Bath Babies

Bathtime seems to be getting a little easier -- for perhaps the first time, Mattie made it through a bath without protesting! And Jamesie (pictured here) enjoyed his bath tonight, too.

The little guys seem very interested in different textures these days. It's neat to see them exploring their toys in new ways.

Matthew has been doing great with tummy time. He's been able to lift his head up well for a while, but he's using his arms more now. James is still not such a big fan of tummy time. He can lift his head some, but he still tends to wave his arms around rather than using them for support.

And here's the Stuff We Think James Heard over the past day or two. When our home nurse came in, she said, "Look at you!" and he looked right over at her. (She did say it in a pretty loud voice.) He's seemed to notice the guitar music a couple more times. He startled to the sound of our CD cabinet door closing from across the room. When I was holding him, Matthew was playing on the floor a couple feet away, and he started fussing. I said, "What's wrong, Mattie?", and James (who had been dozing) opened his eyes. He also opened his eyes a different time when I was holding him and Mattie started crying. (This makes it sound like Mattie is always fussing, which is not at all the case! I don't want the poor little guy to get a bad reputation!)
