We are 7 months old, young. We have 7 months under our tiny, itty bitty belts.

Sometimes Jeff and I look at the wee ones and are amazed that these are the girls we brought home. They are just so sturdy and plump now.

Anya has finally begun to talk. I say finally, but it is still early for talking, really. Her sister started a month or so ago, saying Dada and Aya and Baba. Now Anya has started to say the same things. Mostly Dada. It sounded like she said "baby anya" the other day, which is funny because that is what we call her sometimes. I think the baby Anya stuff started because I am always looking at her and seeing future Anya. I am always dreaming of future Anya. Sometimes I see future Anya in the mirror. Sometimes I see Margie (my grandmother). But I am so tired looking that I rarely see me anymore.

In other news, Anya can now sit up for about 10 minutes unattended. Rachel is more of a roller, still. She loves to roll so that her feet are under the tv stand. She also loves cords. This is why we are, again, looking at our living arrangements. I feel like the only way to baby proof my life is to start over somewhere new.

Speaking of new. So, I have a new job. One thing about my old job first, though. I miss everyone there. I miss my old office, but I don't miss the work! Oh, yeah. I have to rant. I was at my old job for 10 years. I had about 4 different positions there. When I left, I got a nice lunch but no present. That is right! I didn't get a present after 10 years. What is the world coming to. Perhaps you only get a present if you retire. I was expected an ipod or something. Or maybe even a crappy clock. Oh well. My new job is great. I am working as the web content person for an education nonprofit right at Dupont Circle. The people are lovely and I get to go to Long Beach, California for a convention in April! Poor Jeff. I hope he can survive the girls. They may kill him.

Ok. I am behind on emails. We have all been sick and sick and sick. We are trying to learn to sleep in our cribs and sleep through the night. We are thinking of living in a house. We like to sit and roll. We will email you back soon.
