Happy 5 Months!

Happy 5 month birthday Jackson and Harper!  We celebrate each month as if it was a huge milestone!  In all honesty each month is a milestone because 1) we are surviving and loving twin life and 2) the twins are changing everyday and tackling many milestones each month!

Little Man, Bubba, Mr. Man and the list goes on . . . you are the life of a party!  You are a chatterbox and you love to smile and giggle!  Your smile and squeals light up a room.  You are so active.  Your little legs and arms are constantly on the move.  Over the past few weeks you have really started to grab for your toys.  I have downloaded a baby rattle on my iphone and you hold my phone in awe of the bright lights and noise.  I can't believe my 5 month old already has his hands on a cell phone!

Weight:    approx. 14 lbs 8 oz

Clothes:    3-6 months
Diapers:    Size 2
Food:        you eat 4-5 ounces every 4 hours and then oatmeal twice a day with a fruit/veggie in the
                 evening. So far pears and carrots are your favorite!  You are a pro eating off a spoon and
                 you love to try and feed yourself!
Likes:       you LOVE your play mat especially the light up star, the rattle app on my iphone, the
                 light up rolly snail toy (this will be the toy that gets you to crawl), bath time, outside, fans,
                 books, TV.  You are now trying to tackle blowing raspberries, you find it so entertaining!
Sleep:       two naps a day (at daycare your naps are 2 hours a piece but at home you never sleep that
                 long), at night you sleep around 7 hours before you want to eat.  Ear infections and
                 congestion have definitely been an obstacle to sleeping through the night

Sissy, aka Little Miss . . . you are the soft spoken child.  Like your brother, you also like to chat but your voice it much quieter and more reserved than your brothers.  You are so observant.  Your big beautiful eyes are always soaking in your surroundings.  You love to stare at your brother and your puppies.

Likes:       standing, sitting in your bumbo, bath time, outside, fans, books, TV, mirrors, your
                 caterpillar toy, balls, the swing
Sleep:       two naps a day (at daycare your naps are 2 hours a piece but at home you never sleep that
                 long), you are basically sleeping through the night by sleeping 9-10 hours straight.  Way to
                 go sister!

Look at those eyelashes!

Maddie wanted to join in on the 5 month celebrations!

Working on blowing raspberries

This would be the twinnies favorite toy, Mr. Snail!  They just can't get close enough.

The caterpillar is a close second as the favorite toy.

Jackson and Harper we love you more than you can imagine!  Happy 5 months!!!
