For those of you who check this page routinely, I just want to remind you that we’re going on our road trip today and there won’t be any new postings for at least a week.
Incidentally, packing for myself and two babies requires about 20x more time than just packing for myself alone.

Rolling over
Posted in Milestones on October 20, 2007 | 2 Comments »
The babies were 12 weeks old this week. Claire is celebrating by rolling over consistently. When we put her on an exercise mat for some tummy time (recommended to help strengthen neck muscles since babies spend a lot of time on their backs), she doesn’t hang out and lift her head up to look around [...]
The babies and their chins
Posted in Measurements on October 20, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Ronin is just starting to lose his third chin. Thankfully, the weight he is gaining is no longer going solely to his neck region. It was hard to clean between those skin folds! Plus, it didn’t make for the most attractive pictures. It was hard to find an angle that worked [...]
Baby’s first gin and tonic

Dinah wanted me to add this one of her being a bad influence by offering Claire a drink, since there was already one of Manuel trying to teach Ronin some bad habits.
The babies are starting to notice one another

Until recently, the babies paid no attention to each other–even when they were kicking each other, it was no different than when they were kicking their surroundings. Just the other night, however, they lay in their bassinet and looked at each other, made little “goo” noises, and smiled at each other. Ronin kept putting out [...]

Questionable role model

I don’t know if you can read the title of the article in the Wired magazine Uncle Manuel is reading, but Ronin is shielding his eyes from “The. Best. Phone. Sex. Ever.”
Baby clothes

My aunt Linda sent a big box of toys and clothes to us. Having raised twins herself, she was a very good judge of what we might need or want. The clothes were things her children had worn–a tiny sweater my mom had originally knitted for my little sister and then passed on to her, [...]
Great-grandparents

My grandparents and my uncle are here, so we’re keeping busy this weekend. On Sunday we’re having brunch at my sister’s house, and Justin will take a four-generation photo at that time. Stay posted!
Jobs

Justin accepted the job I mentioned recently. We will both start working the first week of November, so we’re thinking about taking advantage of our remaining time off and driving up the coast of California to Oregon, stopping to visit friends along the way. This is going to be very ambitious, with two three-month-old babies, [...]
