Rolling over!

Yesterday, Vanessa was joyfully rolling over more than once on the living room rug! Annie did as well but needed a little assistance to get the momentum growing. They are definitely sitting up now which is exciting and sad at the same time.

I look forward to seeing them after work. Being their mother is a blessing and I really want to bring up strong, competent women. I think with the mixture of Chris and my values and personality traits, I hope we won't traumatize them too much! I hope the adolescent years are not too much of a rollercoaster ride! I have a ways to go until then...I plan to enjoy the ride!

I feel so blessed

The last few days I've wanted to leave work early because I was missing my babies so much. They are changing, growing, and learning so much that it seems too fast at times. Vanessa got her first tooth the other day and Annie is somehow inches longer than Nessa!

I've been trying to keep them in their cribs all night but since I only get a few hours with them on my working days, I struggle with wanting them in bed with me/us. I want to cherish these moments so much.

Annie has become the outgoing one and she has such a delicious, sparkling giggle - although she is showing signs of becoming the drama queen of the two. Nessa seems to be such an observer, especially of new people and places. She still seems more of the easy-going one. They both are becoming much more chatty when they are in the mood.

These girls are truly the highlight of my day. They are true mixtures of us and I'm so fascinated by that. I want them to pick up the best parts of our personalities. We are so in love with them that can sometimes overwhelm me.

We went to the girls' first baseball game of Giants vs Mariners las Saturday. Dressed in Giants gear, I did get some cracks about not wearing Mariners gear from Facebook. All these firsts are so fun...I hope I don't miss too many while at work.

Turning 7 months old!

Today my babies turn 7 months old. Although they haven't been around all that long, I feel they are turning this corner where they aren't so "new". They are getting better with eye-hand coordination as they practice putting the binkie back in their mouths.

We attended Maddy's first dance recital today and Nessa was trying to practice her en pointe with Daddy. It was just adorable! I also managed to have them sit up on their own to take their 7 month picture!
