The Lobster Life

Rachel has begun a bit of mobility-- but she's demonstrated a particularly crustacean limitation. She can only move backwards!

She recently found herself happily wedged underneath a piece of furniture in the living room, like some kind of large pink crawfish nesting under a rock.

Learning to Share Early

Double Smiles - What Joy!

Spring-time giggles - time to show some skin :)

Anna Left, Rachel Right

Yeah! Daddy's Home!

The best part about being away from the girls is coming home to them!

Rachel - left, Anna - right

Anna - left, Rachel -right (or maybe you already knew that :)

Anyone still thnk they're fraternal?

The Lost Months

Thanks, Uncle John, for the beautiful silver rattles!

(I'll figure out how to rotate this picture one day :)

Rachel in Jumper at 5 months - March '06

Both Rachel and Anna have adored their door jumpers since they were 3 months old and been happy in them for an hour at a time - such a blessing! They've just recently started jumping more aggressively and giggle when they get a really good jump.

Anna in bath at 5 mos - Feb 06

The girls still don't really play in the tub; they're really ambivalent about it - don't complain or seem to especially enjoy it - good thing since they're lucky if they get a bath twice a week - hey, I have twins!
