A few days with the girls


The days this past week with the girls were filled with many moments of new things. Claire is babbling more and more, and Chloe is squirming and inching herself all around. Claire will make all sorts of sounds when I sing to her as if she is trying to sing. Chloe makes lots of noises but in a different way, and she is very mobile, turning over and inching herself into different positions. Claire sits up a bit more strongly than Chloe, but Claire stays pretty much where you put her when you put her down.

Papa Norm stopped by one day when I was babysitting and helped feed Chloe. I snapped this photo as they both had dozed off.
The girls have their first Bumbo chair and Claire does very well in it for a few minutes. Here is a little view of her sitting up.

Not to be outdone, here is a small video of Chloe taking in the camera. She is so curious. She can be so animated and smiley and then when the camera comes out, she just stares at it trying to contemplate what is going on.This upcoming week I will be babysitting 3 days. Now that Paula is back to work, I am dividing my time between the Library and the babies. I treasure every moment with the girls....I clearly have been given a gift...time with the babies. Mike is doing Daddy duty the nights Paula works her 12 hour shifts..7:30 PM to 7:30 AM. He is doing a great job. The first night when Chloe didn't want her bottle, he dipped the nipple into a tiny bit of banana pudding and convinced her that the bottle was good after all. The girls are so excited to see Mommy when she walks through the door in the morning, it is fun to see how they look at her with such excitement. What a blessing this little family is! To be continued.....
