Snapshots from the Week (plus a few days)

Bath Time!!!!

Lexie was having a blast in the tub yesterday. We usually bathe them one at a time, but since we had three adults handy (Becky was over) we thought we would let them play together in the tub. Well Lexie loved it!

Josie always loves the bath but was a bit concerned about sharing that space with someone else!!! Too cute. Can't wait to put them in the full bath so they have some space to themselves!

Mom! This chick is in my bath!!!

32 weeks

This week has been fairly non-eventful. I thought to myself that the twins have been in a fantastic mood lately, and sure enough, we are in a nice stretch of five "sunny" weeks until the next "wonder week" starts. If you believe in all of that, which I do because Josie has proven it over and over again.

Josie is working on her army crawl and now crawls up to us to be carried. I was home all day yesterday as Brittany had the day off and during all of her waking moments Josie wanted to crawl across my legs (see video). Both girls, actually, were being a bit clingy. I couldn't wait for James to get home so they could both get carried around.

Anyway the point of the last paragraph was to say Josie is working on her army crawl, Alex is sitting up perfectly now, and has just started to do the back and forth pre-crawl move, they are both eating solid foods really well - even the little puff stars are being eaten! I've been able to get both of them to feed themselves from the bottle (which I do when I am alone). And they both like to sit and splash in the bathtub. I can certainly see two crawlers in our very near future, and possibly an early walker with Josie. And I just have that feeling that Alex is getting a tooth...we'll see, I've said that before!!

A video of Josie climbing.

Josie is crazy - she's just not happy with being where she is! She isn't quite crawling yet (she has mastered the army crawl though) but she seems almost ready to get up and run out of here!

Videos and Pictures from the Weekend

Alexandra is usually pretty shy about laughing and smiling, so I was thrilled to get some video of her doing both, and copying me when I would imitate her squeal. She also seems to be waving when we wave at her - I am not sure but we'll see in the next few days if it is actually imitation or all in our heads. She is sitting up so nice and tall, too.

I frankly look so awful in this one of Josie and I, but for the sake of Josie fans everywhere, I will post it. Also good "before" picture as I have started to lose the last 18 lbs, and hope to reach my goal by October. Josie is such a little giggler but its hard to get her to do it on command, but yesterday she was having a blast while I swung her around like the "pirate ship" ride at the fair.
