de Simas Twins: January 2007

I can't believe that it has been six months! It's true what everyone says, time flies! You feel like you are pregnant forever, and then poof, all of a sudden you have six month olds. It seems in the last few weeks they have really taken on a personality of their own. Jack has the most (nerdy) and infectious laugh...it's the best. Sophie can't get enough of Phoebe, our dog. They both are really interested and interacting with each other, which has been really fun to watch.
For those of you who don't know, I found out a little over a year ago (January 3rd, to be exact, my birthday!) that I was pregnant with the twins. It has been a life long joke in my family that I was going to have twins. My Mom would say when I was in college, "Well, when the twins are born" - no joke. My reply would be..."I don't want twins!" Quite a few have been witness to this conversation. Now, I can't imagine why, and how, I could ever say that! I couldn't imagine my life another way, although it's a lot of work, it is so much fun!
We had a great Christmas, hope you all did too!
