The Nicolls Twins - Ryan Christopher and Addison Denise

One month

I can't believe the twins are one month old.  It has flown by and they have already changed so much. 

Ryan is holding his head up on his own quite a bit now and is so alert and aware of his surroundings.  He finally started to breastfeed this week and is now OBSESSED with nursing.  If I let him, I think he would nurse all day long.

Addison is much more quiet and calm still and likes to cuddle up and sleep a lot, especially on Mommy.  She is still learning to nurse but eats from the bottle like a champ.  We have to make her take lots of breaks while she is eating or she will gulp one down in just a few minutes.

I am trying to slow down and enjoy every day since I know they will be crawling toddlers before we know it.

To celebrate them being one month old, we took pictures of them next to their teddy bears.  This is a tradition started by our great friends the Morales Crew with their daughters and I always thought it was a great way to show how much the babies grow each month. 



Smile!

These pictures show just how much bigger Ryan is than Addison.  He is becoming quite the chunky monkey.



Did I mention how LONG he has gotten?


Getting them to pose together was somewhat of a challenge...


Happy One-Month Birthday to the Dynamic Duo!

  1. I didn't realize how much bigger Ryan is than Addison - Wow! I love the pictures next to teddy bear idea - it really shows how fast they grow, I wish I would have done that with Aiden (those Morales'es's have some good ideas)! P.S. I really hope you didn't actually post this at 3:05am like it says :)

  2. Oh yes, it was 3:05 a.m. I only have a chance to work on the blog while I'm pumping. At least it makes the 30 minutes go by faster ;)
