Where does the time go...no...really...I'm serious!!!...

I want to thank all those of you who comment that you have been checking in on my page. I apologize for the lack of consistent entries as of late. As you might imagine life with twins (even really good twins) is a handful and a half. On top of that having the hubster immersed in a gargantuan trial (he's the attorney not the defendant:) for the last 5 weeks does not leave me much time for creative ponderings. But at least I have tried to keep up with snapping a few photos of the little boogers. Some of the highlights that we have experienced since my last entry are:
* an onslaught of teeth have arrived. To date Maya has 8 and Zoe is working on number 6
* Zoe crawls every which way like a crazy baby and has some kind of built in radar for any object that is hazardous to her health. She has been desperate to get her hands (and mouth) on the diaper wipes, diaper cream, baby lotion and her current favorite...a big wad of her sisters hair...poor Maya. :(
* We have successfully ventured into the land of the gym KIDZONE and so far the girls have stayed twice on their own and seemed to have had a lovely time. This is exciting news because now Mommy might have at least a prayer of a chance of doing something about that last ten pounds of baby weight.
* The girls will be nine months on Thursday and we may be winding down on the breastfeeding bonding. As much as I love the close snuggle time, I recently experienced my first bite (from Zoe although Maya was right behind her too) and immediately after I yanked away from her with a loud yelp, she flashed a pretty satisfied grin. So I do not think that will be the last time she tries that little experiment. So now I am in a constant state of high alert while nursing which is not nearly as appealing. So we will have to see how much longer this gig plays out...but it was great while it lasted!!!
* Oooh, I almost forgot...Maya graduated from the Cranial Molding Program with an (almost) perfectly round head...hip hip hooray...they even gave her a cerfiticate that is suitable for frameing! :) (Zoe has another month or so to go but she is catching up fast.

Below are a few key moments of the last month at the Miyamoto house.

I would love to hear from anyone else who checks in on my page...it will motivate me to post more frequently!
