Futebol



Here are my baby girls watching the Bronze Medal soccer game this morning. They were too cute. They watched soccer with me for over an hour. Eliza is the first video - she kicked and cooed during the entire game. Naomi, the second video, was too nervous - she only sucked on her hands. They are of course fans of A Selecao...(Que pena que sera mais quatro anos ate Brasil vai ganhar a medalha de ouro... Penta Campeao!)

These videos are from my camera, not my camcorder, so the quality is not great... at least you can see my gorgeous baby girls.

Dinner Time

Today was my first official day home with the babies. As of this week, I switched to part-time to stay at home with the girls on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I was so excited to start my domestic lifestyle that I decided to go all out and make Brazilian food for dinner. Although our girls are still on a strict, baby formula-only diet, David and I thought that they should be a part of dinner too. We put them in their highchairs at the dinner table with us. Here are some photos from the evening.

Eliza loves her highchair.

Naomi also likes her highchair.

But... she doesn't seem to understand it yet

After dinner, we watched Naomi and Eliza's favorite Olympic sport - synchronized diving...

Good Morning Babies!

Naomi and Eliza love the mornings. Here are some pictures of them playing under their activity center this morning.

The Bumbo Seat

We recently purchased a "Bumbo Seat" for the girls. As you will see in the photos below, it is a little purple chair made of hard foam that assists babies in sitting up properly. Although the babies aren't old enough to sit up by themselves, they love to sit up on our laps with assistance. We thought this would be a good way of helping them learn to sit up alone...


Eliza really likes the Bumbo - she laughs and looks around like
she is getting away with something. She thinks it is fun to sit up alone.

Naomi, on the other hand, does not get understand the Bumbo. After trying for nearly ten minutes to get her to stay sitting upright, she leaned over before every single picture taken. Apparently, she thinks its a recliner. Maybe this week she will get the hang of it.
