Withdrawal

I heard it through the grapevine that someone (or a few someones) were going through withdrawal from the twins since it's been so long since our last post.  Well, quite right.  It's been far too long, and I too am in withdrawal since the "3" from our blog name are in Colorado, and I'm the lonely "1" here in Ohio. 

I will say that the girls were fabulous for the flights out to CO.  But once there, the time change and number of bodies around the Jutras home got the better of them, and have put them a little out of sorts.  I was sorry to leave Laurie alone to take care of them (at least at night), but I am grateful for the time to work on my thesis with fewer distractions (no matter how cute they are, they're still a distraction).  That said, offer up some prayers for Laurie - she needs them!

Speaking of my thesis.  Don't wonder why this post is being written after 12:30AM.  I'm just biding my time while my lab computer makes one of those green bars move across the screen towards 100%.

Enough chat, here's pictures.

Naked tummy-time.  Who wouldn't enjoy that?  Well...Melody, I guess.

After the workout on the floor, Melody catches a nap on the sofa while watching one of her favorite soaps: "As the Mobile Turns" or "All My Bottles"

Here she is awake.  This one was too cute to pass up.  The extra huge foot is a little disconcerting.  Doctors assure us the other one will catch up.

"What now, Bethany?!  Who's got her head up high now?"  Addie, if you're reading this, you better comment on Melody's perfect skydiving arch technique.

All that exercise makes Bethany hungry.  She has regularly been finding and snacking on her sister's hand since she has learned to roll to get it.  But like Zoolander, she has yet to figure out how to turn left.

And what better after a snack? A nap. 

This is rapidly becoming one of my favorites.  Bethany always has the most thoughtful stare.

It's like thumb war, with your feet.  Clearly one of them is playing with a handicap.  No idea where the other leg is hiding.

Finally, I know the last post was about snow time, but you need to click on this one and enlarge it to enjoy just how cute their smiles are in this photo.  This is my desktop photo at school.  It should be yours too.  Pass it around to your friends.

Also worth mentioning is the fact that both girls are talking a lot now.  Their oh's and ah's and aloo's and gi's (along with many a raspberry, especially from Bethany) are adorable.
