Four Months Already?

I can't believe it, the girls are four months old already and are close to catching up to what full-term four month olds are doing. They are babbling a ton and are interactive with us all the time, it is so amazing to see them turn from tiny little babies who just eat and sleep. The best is that they are laughing out loud. Graeme is the best at getting them to laugh, that must be a daddy thing. We had our four month checkup with the pediatrician and she has given the green light on solid foods. We haven't tried it yet, but will in the next few weeks. In the last week we had our first bout with illness, Lia had a little cold, it was so difficult to see her so uncomfortable. I just wish babies knew how to blow their little noses.

One more super exciting thing that happened recently was that my grandparents got to meet the girls. In fact, my grandmother, my mom, the girls and I all went on a walk together, four generations out and about, it was fantastic. Here is a picture of my grandparents, Doris and Gene Mann with the girls.


One other recent event is that I went back to work on Friday, May 1st. As much as I miss the girls during the day-which I do every minute-I really enjoy getting back into my legal practice. I really love my job, so going back is definitely the right thing for me. Of course, what makes it easier is that we have opted to hire a nanny. Our nanny's name is Bel and she has been doing a fantastic job, we are so happy to have her. All I can say at this time is that life is really good and we are enjoying every moment of our new family.
