We heard or read somewhere that babies will sometimes focus on one particular new thing for awhile and might stop doing something else during that time.  For a week or two the trio seemed like they were not quite a vocal as they had been.  Well, they're getting back into the swing of things.  Lydia especially seems to be quite vocal again.

Jonathan more regularly uses only one hand to hold onto the couch or us while standing.  Anna doesn't stand as much as Jonathan, but she does okay.  Lydia's perfected sitting on her knees with her legs facing back.  She doesn't really sit on her bottom with her legs straight out at all.

Mommy has really been putting in extra hours until Daddy finds a new job.  Day shift has been short on filling certain areas of the lab, so she has been doing some day shifts as well as evenings.  Daddy spends the weekdays searching the job sites online, talking with several recruiters through various firms, and looking on local company websites career/employment sections for openings.  Daddy interviewed for a place that is just down the road, and the interview seemed to go well.  They called the next day for references, so if everything works out he'll end up with a decent position soon.
