Lots of catching up to do

I finished the Twilight Series on Sunday and am back to being a mom. I kindof feel like I abandoned my family and responsibilities; I hadn't read a book since May (I am a Mother! by Jane Clayson Johnson), so I feel like I've made up for those 5 months of "me" neglect. Plus, I truly cannot remember that last 600 page book that I read just for fun. Thank goodness book 4 doesn't come out for a while!

Needless to say, one of the things I left abandoned was our blog. Lots of catching up to do. This is the image Tony & I saw when we walked into the girl's bedroom yesterday morning, (Tues, 10/23): Mary-Gail sitting up and talking to Rebecca. They were so involved in each other that they didn't notice we until I said, "what are you doing?" and made them both jump.

Mary-Gail "WOW"-ed us last Wednesday, 10/17, when she rolled from her tummy, to her side, then pushed up on her elbow (that's usually as far as she gets). But then, she sat up - ta-dah! All by herself! What a big girl! So, can us imagine our surprise when we see Rebecca sitting up too? Tony was watching Rebecca & Mary-Gail in action while I ran for the camera. The best thing was that he saw Mary-Gail grab the crib rails and pull herself to her knees! Holy Cow - is she supposed to do that yet? Of course, I didn't get that picture, but these are still cute and fun.




"What are you doing?" Mary-Gail and Rebecca in their first of many "girl/sister" talks.



Mary-Gail in her tye-died "Moab, Utah" onesie from Aunt Carol. Looks like she's going for the crib rails again...



Rebecca does this "sit'n'spin" movement with her body - tried to catch it in these pics.

These pics are from our bath this morning. I thought to myself: why not just put both girls in the tub and bathe them together? Why continue to bathe them separately? Rebecca and Mary-Gail continued their girl talk and "twin thing."

If I didn't know better, I'd swear I gave birth to two fishes!

Naked and loving it!
