One way to get some things done around here is to strap Rose into the chest pack. She may look like she should be suffocating the way her face is buried, but she loves being snuggled up so much that she goes off to sleep this way every time, no matter what you may be doing.


August in the "baby over-stimulation dome". He seems to like spending time under there, even though he doesn't really interact with the dangling toys yet.

Rose often likes to sleep with her head and neck cocked extremely to one side. We sometimes try repositioning her, but she just puts it back the same way again.

Out and About

We try to get out for a walk when the weather and our time permit.


The babies seem to love being in the stroller (their carseats). They go right to sleep.

Snugglin'

Rose, in particular, is a very snuggly baby. She loves to sleep while being held or snuggled.

Becky getting some writing done with sleeping Rose. (When we took her away later, we realized she had the imprint of Becky's overall buckle in her cheek so well that you could actually read the brand name [!] yet somehow she never seemed to mind as long as she was being held.)
