Better Late Than Never

I'm making up for my lack of posts by adding a bunch more photos to the slideshow (and pruning some of the older ones).  The girls are over 4 months old now, and they're getting big!  It's hard to believe how much they've grown since the earlier pictures.  They're both 24.5 inches tall (long), and over 14 (Maddie) and 17 (Jazz) pounds!  Yesterday they had their first bites of "solid" food -- oatmeal cereal.  Exciting stuff.  They got to meet Grandpa Pierce for the first time this week and have thoroughly charmed him of course.

Jasmine has started blowing bubbles over the past few days, sometimes with great conviction and intensity.  Maddie's personality is a bit more subtle.  She's been acting a bit like she's teething -- wanting to bite hard on toys and especially Mom's fingers.  We'll see though -- no sign of any teeth yet.

They are both healthy and usually happy.  We are all enjoying the visit and help from Grandma and Grandpa.  Mom is getting nervous about going back to work in a few weeks and starting a nanny search.
