Twin Tested Life

My twins are 9 months old.

Nine.

Months.

I truly do not understand how we got here so fast.

Every time I switch them into a new clothing size, I swear it lasts two seconds before I’m pulling out the next bin. I’ll fold away the smaller sleepers thinking, okay this size will last a while… and then suddenly their little ankles are peeking out again.

My boys are tall. Like, consistently long. So even when the weight still technically fits, the length never does. Footie pajamas become capris overnight.

And Kane.

Sweet Kane.

The baby who fought so hard in the beginning. The baby who once felt so tiny in my arms. He just made it onto the growth charts for weight.

He’s a 2 percent baby now.

And I cannot even explain what that feels like.

Two percent might sound small to someone else. But to me, it is everything. It is progress. It is proof. It is resilience. It is months of feeding, worrying, tracking, praying, and celebrating every single ounce.

Watching him grow, even slowly, feels like watching a miracle unfold in real time.

Both of my boys are changing right in front of me. They’re crawling faster. Pulling up. Babbling more. Looking less like babies and more like little boys every day.

Sometimes I catch myself staring at them thinking, slow down.

Stay little just a bit longer.

But at the same time, I am so incredibly proud of how far they have come. Especially Kane. Especially after everything.

Nine months ago I was in survival mode.

Today I’m packing away clothes that don’t fit anymore and wondering how I blinked and missed it.

Motherhood is the strangest mix of wanting time to slow down and being so grateful for every day that passes.

If you’re in the thick of it right now, I promise, one day you’ll look up and realize they are 9 months old and somehow outgrowing everything again.

And your heart will feel both full and fragile at the same time.

I am so proud of my tall boys.

I am so proud of my 2 percent baby.

And I am trying my best to soak in every inch they grow.
