I’m so behind on blogging about my babies because adequately capturing their personalities and adorable traits in a blog post seems so daunting to me. So, unfortunately I just haven’t been writing at all! It’s so important for my own sake that I do, since I’m not good at keeping a baby book! Here goes…
This past year has been one full year. Truly the best and most difficult year of my life. Both the longest and shortest year ever! I can’t help but feel a sense of regret that I didn’t enjoy it more, especially the first 6 months, and yet I know that the best I could do…
I decided to break up the twins’ monthly post this time around because I have so many photos to share! My dear friend Amanda came over to hang out with me and the babies and asked if it would be ok that she bring her camera along. Yes of course!! :) I loved every minute…

It also helps them identifying what they are feeling as a reason for acting out in a tantrum. Such as, Abe, you are frustrated because I had you stop playing with the ball for snack time, it’s time to eat your banana.
Once I learned and practiced positive discipline with my child, it made so much sense and was a true game changer in the way I parented and the way my child responded to me.
Julie - I just wanted to say that my son is an Abram too and is 15 months old as well! It’s funny bc I found you when I was researching twin blogs bc we are expecting twins in May :) I loved your pregnancy pics! Thnx for sharing!
