Smiley, Happy People

Some sort of switch must have been flipped today because the girls have suddenly become so expressive and active.  Could it have been the 7 straight hours of sleep Emma had?  Or the two long stretches of sleep Mia had?  Or is it because they're so excited for their Daddy to return home from his overnight business trip?

Mia thinks the ceiling fan is hilarious!

Emma smiles during tummy time.

Emma and Mia work out in their jogging suits.  Too cute!

They are deliberately smiling, and smiling with their whole face, especially their eyes.  They laugh and giggle and funny things like the ceiling fan, or the blinds or nothing at all. They even smile through spit ups!  They have also figured out how to use their hands.  They reach out to grasp Mommy's hair, the burp cloths, toys and blankets.  Emma loves her little bug toy that makes a crinkling sound.  And Mia loves her little teddy bear/blanket and cuddles up with it.

They're really starting to look and act like little girls.  What fun!
