Necks

I have an announcement to make -- our babies have necks! Yes, until now we thought they were just born without one, but we saw that they do indeed have necks!

Daddy was very busy at work this week and Mommy was solo 4 nights in a row. I bring them up to the packnplay around 6:00pm for some playtime and "naked time". They love it. Before stripping down, I sit them up in the corners of the packnplay (they are not yet able to sit up in their own, so they love this). I wave toys above their heads and that's when I saw their necks! Then, after we do that a while, I strip them naked and let them go wild on a towel. They really do go nuts. It's like they are liberated. Often we have a few messes, but it's no big deal. I read books to them, pull them up by their arms to standing (they LOVE this), carry them around doing little dances. I keep them busy until 6:30pm when bath time starts. Then, we dress them in normal sleepers (no more swaddles for either baby), take them upstairs for 8oz of milk and then they are typically asleep by 7:20. They are good little babies. But, it is hard doing it solo. I'm not super Mommy!
