Finding their voices!

At almost 5 months, Annie and Vanessa are starting to find their voices.

Annie giggles so cute and she mainly exercises her voice in being demanding. Although, she loves being sung to and sometimes tries out a note or two. She gets a kick out of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star!

Nessa is going to be the chatterbox! She just started playing with inflections like she's talking. She often has long sessions of talking, even if it's to herself. Vanessa is a bit more chilled out than Annie. She rarely fusses unless something is really bothering her.

We continue to be rockstars everywhere we go. Chris enjoys the attention a bit because he can show off his little girls but sometimes it would be nice not to explain that they are two girls, they are not identical, and yes, there are twins on both sides of the family. Although I'd like to cut down on the notoriety, we have come upon some lovely people. Today at dinner, this older gentleman starts talking to Annie because Chris has taken her out of her carseat because she was crying. He had the most beautiful, friendly spirit. He chatted with us about how much love one has for their children. He and his wife's children are adults so I had the feeling that he's ready to be a grandfather.

Speaking of grandparents, I cannot say enough about how helpful it is for my parents to be around. They primarily take care of the girls when I'm at work. They also help a lot by washing bottles and doing the girls' laundry. Moving into our own house will be a transition. I'm hoping they won't leave for a visit to the Philippines any time soon.
