Really? Six Months?


Sylvia seems to be a chatty, chatty lady, more so than her sis (the twin one, that is, not the big one, who IS an inveterate chatty lady). We have found her up on her elbows in her crib, "talking" to Magnolia - who is usually asleep or on her way in that direction. It's all low moany vowels so far, not much in the way of consonants, usually uttered as she smiles at you in an amused sort of way. Now she's added some louder sounds, which are gleeful though they sound alarming. Meantime Maggie mainly reserves her vocalizing for sounds that *are* meant to be alarming, telling you how unbelievably hungry she is, even if she is eating as she's saying it. 


Both girls are mobile, but only a little bit. They both roll-roll-roll across the floor, fast, until they run into a piece of furniture. Maggie can easily grab a toy and noodle around with it. Sylvia likes to spin on her belly like the hand of a clock. Maggie has her two bottom teeth coming in.

Most important: Maggie regularly sleeps through the night! There, I said it, I've jinxed us, she'll wake up 3 times tonight. But really, she's done it I think almost every night for the past two weeks. This probably has something to do with her aforementioned hungry-all-the-time. Sylvia still gets up once, but that's no biggie.  





I have a delightful video of Sylvia talking and gazing fondly at Magnolia, while Magnolia looks all blasé about the whole thing, but I can't seem to upload it. Alas. You'll just have to come visit and see them in person.

It was so so wonderful to see you all IN PERSON! I bought some of those TJs lentil/potato "chips" yesterday. :)
