Two Six-Year-Olds


Today, my beautiful baby girls turned six-years-old. They have brought more joy to my life than I could ever imagine. Last year, I conducted an interview of my then five-year-olds.

Once again, they answered some of the questions pretty differently, with a few more things in common this year than they did last year:

  • Their age, obviously
  • The color pink
  • Their favorite animal: monkeys
  • Their love of the movie Frozen
  • Eating crackers
  • The monkey bars
  • The world's best holiday - Mother's Day
  • Going to grandma's house
  • Being a teacher when they grow up

Six-Year-Old Stats:
Natalee - 51 pounds, 47.5 inches (up 6.5 lbs and 2.5 inches at age 5)
Lyla - 36.8, 43 inches (up 3.8 lbs and 1.5 inches at age 5)

Needless to say, people typically look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them they are twins. They don't look anything alike and Natalee easily looks a year (maybe two) older than Lyla. I wouldn't change a thing about them. They are both perfect, wonderful, beautiful, sweet, caring, smart baby girls. I am so lucky I get to be their momma. So lucky. Seriously, I hit the daughter jackpot with these three.
