Dear google, what is the safest way to stunt a baby's growth?


Well, as of yesterday, my baby girls are six months old!  -insert big, whiny sad face here-  I can't believe how fast 6 months can go by!  It seems like just yesterday I was waddling around the neighborhood in pain, wondering what kind of chaos was in store for me once I finally got my babies out of me. 
After days of begging and pleading, my doctor finally decided to induce me.  10 hours, too many contractions and a few sketchy moments later, my 2 little beauties were finally here!  Even though it feels like yesterday, my tiny babies are now these chubby little babes with very interesting personalities!  A lot changes in a very short amount of time. 
So, I guess we'll start with Loralye...who has been dubbed "LJ".  That is the nick name her uncle Siwwy came up with when she was just a little butter bean in my belly.  LJ has the sweetest little personality.  She is very easily entertained these days.  If she's not in her favorite little jumper, she is perfectly content just laying on a blanket while she happily squeals at the top of her lungs.  She has one and a half teeth...the second one just hasn't quite popped through yet.  Loralye LOVES to eat!  She sticks her thumb in her mouth between every bite and then lets out an impatient squeal if you dont feed her fast enough.  Her favorite food is bananas and she would eat it all day if I would let her.  She absolutely adores her big sissy!  Veda and Loralye have a special little bond.  Every morning, veda crawls into her crib, just to lay down and cuddle with her.  And loralye just lays there quietly, watching every move Veda makes.  Throughout every day, she keeps her eyes locked on her big sissy and giggles at every noise she makes.  She really is such a happy baby, unless she's tired.  But, as soon as she's in her bed, she falls asleep very easily, which is something I can really appreciate!  Out of all of the crazy girls in our house, LJ is definitely the sweetest. 
Now, onto sweet baby August.  This wild woman is still challenging me every chance she gets!  God specifically gave her to me in order to teach me patience.  I figure by the time she is 18, I will be able to consider patience my super power.  She has 2 little adorable teeth, and even though it took her some time, she has become a great eater.  Her favorite food is oatmeal cereal.  I don't know why...its absolutely disgusting.  Yes...I have tried it.  Why practice self control when I can very easily satisfy my curiosity?  Don't judge me.  If you are ever curious about how any kind of baby food tastes, just ask this girl.  I have an amazing palate for baby food.  So, back to August!  She looks more and more like her daddy every day...something about her round little eyes.  She is very easy to please.  As long as she's able to roll onto her belly and hang out, she is a happy girl.  She is so ready to get moving!  If her little brain could get that chubby little body off the floor, she would be all over the house!  The poor girl spits up about 80% of the day.  She doesn't seem to mind, but im sure I've mentioned how much I dread laundry!  I will happily welcome the day when spit up is no longer in my vocabulary...or my laundry.  August is a very happy baby and she laughs about everything!  No matter what you say or do, somehow its funny to her.  Even when you change her diaper, she just chuckles the whole time.  She always has a hard time getting herself to sleep, but once she gets to sleep, I swear she could sleep all day!  Although she is the more difficult baby, she is so sweet!  I look forward to waking up every morning and hearing her sweet little giggle.
Six months went by way to fast!  Seems like I could blink and they'd be toddlers already!  Id give anything to keep them little and chubby forever.  They are the most amazing little girls.  And even when I find myself unshowered, hungry, covered in mashed peas and spit up, and holding on to my sanity by a thread, I can't help but thank God for these 3 spectacular little girls.
