Névé Having Fun in Her Bouncy Chair

I finally got some of the video off of my camera and will post more of it when I have some spare time. For now, here is Névé, who has been very active and awake the last couple of days, having some fun in her bouncy chair early this afternoon. It's been fun watching the girls make connections between cause and effect this past week! They get so much smarter every day!

Home Alone with the Little Ones

I don't have much time here. It's just after 12:30PM and both girls have gone down for a nap, which I'm sure will be brief. Hopefully I can get to a couple of things on my 'to do' list while they are sleeping. I find that feeding infant twins is similar to being one of those guys who balances and spins plates on thin sticks. You are always hurrying back and forth in order to avoid imminent disaster. In the case of the twins, this entails trying to keep a bottle in each girls mouth, something they are absolutely no good at on their own at this point. One will be peacefully sucking down her milk, while the other is crying due to her uncontrollable kung fu arms violently bashing the bottle from her mouth. It's never ending. It's a very rare occasion when both are quietly drinking at the same time, the bottle of milk ever so close to falling from it's precariously balanced perch. I can't wait until our Podee's get here. I just wish we would have known sooner that these existed!

Here's are some clips of the girls I took this morning. They are getting a lot more vocal and enjoy "talking" when they are in a good, playful mood. I must say, it's quite adorable and a lot of fun to watch!

With Dawn back at the office now, we've worked out a routine where she puts the girls in bed with me before she leaves.  So far, this has worked quite well.  We usually get up around 9 am or so, then the fun begins.  This morning, however, I actually was able to sneak out of bed without waking them up and captured the below pictures.
