The Savage Family: 6 Months Old Today!

I never thought this moment would come, but it has...my babies are 6 months old today! That's one half of a year that they have been in our lives. Six months ago, I had this...

My 6 month olds!

I can honestly say, that these have been the best 6 months of my life. I truly don't remember life before my babies were born. They have brought more love into my life then I could have ever imagined and true joy and happiness to every day. Six months ago, I would have never thought that I would ever reach a point where I would love being a mom to twins. The few weeks after they were born, were perhaps the hardest weeks of my life and at times, I truly thought none of us would survive. However, I can honestly say that I HAVE reached the point where I adore each and every second of having twin girls.

Before they were born, I heard from many twin parents that 6 months was the breaking point, the time where things got easy. I've waited for this day and I cannot believe that it is finally here! Honestly the time has flown! And I can say, that most days, things have become "easy." My girls can now play with each other, talk back and forth, smile and laugh at each other and are truly starting to form a bond that I hope will stay with them for a lifetime. I feel so incredibly lucky to have twins and to top it off, two of the cutest, sweetest girls I've ever seen! HAPPY HALF BIRTHDAY SADIE AND MACY, I cannot wait to watch you continue to grow and change throughout the next six months!! Thank you for making me the happiest Mom in the whole world! I love you both!

So, without further ado, the SIX MONTH PICTURES!!

I thought I'd throw in a few extra pictures! This is a picture of the girls in their new hats sent from Aunt LeeAnne and Uncle Harry in MN! They have the girls names on them and they are perhaps one of my favorite gifts that the girls have received! I just love them!
