Can you say 'mama'?

I'm already working on the girls, since usually the first word is 'dada' simply because it's easier to make alveolar sounds than bilabial (see, I AM using my linguistics deree!) Of course, Randy's first word was 'agua', so who knows.

But they are talking so much every day now...by talking I actually mean cooing and gurling. Eve even does back-and-forth talk with both Randy and I. Mae is more content to let out a little bark of noise now and again, but she breaks it smiles constantly.

Yesterday morning Eve was in a good mood and I put her back in the crib while I got ready...when I came back out she was captivated by the mobile over their bed and was smiling at it. Right now Eve is chillin like a baby villian in her boppy while Mae is resting briefly in her bouncy seat. Lovely little things.

I need to start going to bed at a decent hour...I've been staying up until midnght so that I can spend some meaningful time with my husband once he gets home around 10 p.m., but screw that, I need some sleep. Thankfully, the babes are still regularly sleeping until 6 a.m., which is beyond fabulous, but sleep is a good thing.

It's raining again, which is fine, except I feel bad for the farmers. The ground hasn't yet completely thawed AND the water tables are still full from the past year and a half so there's no where for the water to go. It's just sitting in the fields.

Ok. To work!
