Sleep and smiles

Twice now this week the kids have slept at least five hours at a stretch. This is glorious. The first time, they slept five and then four hours. This time, it looks like they are going to do five and five. They also managed one four hour stretch. The other nights have all been three hours.

Ahgah (our Afghan) has decided that our master (walk-in) closet is now her den. She kept going in there at night, so we finally moved her dog bed in there. She is quite content.

Both babies have started smiling voluntarily--not the usual gas smiles! Andrew likes being tickled, at least for short periods. Tickle his stomach or sides and he gets a big smile on his face.

Andrew has been sleeping on our walks with the babies in the stroller. Owen is usual awake and looking around--at least when we put the top down so he can see.

Pictures

The first few pictures are from my sister Heather.

Is it time to eat yet?

The next pictures are ones that Nancy took. She takes most of the pictures, which is why she doesn't appear in any of them.
