Hard age...vent
Hi
The girls are doing so well and are becoming their own little people now. I love watching them discover new things but at the same rate they are becoming a hand full!! 0-3 months were a breeze for us but 4/5 months is rough LOL
They are way more demanding,teething and now for the past week they have been getting up every 3 hours like they were newborns again. They get bored quickly with their play mats and toys so its hard for me to entertain them 24/7. We have our good days and bad days of course.
I have a hard time consoling both so when they start to fuss when I am alone and out with them (ie:a friends house) its easier for me to pack up and come home where we are more comfortable. I love this age but at the same rate its becoming the hardest yet. I cant wait for them to be a little more self sufficient so I can help one at a time.
Any advice/words of encouragement?

Just take things one day at a time, and know that it will get better. I know from about 4 to 6 months old I wanted to rip my hair out on a daily basis. After about 6 months old they started sleeping better again, and were generally just happier and easier to comfort.
You can do it!
Our nighttime sleep has also gotten much worse-- they were sleeping through the night, or close, for a while, now they are up at least once, sometimes twice a night.
I am lucky because they are napping better, and they also have been enjoying their toys more.
But whenever things get tough, I just think, "this cannot last forever!"
And, I have also had the moments where we're out and they fall apart and I have to just come home to deal with them. I hate it, but I feel better when they are crying at home and not bothering anyone else.
Thats a hard age bc they want to do more and are much more aware but they just cant make thier little bodies move the way they want. so I feel they actually need more attention than when they were 0-3 months hahaha!
IMO I will say once LO learns to roll it gets easier but when they crawl?cruise it gets exhausting but easier i think. I find now they fight but at least they will entertain each other. That is until some one gets out of hand and bites the other one or tackels them hahaha.
Pretty soon they will be moving better and then you will be posting how exhausted you are from chasing them hahaha! I will say so far it doesnt get "better" just different.
No real words of advice but before you know it it will be almost a year and they will be starting to walk! Enjoy the stationary entertainment while you can!!

I feel that way about since about 18 months and for me, its just getting worse. The terrible twos with two is HARD.
Jealously is at an all time high in our house right now. I always try to be fair but I also like to give them one on one time when DH is home and can take the other.
I think every MoM goes through this where they think every age is harder than the last. It gets better in so many ways as the get older but also harder in other ways. Hang in there. As they get older, they do get a lot more fun!
