New toofers!

I forgot to mention in the last post that Ella got her first teeth!
Her first tooth came in Saturday 21 February. We found her second today! It's hard to get a look in there (she's a very private baby), let alone a picture. But I got her mid-yawn. Check out her chompers:

(no word on Nora's teeth yet...)

We have a new computer!!!

We got a new MacBook (thanks to Wayne)! We still have to "borrow" our internet connection, but the computer moves SOOOOOO much faster.
So, in honor of our new computer, here are a few random pics and videos, just because we can!

Here is naked Ella rolling on the floor.
Sleepy Nora
Ella in the high chair. Daddy calls this her "devil look".
Crashed out Ella
Here's the picture of Ella in the wagon I accidentally didnt post on the last post...
Just cute
In the first video here, Nora is trying to imitate speech. Of course "Mama" is top on my (Mama) list. Here I am trying to get her to say it as she chews on my scarf. The second is not terribly exciting, but as I was washing bottles in the kitchen, I heard Ella laughing hysterically. I realized she was laughing at Nora, on the floor, who was "talking" to her. The video catches Ella laughing a lot but, as usual, Nora calms down as she sees the camera. But I know the grandparents cant get enough of the videos!

Lovely Valentines

Wow, what a month! We made our first cross-country airplane trip with the girls to visit the rest of the Gaub family. The girls did remarkably well! Daddy spent a few days in San Fran working the California book fair, while the rest of us hung out in Petaluma at the Gaub compound. It was so nice to see everyone and get away for awhile and enjoy our first Valentine's Day with our little ladies.

The girls watch their favorite Baby Einstein DVD together:
