16 Weeks Old

Whirlwind week here. Fun news: the girls are starting to have conversations! Very very rudimentary ones, but still, it's really the cutest thing ever. They've had probably about 4 now. I have one either laying on my giant nursing pillow or sitting in the bouncy chair, and the other I hold up in a sitting position facing her sister. Signe is usually the more talkative one. But they both do similar things - coo, flail around with their arms and legs, and sometimes smile. And then usually a 5 to 10 second pause, and the other will do the same. Sometimes Signe will do that a couple times, but Freya will eventually follow her lead. And that will go on for a good 5 or 10 minutes, with them making eye contact the whole time. So fun!

And the other big thing this week - they were baptized. It was a lovely service and we all enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Not to mention the amazing weather. Freya wore the dress my Aunt Kris had made from her wedding dress, and Signe wore the dress Papa Jack's great-grandmother was baptized in, in 1898. Pretty neat. We did get a video of it thanks to my grandma's very generous gift of a camcorder. Watch out for me getting a little video happy on here soon, if I can figure out iMovie.

This is another picture-heavy week. I just couldn't whittle it down further. Hope you don't mind :-)

I posted a couple pics in their St Patty's Day outfits on Facebook - just had to post a few more because they were so cute

Back from walk - had to unbutton them because it was so dang hot out

So spring-y

Got the peacock!

Just tried this move out with the boppy after Ingrid told me about it

Talking a bit - but the spit up was getting ridiculous so we had to stop

Strong Freya!
