Yes, I am still pumping. Trying to make it till 1 year. They love it, just like they love their grandmother's cheese/yogurt concoctions (intended by mom to stop my need to pump). She does not realize that my need to pump is psychological. Here they are being fed by mom, though:

Sit (and drool) unassisted:

Planted tomatoes upside down:

And greeted summer break with a renewed desire to skate:

Little hands, little toes

We are nearly 9 months, and almost 16 lbs each. Still cute as buttons.
