Pure joy! Sydney and Abigail are good and happy babies with personalities all their own. They are starting to smile on cue, and we were able to catch a few good pictures this week. Last Saturday we spent the morning with Teri Cobb in the girl's "6 month" photo shoot. The girls lasted for a couple hours and were beautiful. We should get the pictures next week. We have been preparing the girls all week for this weekend--Rebekah and I will be taking a couple days off and escape to a B&B on the mountain of Monteagle. Gigi and Granddaddy will be responsible for the girls for 36 hours and are looking forward to the challenge. I'm sure that they will hold them most of the weekend to saturate themselves in baby time--I just hope that the nighttime goes well. For the past couple of weeks, Sydney likes to wake up between midnight and 1 am with her little sister, Abigail, following or waiting until between 2 am and 4 am until waking up. The girls wake up, want to play, don't really want a bottle, and, if you don't tend to them within a few minutes, will get really irritated. Sleep is obviously precious to me since I need to be rested for work everyday, and sleep is important for Rebekah because she keeps up with the munchkins all day long. I'm sure that we'll figure it out soon enough and this will all be a distant archived blog.
