We've been having a busy time in the Hill household. Ruby thinks it's time to start potty training. She made this decision because her friend, Connor, is potty training. I'm not ready to dive fully into it, so when she asks to go to the bathroom, I take her. And she goes when she wakes up in the morning and before and after her nap, and before bed at night. Some days Ruby wants to wear "big girl" underwear and others she wants to wear her diaper. I figure we'll go at this pace until around her second birthday.
James and Hallie have earned a variety of nicknames. Sometimes we call them "Thing One" and "Thing Two." Other times it's "Tweedle Dee" and "Tweedle Dum." For some reason, I have taken to calling James "Mister Man" and Ruby loves that one!
They also seem to be developing into happier babies. (Now that I've said that out loud, James will likely go back to screaming every day.) We've had a pretty good week -- James has really started to smile. We're still waiting for Hallie to do that. But, both of them are going longer between eating and seem to enjoy doing more than just being held or nursing. They are both also getting a bottle of formula at night so that bedtime is less "Mommy intensive." And, from the time they get their bottle until they wake up to eat is usually about 6 hours! I also think Jason enjoys feeding one of them every night and spending some quality time with a happier baby.
Oh, and Ruby is really benefiting from school. The other day she pulled a magnetic letter off of the refrigerator and asked me to get "more R" -- and she was actually holding the letter "R." And, today she was playing with a plastic dog and I asked her what its name was. She responded: "B-I-N-G-O!" I couldn't help but laugh.
Her school is on spring break this week, which makes me a little sad. I know she loves going, and I enjoy having some time to get a few things done around the house.
Anyway, I know people really visit this site for the pictures. So, here you go:

Snuggled in the swing.
Look at my head control!
Holding Hallie.
"Hold Hallie, please!?"
Caught the smile!
James smiling!
