Two Little Monkeys, Jumpin' on the Bed

The girls' new favorite pass time is playing in our bed..... we may be sliding down a slippery path for which there is no return!



That's right Papa Bear, Goldie Locks is in YOUR bed!


Where is Claire? There she is!

Laura's picks

This is just a short post. I had to share some new pictures. These are my current favorites!

The Nature Channel

As a kid growing up in a science family, a great deal of our television time was spent watching the Nature Channel. During these long winter days (when let's face it, bears have the right idea to hibernate), I find myself being reminded of those nature programs while watching our daughters. Let me clarify; no, not the scenes of predator versus prey when I always made my dad change the channel (although I hear from my friends with twins that the two year old stage may resemble that). Instead, they remind me of what was always my favorite part of these shows; when the baby animals would roll around and play with one another. Inevitably one of the siblings would take it too far and the mother bear, lion, tiger, etc. would eventually have to intervene, Mama Laura not being excluded from this group. The scenes were always quite entertaining up until that point, however. Here is some evidence of our little animals in action.........

"We'll be good, we promise Mom."


All in good fun


Going in for the Kill


Five, four, three, two.......

New Tricks

Claire and Lucy both have new tricks up their sleeves these days. Claire sat up by herself for the first time on January 10th. Lucy followed on January 26th. They are very proud of themselves and thoroughly enjoying their new view of the world. Claire loves any game in which she can be wild. Watch the peek-a-boo video to get a glimpse of this! Lucy is our TALKER!!! Whether she is in the car, in her crib supposedly taking a nap or it is 4 AM, you can hear her happily repeating her favorite word "da-da-da-da". She must be up to over a thousand times a day. She gets quite a kick out of herself, as does her sister!

"That's right, look at me, I am awesome!"



Lucy, taking a time out from talking to smile for the camera.
