Leif 5 weeks

Leif is starting to get more interactive - more interested in making eye contact, and responds more. He was in his bouncy seat this morning when Kurt was saying his goodbyes before leaving for work, and he told Leif, "you can wiggle around your legs and arms if you want", and then he did wiggle around! You never know what babies can understand.

The girls continue to adapt too, although they sure do understand that they can take advantage and get away with more shenanigans when I'm alone and nursing Leif. Little stinkers :-)

A couple cute-isms. Freya loves to call herself a beautiful, or pretty, or beautiful pretty, dancing flower, than dances around on her tiptoes. This is usually after putting on a skirt or pretty shirt or in anticipation of it. Signe does it sometimes too. I think they got it from Daniel Tiger. And in their minds, the opposite of a beautiful dancing flower is a mean, or mean Mean MEAN, rattlesnake. As in, Freya says she is a beautiful dancing flower and tells me that Signe is instead a mean rattlesnake. Although sometimes Freya is the mean rattlesnake, but don't worry, she tells me she's a nice mean rattlesnake.

Signe's cute/funniness - she says I love you and I love you too back all the time. Very cute. Sometimes though we'll say I love you to her, and she'll just say back "thank you." You don't want to hear that in response to your "I love you" ;-)


Thought it'd be fun to include a couple pictures from 2 years ago [I don't have any pictures from earlier than that other than low-quality ones from off this blog because also 2 years ago my computer crashed :-(].

2 years ago. Wow. Just...the girls were so small, it's gone by so fast...wow:

Can't get enough of these daddy-son snuggle pics. Waiting for when Kurt gets fed up with pictures of him sleeping being on the internet ;-)
