Week 16

There's nothing like the sound of the phone ringing at 6 am. Now that my dad's retired, it can only mean one thing: SNOW DAY! William was given a reprieve this Friday when we got yet another snowstorm. What do you do with a snow day? Build a snowman, of course! The girls very much enjoyed it, as you can see.






This weekend, the girls hit their one month adjusted birthday. That's if they had been born on their due date, they would be one month old. (In reality, they're almost four months!) They're doing all sorts of one month old things. Their head control has gotten quite good, and they're starting to do those baby push-ups when they lay on their bellies. Naomi definately smiles on purpose, but not as often as I would wish for. Lillian seems to be getting there soon. Also, neither of them can get enough of "The Ants Go Marching".

We had some other adventures this week, getting out and about. On Wednesday, I brought the girls to the Heights Parent Center for Baby and Me group. Wonderful to see a bunch of other parents with little bundles and talk baby stuff. Most of the other babies are of the 5-6 month old variety, but it's fun to see where the ladies are headed. It's hard to believe that they will soon be sitting up, crawling, chewing on any available thing. (I take that back. It's not hard to believe that of Lillian. When the girls lay together, Naomi flops her arms all over, often ending up on Lillian's face. Where Lillian promptly begins chewing on her sister's hand. It's a beautiful symbiosis.)

Sometimes, they do really cute things, like this:
