:46 |
toma |
haha |
|
21:53:53 |
kiddo |
when they start signing its awsome, my oldest would tease
the other in sign, ask him if he wanted a bottle to get his
brother excited and then sign 'no' |
|
21:54:15 |
WeeHands |
oh that's so mean! |
|
21:54:17 |
toma |
haha mean! but funny |
|
21:54:24 |
WeeHands |
yet, kinda funny! |
|
21:54:31 |
WeeHands |
ah! |
|
21:54:43 |
toma |
is that baby bjorn thing like babywearing? |
|
21:55:09 |
kiddo |
now the little one signs 'no' to the older one, motivation
to sign |
|
21:56:26 |
WeeHands |
:) |
|
21:56:43 |
WeeHands |
