I wanted to share more Pomegranate Chocolate Chunk cookie pictures with you but my photog session was hijacked by these 2 cuties. And then I got sidetracked by adorable babies sitting in front of a christmas tree…..

There have been so many months I’ve wanted to write a baby post for you all. Share pictures each month, tell you what they are doing, what my life is like day-to-day, etc…..but I’m lucky enough to even remember to take those month to month pictures. Life was crazy for a while, a long while, like 7 months while and then something wonderful happened. Naps started lasting longer (not that I don’t love playing with these boys but momma needs a break longer than 20 min sometimes), a schedule started to appear, and the boys are starting to entertain each other while I get some other stuff done. Which in return frees up some time for my poor neglected blog. Woop woop!! I see baking in my very near future!!!! :)
Since I’ve been so bad about posting, I thought I would give you a recap of our last 9 months in pictures. Sound good??!?
Boys came home from the NICU when they were 3 1/2 weeks old. Here they are at about 5 weeks

So excited for our 1st christmas as a family!! (Oliver / Aiden)
Hope you enjoyed the picture roll! As you can tell, the boys don’t miss a meal and they are strong and healthy! You would never know they were 7 weeks early! Weighing in at about 22 lbs each and finally starting to thin out now that they are army crawling around the house. Who needs a gym membership, just get yourself a chunky baby or two. :) ps….Can someone please point me in the direction of the “pause button”? Life is going way to fast!
I hope to be gracing your computer screen often with either yummy food photos or adorable baby pics!! Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season so far! :)

Loved following your blog & your little family (an adoring G’ma here.) But I noticed that Brent is always holding Oliver..hmm. any special reason? more active?? ??
I noticed that when I was posting the pictures. I think it just happened that way when it was time for the picture. No specific reason. We need to switch babies next time. Haha!

Oh my goodness, what a post full of baby deliciousness! How absolutely precious. I’m a twin. I loved growing up with a twin sister and we are still the best of friends. She’s in one of my more recent posts, I think the shrimp linguine.
she lives in Fl and I live in Seattle so we don’t see each other often. But we talk or text every day. You are in for a fun adventure! And may I say you look fabulous! And after twins! Best wishes to you and happiest of holidays.
Your boys are just adorable, Brooke. Those chubby cheeks! Aw.
LOVE the recap! Such a BEAUTIFUL family. So glad we get to watch them grow up and spend more time with you!
Brooke, great pics and recap of the past 9 months,love you all soooo much!
