I CAN FINALLY HOLD THEM AT THE SAME TIME! 

Flynn vlogging and saying “That’s Dada and Wesley.” literally melted me. I am a puddle. He’s so cute!

I love how colleen talks to flynn like he's an adult and asks him questions and explains things to him, a lot of parents don't bother and underestimate how capable kids are of understanding things.

Flynn vlogging made me cry because it just hit me how BIG he’s gotten. He speaks and communicates so well! Great job mama! And dad too. I remember when people were judging you about letting him continue to say dardar but look at him now thriving and still was able to use his sweet words for things Tortilla Talk Question: since parenting is a learning process is there anything you learned with parenting Flynn that you might try differently with the twins? You both are doing amazing ❤️❤️

Flynn taking over the camera was just *everything* . He's incredible and *so* great with the babies! :)

Flynn’s little Vlog was so cute. “That’s dada and Wesley” literally so adorable! The twins are getting so big!

Colleen: “it’s fun to have babies that smile” Colleen: *points camera to babies* babies: *angry faces* HAHA too cute😂

For Wes: my son had the same problem! I talked to my pediatrician and family and googled and everything said it was more of a habit then a need. It sounds bad but when he wakes up don’t make a bottle right away. Wait like 20 minutes and see if he can be soothed back down. Obviously this will suck for your sleeping but after a couple nights it really helped!

TTQ: When the babies where still in the NICU, you mentionned that you made a friend on the way to see them. Do you still ever talk her her? Do you share your stories of your babies with each other? Love you a lot!!

Colleen, I love how you went from crying in your car saying, "I can't do this anymore" to "I'm getting good at holding them both at the same time".

With our triplets, we extended their sleeping time by 5-10 minutes every few days until they reached 4 hours, and then 5, etc. etc. It was around 6 months (4 months adjusted time) that they would sleep 6 hours or so. By 9 months they were sleeping through the night. We also made sure they had full tummies and dry diapers of course. We also heated their blankets for when we put them back down, and it helped them fall asleep quickly. And for the boy, we put a weighted blanket on him for comfort. Most of the time it worked, but of course for every two steps forward there was a step back. Just decide what method you are going to do and then keep trying.

I love Flynn’s haircut, looks just like Erik. Flynn laughing at Wesley falling over is just like my son (2.5) and daughter (almost 6 months). They both laugh at eachother, it’s the best. 🥰

Genetics are wild lol love that Duncan, Flynn and the twins all have blue eyes like their grandpa. It's precious that all the kids have physical traits from both sides of the family ❤️

Kory, Colleen, Erik whom ever reads this when you use the brush on the neck put cornstarch powder on it first then dust the neck before you cut his hair. It will help you dust the neck after and it will put a Barrier between the hair and the neck. Trust me it works to help reduce the itches.

One thing that helped my NICU baby once he was a bit bigger, was getting a sleep suit for him to sleep in. He was took big/wiggly to safely do a swaddle and obviously loose blankets aren’t safe, but he liked having something slightly heavier on him, especially because our room is typically the coldest in the house. I really liked the RESTCLOUD brand off Amazon. I remember you tried the Merlin suit with Flynn and it didn’t work well for him, but perhaps that would help Wesley?

I Love how she gives her son attention while also giving the twins attention such a a goo mom

When he wakes up, distract him for a bit before you feed him. Start with a few minutes just to get him used to the idea that he isn't going to get fed the second he wakes up, and then stretch it out a bit more each time he wakes up. You can also try teaching him some self-soothing techniques during the day. That way if he wakes up but isn't hungry he can sooth himself back to sleep.

After Colleen going through a hard moment in her life to now holding her babies at the same time gives me courage to never give up ❤️🦋. Love you Colleen

I can’t believe how big the twins are already it feels like they were born yesterday!!! They’re so cute

You are keeping 3 humans alive, feed and happy! Give yourself some credit mama!!!❤️

Loved all the smiles that Maisie was dishing out! And Wesley sounds like he is trying to vocalize!! So many fun times ahead as they grow!!

Whenever I see you with Flynn, you show me what kind of mom I want to be whenever I get to be a mom! you're amazing!

I would let Maisy sleep the longer stretches that she's growing into. I wouldn't disrupt her improving sleep habits to keep her on the same "bad" schedule that you're trying to discourage in Wes. You and Erik may have to just take one baby each at night and follow their individual schedules until Wes can sleep for longer stretches.

One thing I did was my baby would wake up every 3 hrs, so they'd wake up and I'd put a binky in for like 10 mins, then 15, then 20 until we could push feedings out further. Tortilla Talk question!! How do you keep you house so clean with twins, a toddler, full-time work, and getting any sleep you can? I see your videos and always think wow she is a supermom!

seeing Flynn vlog makes me so emotional. I remember seeing you pregnant w/ him, so -though it may sound silly- it’s so cute to see how grown up he is. ugh, your babies are just too precious! also, the “I feel like superwoman” comment made me so happy bc you genuinely are! you are doing amazing and I’m just so thankful to see you -virtually- along your journey. much love to you and your family

flynn’s becoming such a little vlogger! i love how he’s getting more comfortable talking to us/using the camera :,)

I've noticed when Flynn vlogs it's gotten so much better and I love being able to watch him show us everything is so adorable 🥺

I love how adorable Colleen's vlogs are shes literally so sweet and when her kids interrupt she responds to them right away so they don't feel left out I'm so proud at home much she has grown since first being pregnant with Flynn

Flynn trying to vlog is soooo adorable!! His little voice is so cute🥺🤍 the twins have grown so much in such a short time span😭❤️

Flynn filming and explaining everything was so adorable! He has the best little personality. You guys make some cool kids!

They way you talk to your children and talk about things to us when you know they're within hearing distance is so amazing ❤️ you're such a thoughtful Mama xx

As far as the longer stretches, we had success as soon as my son was in his own room. They can smell you and your milk. I put him in his own room pretty early. What helped me do that is we used an owlet monitor on his feet so that if something were to go wrong I would hear. A sound machine also helped but I swear once he was in his own room he would sleep all the way through the night. Also formula at night helped him be more full.

Advice for the twin sleep thing. I have twin boys and one of them started sleeping longer stretches before the other. I would recommend you and Eric come up with a system, where you wake up with Wes, and Eric wake up with Maisy. That way Maisy could sleep at night... if she wakes up an hour or two after Wes, then Eric can take care of her. For me, one twin started waking up once a night when the other still woke up twice... having a designated baby during the night helped me get a little more sleep (although I feel like I would always wake up regardless to make sure my husband woke up... I'm such a deep sleeper but when I had babies, I heard everything. like magic. haha). When we did this, it did not affect their sleep schedule sync during the day. We would always make sure they napped and ate at the same time during the day, but at night, we let them sleep if they wanted to. Your babies are so so adorable. These are such hard times, but they are such great times. Take lots of videos. I barely remember anything from that hurricane of a time and so happy I documented a lot of it through photos and videos.

Flynn looks so cute with his haircut and the twins, omg, they’re so cute and growing so much. They’re little smiles and like “what the heck” faces are adorable🥰. You can see the radiance in your face after a much needed little getaway and restful sleep. So happy you have your parents help, it’s a blessing. Much love💗

Wesley is King of the Side Eye, and Maisey is Queen of the Stank Face. A deadly combo 😭😭

Tortilla talk question: is mental health a big topic among your family, specifically does your niece Bailey know about your mental health struggles? I’m 13 and I deal with some of these things that you deal with like anxiety and hearing you talk about it really helps knowing I’m not alone. Thanks for being such an amazing role model!

OH MY- flynn vlogging was like genuinely the best thing EVER! so so stinkin cute! we need more flynn vlogs hehe! 🤍🤍

The twins are growing up so quickly. Wesley looks like Flynn so much. Colleen I am so proud of you. One thing though - when the babies are more and more settled please do more episodes of the podcast cause I am repeating them every day because I love listening to you and Erik

I love how happy you are when you’re explaining all of the things you can do with the twins at the same time :) you look so genuinely happy and proud. It’s so beautiful to see

flynn vlogging was the cutest thing ever so cute! also colleen when u said u feel like superwoman i literally said to myself miss gurl u are a superwoman. it's inspiring how much you've done and gone through and how much of a great mom, wife, friend, etc. you are!! ILYY ❤️

Things must finally be coming together Colleen. You just seem lighter in this video. ❤️

Baby sleep: around now my son was still not making good long stretches either (also a preemie at good weight and I had set him on a schedule from the beginning that he just didn’t want to break from regardless of not even being hungry per say). We tried the Magic Merlin Sleep suit and it changed everything! We used it from 3ish months to 6ish months when he started really rolling. He went from 2-3hr stretches to 5 or more!

“Its fun having babies that smile!” Maisy and Wesley: 👹 “…youre not proving my point”

Colleen holding both twins is giving me Maia, “Pilot”, and “Scott” vibes. I love it! She’ll be holding them 1 handed in no time!

I love seeing you super happy again. I know there are still plenty of hard times but you’re smiles are getting bigger and bigger with each video 🥰

Hey Colleen I'm not a mom but my fiancee said he was the same way when he was a baby and so was his dad. What his grandmother and mom said they did was instead every three hours when he would wake up they would wait ten minutes to feed him, then the next night it would be 3 hours and 15 minutes and so on. It helped him sleep longer throughout the night in the long run. I know that's really hard to do it would seem very hard to do. But if you're willing to try it's worth a shot. I love you and thank you so much for your videos I watch everyday you post and it makes my day everytime. Love of love ❤️❤️

8:57 when Flynn starts filming and shows around the living room, IT'S SO ADORABLE!!!

Tortilla talk question: When you go see construction trucks do you ever have to awkwardly stop and talk to the workers and explain how obsessed Flynn is? Love you and your (not so) little family!

The twinsies are literally SO precious. Their smiles😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺💘💘💘💘💘💘

tortilla talk question!!: just kidding this isn’t really a question. i just wanted to say how much i (and everyone in you’re comments) love and admire you. we may not always see you’re struggle on camera but we commend you and are truly so proud of you. thank you for the joy you bring to us through your videos and i can only hope our comments and support show you even a fraction of that joy. love you so much colleen!!! you’re a badass, inspirational super mom

The twins are getting so big!!!! Feels like yesterday they were only 2lb little dots. So proud of how far they’ve come🥰 Also does anyone else think as they’ve grown they’ve started to look more like each other!

You seem SO much happier, Colleen. It feels like you've turned a postpartum corner.

To help my son sleep more at night I put a little bit of rice cereal in with the milk, just to thicken it up a little so he felt fuller. Hope you can get some much needed sleep Colleen! You are doing amazing!

okay but colleens hair in the high ponytail looks so cute!! update: her hair curly and down is also super cute what??? i think she just looks like a super model tbh

I love how big a smile ur showing Colleen! So happy to see everyone healthy!

You’re literally so strong! It might be hard for your to see it yourself but you inspire us every day ✨

I think it’s worth trying to separate the twins at night. It will suck not sleeping together but you could switch off nights with Eric so one of you can get better sleep every other night. And keep the babes on the same schedule during the day! But they might be too young to be synchronized, once Wesley starts eating less often you can get them on the same night schedule again

The twins are PRECIOUS!! 😭😭💜I’m in looooveeeee

Love this!!! 💙💙💙

My mom (I’ve got twin sisters) also had the problem of one sleeping and the other wanting to eat. She’d dip the pacifier in breast milk, and then use that to soothe my sister back to sleep. They still had a night feed, but eventually Marie (the one who’d wake up) dropped one feed and then they were able to slowly extend the night feeds for both !

Can we all just take a moment and realize how well Flynn vlogged! He did so well I’m so proud of him!!!! Love you cutie-pie Eric and Colleen🥰💛

tortilla talk question!: does flynn understand/know the you’re a youtuber? do you ever get recognized when he’s with you? does he think his mother is just friends with everyone (which would be super cute)? sending love to the whole fam

tortilla talk q: does flynn wake up through the night with the twins because of their crying? do you have a white noise machine or do anything to try and keep him asleep? love you :)

The fact that you are so happy about all these milestones makes me so happy. I missing that smile on your face and I’m so happy that you baby and the rest your family are doing well! We love you and we’re so happy to see you happy!

Colleen you are such an inspiration to everyone, Maisy, Wesley, and Flynn are so lucky to have you as their mom. I’m so proud of you, no matter how many times you said that you are about to fall apart you never do and that’s amazing, you are so much stronger than you think you are. Tortilla talk question- will you do the theatre Thursdays that you and kory did at the beginning of quarantine?

She’s vlogging She isn’t boring She’s the queen!!!

Colleen if vlogging less often leads to days where you feel this healthy and happy, please don't worry about us! Great to see a smile on your face. ❤️

Everytime Flynn gets a haircut I think he looks so much like Erik! Also the babies are so adorable and getting so big!

can we just appreciate how good of a mom she is.❤️❤️❤️

Flynn filming was so cute o my gosh!! Him explaining everything. 🥺

Hi Colleen, I haven't tried this myself but I have been seeing alot of parents talk about weighted sleep sacks for their baby. It's supposed to help your baby sleep for longer, which could help Wesley not wake up every 3 hours. Love your channel, you are doing an incredible job with the twins, can't wait to see how their personalities change and grow as they get older xxx

The sweetest news I didn’t know I needed they are so precious omg 🥺❤️❤️❤️

MY GOD time flies- like omg Flynn is like so big! And the babies are so cute and getting so big since I saw them last omg I’m dying!!!

A tip I learned from taking cara babies was when trying to get your baby to do longer stretches, when they wake up soothe them without milk first. See if you can get them to sleep 2 more minutes then maybe 5 more minutes whether it's with a binky or whatever and work your way up from wherever your baby starts. Then when you can no longer soothe them feed them. It's hard cuz you spend time soothing them so you're up longer but the idea is training their tummies little by little to go longer. I'm sure you've heard of her course before but it's really good! Also Flynn's commentary is the cutest thing ever!

Tortilla talk question: do you and Erik plan on moving once the twins get older? Maybe a new city? ❤️❤️

Tip for your 3hr sleep issue: Can you perhaps trying when Wesley wakes up - spend like 30 mins if possible (at least) by holding him, rocking him, using dummy etc and then waking up M for their feed? So over time you’re gradually stretching if.. Probably won’t be fun for the first few nights but hopefully you can at least stretch it to 4 hours so you can get a bit extra sleep!

I hope every other RU-vidr is upset that I stop watching their vids once I get your vlog notification. 38 weeks and these are all that keeps me motivated to power through till this baby is born!

I know you are still going through a thought time, but it made me smile seeing you sooooo excited about holding both the babies and seeing you in an incredibly happy mood. I’m wishing the best for you and know that your videos bring so much happiness to me, even if you think it’s just a boring vlog. Way to go mama! 🥰

I just love this family so much you guys are suuuuuch wonderful parents Flynn is so lucky to have you guys.

Im at 5:40 right now ... and girl you are super women !!!! Beyond super woman!!!! Not only do you have 2 babies but you are handling you and flynn and erik and working so gracefully and yes that is with all the tears ! You are processing and documenting and bringing us along on the journey. You are doing so amazing. You have been this whole time. The fact that you are emotional yet sharing with us exactly how you feel means you are doing it, you are handling it perfectly. Tears are part of it. I would be worried if you werent crying and processing it. Great job momma

Colleen I have identical twin nieces who will be 14 yr soon and I still remember the hard work and fun that comes along with caring for them at the same time as my sis had my other niece who was 4 at the time the twins were born. A lot of people would say wow that must be so much work and I'd say and more like double the LOVE! ❤ You're an amazing beautiful mother and wish you and your beautiful growing family the very best!

Ahh! They are so cute! On my goodness, you are so busy. Everyone looks happy and healthy. Take care of yourself, so much going on for you.

Flynn's such a little vlogger, that's so cute! He's got a future career lined up already.😂💗

Making a routine leading to bed time and increasing their last feeding of the night helped. Adding cereal helps keep them full overnight. The good thing about them sleeping through the night or getting longer stretched means your freezer stash will increase if you continue to have the middle of the night feeding bc they won’t be up to eat. Wishing you luck, it’s hard but we got this!! Even if we are incredibly tired! You’re doing amazing!

Flynn vlogging is literally the sweetest thing! He is so smart!!!

Baby night sleep advice: Start gradually decreasing the amount at the first night feeding while also increasing the amount he eats during the day such that the total ounces for the whole day is the same. Like decrease the amount you feed him at the 9 PM feeidng by .5 ounces and add that to the 6 PM feeding. Do that for like 3 days, then decrease the 9 PM feeding by another .5 ounces and add that to the 3 PM feeding. Etc. Once the 9 PM feeding gets low enough just cut it out. He may still wake up, just don't feed him and put him back to sleep.

I want to say how wonderful it is to see you smile. Following this journey while pregnant was so heavy and I wanted to just hug you. You are so strong, I’m so happy for you and your family. Keep shining you are amazing♥️

All three of your kids are amazing! You and erik are doing an amazing job raising them!

My baby was the same way. We got merlin's magic sleep suit which helped tremendously. We were also told to give her a pacifier and rock her back to sleep to cut down and eventually stop night time feeds which helped. Hope you find something that works for you ☺️you got this! ❤️

Tortilla talk question: A while back you mentioned possibly wanting to move to Vancouver when it was just you, Erik and Flynn. Now that you have had the twins and are receiving support from your parents is this still something you would consider? You are such an incredible mum, sending love to your whole family 🥰

Congrats on the Twins you are so Blessed to have Twins!!And they are so cute!!!Lucky you !!!!Have a blessed day!!!

Tortilla talk question: what music is usually playing when y’all have your daily dance parties 😍 I love watching them btw

I love when babies get to the stage where they try to talk, it is adorable

It’s so good to see you and Erik happier. I know things were rough and probably still are but it seems like y’all are in a nice groove with the babies and have a routine down. I am so happy you can hold them both! I know you were so worried about that when you were pregnant with them. Prayers things keep getting easier 💙💖🙏🏻💙

The twins are looks so much like Eric in this vlog, I feel like each video I can pick out features that they share with you both!! ❤️

Both of my boys would not sleep past 3 hours either. The pediatrician recommended I add cereal to the bedtime bottle, so they would stay fuller longer. It worked like a charm. Me and my husband called it the knock out bottle. They would sometimes sleep for 6 hours straight after. I recommend speaking to your pediatrician and seeing if they think this might help. You are rocking this mama, I truly enjoy getting to follow along with your journey. Xoxo sending love from NC

colleen and her children are literally what is getting me through life 😭

Tortilla talk question: Do you and Eric struggle with your relationship during the newborn stage? I think it would be beneficial to other mums to talk about it or how you guys work things out because having babies is hard.

I was able to get my baby to sleep longer when I purchase the “love to dream swaddle up”, I was told to start creating a routine by only putting it on at night and it actually work for my baby. We started getting longer stretchers by 2 months and by 4 months she started sleeping through the night. She is currently 6 months and still using the swaddle. My favorite part is that you can remove the arms which is great now that my baby is rolling. Hopefully you read this comment and give it a try

i am usually not a fan of kids but flynn and your relationship with him is absolutely precious, he is such a sweet little dude and you have done an amazing job! i cant wait to watch maisy and wesley grow up

Tortilla talk questions: Will Flynn goto school? Or will y'all homeschool or let him chose? I CANT BELIEVE THE BABIES ARE SO BIG ALREADY! love ya
