Good Times with Grammie

My mom arrived yesterday, much to the girls delight, and my relief.  It’s wonderful to have her here, both for her moral support and extra (very willing) arms.  She even baby-sat tonight so Jim and I could get out for a dinner date.    I don’t know who’s happier to have her here: the girls, because she’s eager to play and cuddle with them; me, because I can hand a fussy kid off to her at any time; or Jim, because a happy wife is a happy life!

Sit and Be Fit

Hopefully, the Nintendo Wii Fit will instill in Susanna a lifelong love of fitness…

…not video games.

Well, at least I can rest assured that exercising in her daddy’s arms won’t burn many calories.  We want her rolls to stick around for a little while! 

Happy Valentine’s Day

We’re back from a wonderful Florida vacation, and I’ll post  more pictures soon.  Here’s one of the girls showing their love for one another on Valentine’s Day (and wearing their Valentine’s sleepers from their Grammie, of course!).

Literary Ladybugs

Susanna (on right) can’t believe her sister is already reading.  Rebecca also looks a bit surprised at her literary prowess.

The girls thought this book was a real page-turner.

Susanna tries to squash the ladybugs before they can fly away.

Feeding Frenzy

Yesterday, we attempted our first feeding of rice cereal.  It received mixed reviews.

Rebecca thought it tasted funny…

…and she wasn’t thrilled with the consistency.

Susanna, on the other hand, became very animated and wanted to help me with the spoon.

She considered herself quite grown-up, now that she’s eating solid foods.

Jelly Bellies

What’s cuter than a baby bum?  A baby belly – or rather, two baby bellies – of course!

Go Steelers!

The girls enjoyed the few minutes of the Super Bowl they were allowed to watch tonight.  But even their rapt attention paled in comparison to their daddy’s state of enthrallment.  Jim, a Pittsburgh native, will sleep like a baby tonight.  Let’s just hope the girls do, too!
