Go Lily Go
Ok so she's was the first to get teeth but the whole rolling over thing just wasn't happening.. well she must have been practicing for awhile because I put her and Anna on the floor today and they both rolled over.. at first I thought that I was seeing Anna twice but then I realized that Lily HAD rolled over too. I was so happy.. but knew that it could have been a fluke.. so I put them into the crib and low and behold she did it again. It's officially in the baby book as of today. So now I have 2 rollers to keep track of. In other news... does anyone have a spare 2 bedroom apartment that they can rent us? We really and truly need to put the girls in seperate cribs now and there is NO room left here for a 2nd crib. So now we need to step up the hunt for a two bedroom that won't break the bank for us.

I see another Tooth
This makes 2 teeth for Lily and still None for Anna.. I'm not worried. Anna will eventually get teeth. Till then I'll enjoy her toothless smile a bit longer.
BTW, today is their 5 month birthday.. Can it really have been 5 months since the girls arrived in our lives??? It feels both shorter and longer depending on the day. We eat Rice cereal twice a day along with fruit. So far we have tried Applesauce and Bananas. The expressions on their faces for the first tastes have been priceless. Maybe we'll do a Veggie next.

Someday He'll understand
Disclaimer: I'm going to complain...
Two hours to myself... is that too much to ask of Lee. Two hours.. Lee was home today due to an appt regarding his pinky finger that he broke about 2 months ago. So since he was home I didn't need my mom to come over to watch the girls while I went out for my weekly knitting night. He did great for the first 1.5 hours.. but I swear at 7:30 exactly the phone calls started. "I can't calm them down"... "one cried and then the other one started up"... "when are you coming home" and my personal favorite.. calling me and then leaving me a message of a crying baby. I understand that he's not used to being home with the girls during the day but come on buddy give your wife a break for 2 hours so she can knit and see her friends in peace.
When do I get my break? I'm with these babies 24/7 everyday. Even when Lee gets home from work I barely get a break from the girls. I'm lucky most nights if I can eat a meal by myself. Or find time to knit. Even once they are down for the night (I feel so lucky that they sleep through the night already) I don't a break since I feel like I am running around like a headless chicken getting Lee's lunch together for the next day, doing laundry, trying to clean something around here (and it barely gets to stay that way) or any of the other things that need to be done.
I'm tired all the time yet he gets to take naps on the weekend. I also make and clean all the bottles. I can't even remember if Lee has ever cleaned a bottle or two for me.
I actually have a plan in place that will hopefully make him step up. I'm going to an all day crop from 9am till 9pm on the 18th of October. I'll bring my phone so he can call me but I'm not going home to bail him out with the babies. If that doesn't work, I'll get my relatives on his case the next day at the Baby Dedication for our girls. I might need to do that anyway.
