Chase is taking this baby thing seriously. No sooner did we discover that he cut his first tooth than I laid him down to rest and he rolled right over! I gently rolled him back onto his back (they say babies are not supposed to sleep on their tummies) and he immediately rolled right back onto his tummy again. I rolled him back and he rolled again. Marvelling at his determination, I finally resisted the temptation to roll him back, but it was hard. In all honesty, the real reason I kept rolling him back was that every step closer the twins get to mobility is a step closer that I get to a whole new world of challenges... "freedom" translates into arched backs in protest when being put in seats, constant vigilance of their activities and keeping all chocking hazards out of reach (who in the world thought it was a good idea to make Legos so small?). Chase is certainly showing us he's motivated (I'm pretty sure his tooth was a result of our conversation about introducing solids). Wish me luck! In the mean time, Ella, true to her calm and easy disposition, is patiently awaiting the arrival of her first tooth with little complaining and continues to give us her happy girl smiles. She has no plans of rolling over too soon, as she has promised to be the "easy" baby... at least until she's a teenager...
2/1 Update: Ella has finally cut her first tooth. Still no rolling over yet, she much prefers to stand!

i LOVE that you've started a blog! great posts so far, i relate to so much of what you've written about (except the twins part, that just amazes me!).
Hi Aimee...you'll find this is a GREAT outlet and eventually you can print it out into a book as a family journal (I'm editing mine right now to do just that). The twins are really growing up too fast--holy cow, rolling over already?
Hey Aimee....AWESOME! I will stay tuned!
