Not much has changed over the last few weeks. As always, the girls are learning lots of new things, but no big milestones recently. They are great at sitting and will sit for about 10-15 minutes before they get too distracted and tip over. They love to sit together and play with their toys.
They are also getting very good at jumping in their jumper. They loved the one that we had so much that I had to go out and buy a second because they would sob if you took one out to let the other have a turn. It buys us a lot of time to eat dinner, do things around the house or just sit and take a break. Our living room has become a play room for the girls and is over run with baby toys. Someday we hope to have another couch and chair in there, but for right now it's a play area. We could put their toys upstairs, but it's easier to have them playing on the main floor where we usually are.
Last weekend our friends Bev and Mark Krans and their daughter Lydia (~9 months old - 2.5 months older than Abby and Emily) spent a day with us while they were visiting from PA. You may remember a picture from Thanksgiving where the girls were on the floor with Lydia. We re-created this picture to see how things have changed:
Then (Abby and Emily were 3 weeks old, lydia was about 3 months):
Now: (Abby and Emily 6.5 months, Lydia 9 months)
You would think that Abby would be used to having someone touch her as Emily is constantly around, but she was a little moody when Lydia starting tugging at her arm:
Then Lydia gave her a noogie and she was FURIOUS. Meanwhile Emily was in her own little world off to the side.
Lydia was frightened by Abby's temper.
During their visit we went for a little hike. This was Abby and Emily's first hike. They seemed to enjoy sucking on their baby bjorns and checking out the woods.
We're excited to see Bev, Mark and Lydia again later this summer!

Thanks for the link to your blog on the twins message board. I'm enjoying reading your blog!
I cannot wait to meet my twins... well actually I can wait another 20 weeks, that way they are ready and so is our home!
I hope things go well for you in the coming months - the longer you can hold out the better!
I would just love to squish your girls! JJ loved the jumper too and should he have had to share, he wouldn't have liked it! You are helping me remember things as I see them with the girls, which is good b/c I will have another little mush soon...And Abby has a temper like this Abby! Love the outfits, hope you find another set of twins to pass them onto, or if you'd like the money, I'm sure you could sell them?? (except the most special, which my mom kept of ours...)
