Flagg Baby Update

I know, I know...every time I post I say that I'm going to try to be better about posting more often, and every time I really do have the best intentions but we've been so busy with between the girls and work. That said, we have lots of updates and pictures to share with you as it's been more than 3 weeks since I last posted anything.

Abby and Emily are doing very well. They just love to talk to us - if they get started babbling they will go on and on. It's so cute to see how excited they seem when they "talk". They are getting very good at reaching for and grabbing things. They like to pretend to hold their bottles even though they aren't quite strong enough. Abby is scooting around in circles now. She seems to like trying to crawl, although she probably has a little while before she's really crawling!

The first of two big advances is that the girls started eating baby food a few weeks ago. The first few days were pretty rough, but now they love to eat! Emily gets very unhappy when you don't shovel it into her mouth fast enough.

The second big advance was that Emily finally learned to roll from tummy to back! I was getting a little concerned that she hadn't rolled yet, so last night I told her that if she rolled before she turned 5 months (March 31) that I'd giver her $20 when she was old enough to care about money. Sure enough just a few minutes later she rolled! Byron says that she's going to be an entrepreneur. I hope I haven't created a monster :) We don't often sit down and film them, but last night Byron happened to be sitting there with the video camera taping them and sure enough he caught Emily's first roll!
