I know people say time passes so quickly, and it does, and they often say that with some sadness. To be honest, I'm so happy they have finally graduated from the newborn stage. Cute, cuddly, yes. Tons and tons of exhausting work, also yes. Being on a schedule now has done wonders for my mood and productivity at work and home. And, most important by far, I can truly appreciate my amazing girls and feel the deep deep love I have for them. In a haze of sleep-deprivation and "I can't believe they want to nurse again" you can take that for granted. But every morning now I get to wake up and bake and clean and work and etc., then get the girls up and love love love them. It's great!
Also helpful: not being sick anymore. And THIS time I'm not going to go to the gym as soon as I'm vaguely well and sprint. Yeah that was a mistake. There will be time for strenuous exercise when I'm truly all the way better.
As for the girls: lots of cuteness as usual! We signed them up for swim lessons at the Y for summer session, which conveniently starts about two weeks after they turn 6 months, the minimum age. I cannot express how excited I am to do this. They'll be in Shrimp level. Sooo cute. Ok I need to stop gushing and get to the photos, I know I know. And there are lots this week because, you know, three months!
Wanting to look like your ridiculous mommy Signe?
Naptime in our usual explosion of colors
Trying so hard to crawl! (Sorry Freya it'll still be awhile) (I hope) (Kurt wants it ASAP)
Holding/flailing practice
Aw mom, we wanna go play, not pose for pictures
Such a good stander!
Who is that??
Daddy-built Boppy fort
Something about this I just love
Sometimes hard to post cute pictures because of the mess in the background...but have made my peace with it
Just had to stick in a picture of the Cranberry Pecan Frangipane Tart I made. So proud :-) And it got good reviews, yay!
Bradley reunion! Signe and Freya got to meet the lovely babies Ava and Cora. All that catching up tired Signe out
Sleeping sisters
More sleeping sisters. Kurt loves to pull their pants up as high as they'll go.
And a sleeping picture of half the family
I often get the urge to hold and cuddle both babies at once. This is of course the only semi-safe way to do it.
