Smiles! And Random

We've officially got smiles from both girls now! Violet's been smiling off an on for a couple weeks now, since I last posted about them. She's now starting to smile a lot more throughout the day. Eleanor started smile last week at exactly 6 weeks old! She still makes you work for them though! I can't tell you how rewarding these smiles are! It's so hard with twins and a toddler to give everyone the attention they deserve. I'm constantly worrying about the girls social development because I just can't play with each of them as much as we did with Lily...so it's reassuring and wonderful to see them both meeting this special milestone right on time!

Here are a few pictures from the last week.

In addition to learning to smile last week, Eleanor perfected holding up her head! We were able to try the Bumbo with her, and she sat up just fine! Lily however was not happy about having to share her chair.

Lily after getting back from shopping. She's claimed my old purse has her own, and brings it with her everywhere. She's also becoming so independent and wants to pick out her own clothes...hence the rain boots in the snow! She always wants to wear those right now. We think it's because she can put them on herself without needing any help!


And finally...Violet smiling!!
