Five Months

My loves,

Wow. Just when I think we are figuring you two out, you surprise us. Your daddy and I really felt like we turned a corner when you turned two months... things seemed to settle down so much. We felt good. But then you turned four months and threw us for a loop. We are just trying to catch up and this month isn't any different! We tried cereal last month, and we gave it up. It was an all out fight, and your daddy and I let you girls win. We may try again this month, but I am not going to force it. I know you will eat when you are ready, so I'm letting you both lead the way.




KM... WOW. You have just blossomed this month. You are talking so much more now, but you always stick your tongue out when you do. It cracks us up. But you talk so sweetly. And the smiles! My eyes water just thinking about that big goofy grin you give us. You have decided that sleeping at night is for the birds. You still go right to bed so easily, but wake up several times throughout the night. We aren't sure what to do about it, but we are working on several things. You get stronger and stronger every day. We have been working on sitting up more, and you can roll from your stomach to your back... this makes tummy time tough because you just roll over. Stinker. You were obviously NOT in the mood for pictures this day... these are the only semi-decent pics I could get!!



EK... You have such a personality! Your "talking" has become way more frequent and much louder lately. You have an opinion and definitely let us know about it. Naps and eating are not your thing. And you fight us when we try to make them your thing. I think you are just too enamoured by everything around you... you want to see and play and interact and have no time for things such as sleep and food. You still resemble my baby pictures so much... and I'm thinking that your personality is a little closer to mine in some ways, but you are just so lively. I love it, and I hope that you are always as feisty. I couldn't pick just a few pictures of you this month... they were such a progression of our photo shoot and I couldn't resist showing your silly fun!



We are so loving watching you both grow, but are ready for some type of "normal." You are both keeping us on our toes, but we just can't wait to see how you continue to grow. I really can't wait. And I'm so happy to have you both... my sweet baby girls. I know it is many years away, but I dream of the fun we will have when you, my sweet girls, get to be my best friends.


The world is yours.


I love you.


Mom
