This is from a few months ago. Baby Jill's head has healed, the stethoscope still lives in the bed, and she's progressed to physiology books. Still likes some Nurse Nancy, though.

What is sweeter than mango smoothies?

The boy says 'Hi, Veronica! I'm working on sitting up, too.'



(At his six month appointment he was two ounces shy of twenty pounds, and 28 inches long. Declared healthy and on-track.)

Busy day for the big girls. They're getting good at the sleep-over thing - it is awfully sweet.

in lieu of photos

Since i have to upload some, but am slow.

The boy is going to be six months old in a few days. He is a chubby, happy fellow. He has started rolling and can move around pretty well for a dude who can't really crawl yet. He also, just this week, got to the point where he can sit on his own. Bathing is much more joyful now that i can just throw him in the tub next to the girl. We've been feeding him solids for a while now, but just this week discovered a food he'll lunge for - chicken!

The boy's favorite activity at home is jumping in his jumping-jack, and he has a few toys that he is pretty attached to - Orange monkey from Elaine, his rattle from Mamo, a hedgehog from Grandma and Grandpa, the monkey from Bob, and a squeaky horse from Becky. He is very focused when he sees something he likes, and often wakes up clutching his big monkey (which lives in his bed). He grins when he catches sight of the girl, and flirts with Rachel. He's also quite ticklish.

The girl is all about two things: her new tree swing, and story time. We put up the tree swing a couple of weeks ago, and she will go hang around for quite a while on it. She also likes being pushed 'fast!'. Story time is my saving grace because it gets us out of the house, and saves my voice somewhat. There are a variety of free ones offered around here, and we are connoisseurs. This week we went to three.

The dog is hanging in there, trying to hold on to his sanity. He believes that i ought to be running more often. I think i might agree with him.
