Today we celebrated the girls four month birthday. Grandma Bonnie is visiting and helping with the girls 'expressions' (code word for occasional screaming). For some reason, Fiona and Stella have taken a liking to screaming after they eat about an ounce of food, wanting to rest for a good 30 minutes and then deciding they are ready to eat the remaining 3 ounces. Daphne who loves to lick everything (including freckles) continues to down her milk just like her daddy downs his beer ;)
The girls are smiling all the time and talking (cooing) in a way that already makes me fear what our phone bill will look like once these girls can actually talk. They love standing up (with some adult assistance under their armpits) and sitting (with some assistance from pillows). They have also started seriously trying to roll over - something I have not been encouraging - but the grandmas were. Selfishly, I was hoping for them to stay still a bit longer, but the girls are ready. With a lifting of their legs and an enthusiastic toss to the side, the girls are starting to roll over. As of today, no one has made it all the way to their belly - they keep getting stuck on their inner arm, but once they figure out what to do with that arm - they are going to start doing somersaults, I just know it.
I can't stop smiling as I look at this blog - what amazing gorgeous girls. Congratulations again, they are awesome!
