It's about time, mom!

Gee, I haven't had much of a chance to post anything online, nor have I been very good at taking pictures the last two weeks. The girls are becoming so much more active. They began smiling responsively around September 28. Then last week they made fun sounds and giggled. Both girls started sucking their thumbs - or more typically their entire fists on October 14. Maggie is better at getting hers in her mouth than Evie. I took a video of Maggie doing it the first night. It is quite short.

Then, the girls were playing on the floor on Oct. 16 and I took the following clips of them being happy. They are their video notes for the Aunties Brandy and Christie.

5 month old milestones

Last night was a great night, and what better time then on their 5 month birthday?! Evie has been weening off of her oxygen and slept all night last night without it! She has been off of it since 10am yesterday morning and is doing great. It is wonderful as it makes her so much easier to tote around the house.
Then, the next milestone was that the girls slept 6 hours in a row last night. It may have to do with being out until 9pm with the Foundation staff at the CFO's house. But hey, we'll take it. Oh, and when the girls did wake up at 5am, they tandem nursed and Evie went straight to sleep. Maggie wanted some supplement, but then happily dozed off until 8:30 am as well. What a wonderful way to start the day!

Here are the girls' 5 month pictures!
