Pedersen Twins (plus one!): Visits and Almost-Crawling

This past week was pretty busy. Yes, like all our weeks. The girls met Uncle Will, their only actual uncle, for the first time! We also got to see Cousin Dan, Great-grandma and Great-grandpa Welch and the rest of the family, and we hung out for the weekend at Nana and Papa's house. It's been pretty hot these last few days so AC was a must. The central air at Nana and Papa's was great, and now we have a small window air conditioner in the nursery so the girls are happy. They sure sleep a lot better when they're not too hot.

The girls are still teething. It feels like forever and still nothing popping through. I talked to our doctor's nurse who wasn't concerned. So, we'll just continue waiting and having our fingers gnawed upon.

But they are so close to crawling! Both of them are up on their hands and knees sometimes, and they are pushing and trying so hard. Signe is a little closer I think - she can move forward gradually, especially when there is a cool toy to be had, or something to grab. Freya is more apt to move backwards. Guess her arms are stronger than her legs!

Pictures!

Sisters are funny. And you can see Freya's typical ramrod straight posture.

Playing with breakfast. I have no idea what the parenting books recommend on letting babies play with their food but I sure enjoy letting them do it while I get to eat my breakfast and drink my coffee
