Jennifer Lopez talked to People Magazine recently about life with her 7-month-old twins Max and Emme.

On caring for the twins:

“When they see you and have that big smile on their face – I live for that. And when I put them to bed at night and they melt in your arms. I give them a bottle and wind it down. I say, ‘It’s time for beddy-bye.’ I hold them and sing a little song. By the time you know it, they are asleep.”

Regarding nannies:

“I did it for a long time but we started using a nanny a few weeks ago. [Most days] I get up early with them. Then when the nanny comes, I can take a shower and give them their breakfast. She’s there to help me get things done.”

On getting back in shape:

“The [Nautica Malibu] triathlon really helped get me in better shape, and snapped me back into my body. I don’t weigh myself a lot. I still have 10 lbs., or so. [But] I don’t have any problems with it. I never felt I had to get rid of it. I think you have to love yourself and indulge when you want to, as well as be happy and just have a healthy attitude towards it.”

Lopez also notes that she tries, “to spend every free moment with the babies.”
