Fungi is a large group of lower plants that lack photosynthetic ability or chlorophyll. The group includes, molds, mildews, mushrooms, and most bacteria. Yeast is a fungi and is used in making some breads and cheeses. The fungi with large fruiting structures are known as morels, mushrooms and puffballs. The study of fungi is mycology.

On the way home from preschool yesterday, Zinnia giggled whenever she saw Iris, which made Iris very happy. I think they love each other. *melt* Iris seems to favor Zinnia over Neil though - not really sure why.

Neither of these babies is all that impressed with mirrors. I suppose that's part of being a multiple.]]>

	I love Zinnia's smiles and laughs!
	Neil wants everyone to see his tongue.
	Zinnia finally rolls over!
	Neil drooled that all by himself.

Neil is now in 12-month clothes because he's so long. (He's growing in length about the same as Iris did; he's just not putting on weight quite as fast.)

We've had lovely, lovely weather the past couple of days. My Dutch Irises in the front yard are blooming - so far there's one white one and two blues. The plum tree I bought and planted in the fall is just beginning to leaf out, and the blueberry bush my mom gave me has blossoms on it. I started some basil in the kitchen window, and it has germinated. Stefan and I ate the first two snow peas today. Besides that, the chard, lettuce, arugula, green onions, celery, artichokes, oregano, turnips, and beets are all doing well and either ready to eat or soon will be. There are some very young carrots, beets, and red onions coming along too. I started a bit of spinach, bok choy, broccoli, and cauliflower seeds this week. And the mystery bulbs that I found and transplanted have come up, but I won't know what they are until they bloom.]]>

	Crazy clothes! The shirt on top is Neil's, size 6-9 months. The one underneath is Iris's, size 4T. I think it's crazy how girls' clothes are cut to fit tightly and boys' clothes are made to be baggy.
	Neil always seems to get the whole front of his shirt wet with drool. I wish I could find all those bibs I hardly ever used with Iris! Neil seems to be sitting up pretty well, as long as there's something interesting directly in front of him. Otherwise, he leans over to the interesting side and topples.
	Iris is nursing her babies. I love that she drags 2 baby dolls around with her when she plays with dolls (The doll in the blue outfit is my Cabbage Patch Kid from when I was little.)
	Zinnia face. I wish I had one of her smiling; she has such a gorgeous smile.
	Neil face.
	Iris gets ready for school.
	Putting on her shoes.
	All ready to go!

Iris had 1. (I woke Ben up to deal with it, and he told her to go back to sleep. I guess she did.)
Zinnia had 5.
Neil had 6.

For every baby wakeup, I switched out the baby sleeping next to me for the one in the bassinet and feed the awake one.

I'm a little tired now.]]>

Babies are sleeping a little better and are a little less nuts about nursing all the time. Neil is sitting with very little help. Zinnia is getting better about pushing up from being on her belly, but she still doesn't roll over. Neil is being very verbal all the sudden the past couple of days. He's been making lots of speechlike sounds and repeating specific sounds back to me. Zinnia knows her name and smiles when I say it.

We've finally gotten some sunshine the past couple of days. Iris has decided that she's too big to ride in the stroller, and she helps me push it home.]]>

Silence has been not using the litterbox as often as we'd all like, and she has come under the mistaken impression that blanketed surfaces are an acceptable substitute. Therefore, we've been closing the bedroom doors whenever nobody is around to prevent her peeing on the beds (paricularly Iris's bed).

Saturday morning, I saw that the door to Iris's room was open, and I hurried to check her bed (yay, the comforter wasn't peed!) and shut Silence out. A little while later, I'm getting Iris dressed and she's playing, "run away! i want you to chase me!". She dives into bed to hide under the covers. "Becca, my arm is poopy!" There's cat poop all over her arm, and, on closer inspection, her pillowcase, pillow, and comforter cover. Bleh. I strip down the bed, give Iris a quick bath, and put the offending items into the laundry basket. As I head downstairs, I notice that the futon in the living room has a suspicious puddle on it. Cat pee. Meh. I blot up the puddle and put the couch blanket and futon cover into the laundry basket. As I'm carrying the laundry basket to the washer, I slip and fall on the kitchen floor. My foot feels warm and wet, and something smells terrible. I'd just slipped and fallen on a cat turd.

(From then on, the day got better though. I got me and the floor cleaned and laundry washed. Silence spent most of the day outside (it had stopped raining and there was actually a little sun). Ben came out of his funk, and the five of us did a few errands and went over to SF, where we ate Indian food for lunch. The babies even slept on BART.]]>
