Don't you love the ballet?

The twins got these princess dresses for Christmas. They like to pretend they are ballerinas when they wear them. Ballerinas or not, we think they're just plain adorable.

Crawlin' time

Here's our motivation for immediately baby-proofing our house:

Happy Birthday Rachel and Lydia!

Birthday number 3 for Lydia and Rachel was wonderful. Ann made a great dog-shaped cake for them which they thoroughly enjoyed eating with some ice cream they had chosen. They had a fun time opening presents, playing with toys, and trying on their new clothes.

Charity is crawling EVERYWHERE

Charity is quite mobile now and our house is not nearly as baby-proof as it should be. When we moved in 2 months ago Charity was still just a slug on the ground and the twins are past the stage of needing child-proofing. Charity has the incredible ability to find things she shouldn't be playing with and just ignore her toys. Even though it has been hard she is still completely adorable as she crawls around and it's impossible to get angry with her.

Saturday DC Excursions

Living in the DC area has been a blast so far. We just take Saturday mornings and go check out something cool downtown. We have seen both of the National Air and Space Museums, The Natural History Museum, National Zoo, and National Archives to name a few.
