The first 6 months

The first few months with R&R are kind of a blur. The main things I remember are that it seemed like I was always feeding a baby, and I was so tired most of the time that I felt like a zombie. More than that though, I remember the feeling of pure happiness and contentment. I have wanted to be a mother for as long as I can remember, and all of the sudden, I had two perfect little baby girls that depended on me (and Matt) for everything. I instantly felt like the luckiest person on the planet, even when I was up at 2 am feeding 2 babies, or rushing through bath time because they both screamed at the top of their lungs the entire time.
 
Ryleigh and Reagan are really such great babies, and they have been from the start. We had them sleeping through the night consistently by around 2 months, and from that point, I would say that things started to get a bit easier every day. Although, I’ve been told I might change my mind about that though once they start walking, as that is when it starts getting hard again!

Every day is an amazing adventure! They are eating baby foods now. They just ate peas for the first time yesterday, and they both had the most disgusted looks on their faces and were spitting out every bite.  I couldn’t really blame them, because I hate peas! Today when we tried them again for lunch, they ate them right up! Both Ryleigh and Reagan are babbling like crazy, especially Reagan! Some switch was hit on Sunday with her, and she started babbling all. day. long. And now she is throwing different sounds together. It’s so funny. Reagan got her first teeth about a month ago. She got her first 2 bottom teeth at the same time! No wonder we were having so much teething trouble with her for a while! Ryleigh just got her first bottom tooth 3 days ago. They are both rolling all over the place when we lay them on the floor to play, and we work on sitting up every day…but so far, Reagan does it for about 20 seconds and falls over, and Ryleigh gets excited and throws herself backward most of the time. I love watching them become interested in toys and learning new things about the world around them. It’s so much fun, and I feel so blessed that I get to be home with them every day and not have to miss any of it. The greatest thing though, is that they are SO different. They look so different and they act so different! Ryleigh is thin and is getting a good bit of blonde hair, while Reagan is chunky and still just has fuzz on her head. Ryleigh has dark navy blue eyes, Reagan has light blue eyes. Ryleigh is a bit spastic and can’t be still….ever. Reagan is more chill and is happy to just sit or lay still and play. So far, Ryleigh is a momma’s girl, and Reagan is a daddy’s girl. It’s so fun because I get to interact with them both differently. There is never a dull moment in the Diggs' house.

Below are some of my favorite pictures that we have of our precious babies so far. These are from 1 month-6 months.
