They are growing so fast!

Our friend had a baby a few weeks ago and it wasn't until we visited them in the hospital that we realized the girls have grown so much in such a small period of time! It truly is amazing. I totally understand now how everyone looks fondly on the first few months. It doesn't feel like it when you're in the middle of it - but it does go by so fast.

The girls are totally experiencing more through their hands and learning how to grasp. They are starting to get a little particular on who is holding them but they are usually ok if they are entertained. Their smiles light up my day whenever I see them - especially when I come home from work.

Spring is in the air! We've had some nice days lately so we've been trying to get out and enjoy it. It seems wherever we go, we're almost always approached by a twin or someone closely related to twins! The girls collect admirers wherever they go - including local celebrities! They were noticed by Actor Tom Skerritt and Glass Artist Dale Chihuly a few days ago in Madison Park. I didn't have the nerve to ask if we could take a group shot with them.

Practically 5 months!

Looking back on all the pictures, it's amazing how fast they grow! Their faces have changed so much and are still changing. I love that they definitely recognize us now and are responding in so many ways.

They don't roll over as they really don't enjoy tummy time. But they have really strong legs and can hoist themselves to standing by holding on to your hands for leverage. They also have a pretty good grip. My little eskrimadoras in the making!

They are definitely not sleeping through the night yet but we have sort of figured some sort of routine. My day off helps in catching up on a bit of sleep by napping with them. Today I got a 2-hr nap!

First Sniffles :(

My girls have their first cold. Luckily, they don't have fevers and they are trying to get rid of the phlegm by coughing. The sad thing is that coughing wakes them up if they are sleeping. It's so hard to watch them so uncomfortable. My heart aches every time I irrigate their noses with nasal spray. Hopefully, this cold will be over in a few days and not linger for weeks!

There are moments they forget they are sick though so there are still laughs with Mommy.
