Well my babies are finally active. I mean they were rolling over here and there before. But now I put them on their play mat and before I know it they are across the room. There is no keeping Emily on her back either. I put her down and she is over. Tonight for the first time I put her in her crib and she rolled over to her belly. She kept crying for me to come get her. I went in the first time and saw her peeking over her bumper. As soon as I walked over to her she rolled over to her back and giggled. That made me laugh. So I left her there and went back to what I was doing. Next thing I know she is crying on her stomach peeking over the bumper. Eventually she went to sleep but it is so funny to see her laying there peeking.
Sometimes when I have many things to do I will put each of the babies in a seat. I have a bouncy seat, and a little plastic bebepod seat (which by the way is an awesome way to have your baby sit up when they can not yet do it themselves) Julian now can almost crawl out of it, I think that is what he is doing anyways. He gets his body out of it and will be leaning like laying across it or leaning so his head is touching the floor while still strapped in. It is so weird its funny. Because of that I do not put him in his bouncy seat anymore.
I am also trying to get the babies to interact with each other more. They seem to really enjoy each other and seem really able to relate to each other. When I out them face to face they start giggling, giggling more than any other time. Of course when one cries the other cries. This does not happen all the time, but sometimes if one is crying to loudly and I do not immediately stop the crying the other one starts right up. When ever Emily's face is in arms reach of Julian and she has a pacifier he goes right for it. It is so funny and so predictable. Realistically it looks like a magnet. As soon as she is close enough there goes his arm right to her face.
Really the thing is, is that I am a first time mother. It is the small things that really get to me. A look from Julian, a smile from Emily, the way Julian always wants to touch my face with both hands in an almost reassuring way, the way that Emily will laugh sometimes from something as simple as me whispering "I love you" in her ear.
I am willing to do anything for my children. I gave up smoking, I finally realized who the man I thought I loved was, I am willing to go the roughest time right now knowing it will better for the three of us when it is all done. I moved to the east coast the last place I want to live, many more things, yet I go to bed ever night with a smile on my face and contentment in my heart. I feel good everyday. I feel love, a love I never had before, a love I never could imagine. I know I getting sappy but hey... I am a new mother... of twins!
