5 Months old




The twins are 5months old. Can you believe it? I can't!
AJ is sitting up by himself for a few minutes. He loves to roll around and scoot on his face and knees. He gets up on hands and knees and will rock back and forth and then fall over on his face. With him it is always a wrestling match. Bathing, dressing, holding rocking, feeding, you name it. The boy does not hold still!! He has the biggest most adorable smile, which he gives out freely. He loves to talk. He is pretty easy to get to sleep. I just have to put a quilt over him all the way up to his face and rock him. Although he still gets up at least once a night. He loves to eat his cereal. He is my sweet little boy!

Addison is now rolling over with ease and has started rolling all over the place. She loves to go pick up Cass from school and her face lights up with a huge smile when Cassady comes out. She doesn't like it when she can see or hear her dad and he is not holding her. She is becoming quite the chunkers. She has the cutest chunky legs and cheeks and chin and belly. She still weighs a pound less then AJ, but everyone always asks if she is bigger. She loves to play and giggle. It makes my day when she giggles. She is starting to give big wet slobber kisses (as Cassady calls them). When Addison gets tired I put her down in her crib give her her bink and her bunny put a blanket on up to her chin and she goes to sleep. Too easy, don't tell her that. She can be a drama queen and throw a fit, especially if she wants a bottle or you put her in her car seat. She is starting to eat the cereal better, but can suck down those bottles of hers. She is such a joy!
Josh and I were just discussing that we finally feel like we can go places and do things. At least when we are together. I still dread having to go anywhere alone. I have done it a few times and it has worked out well, but I just want to. I have had them all alone every day while Cass is at school and mostly until the girls get home. Cassady is a big help and I didn't realize how big until she started school. She loves them so much. We are doing it and surviving.
Yesterday we celebrated 5 months by going to Ogden. Jordan had an eye appointment to get contacts. You didn't know she wears glasses? It couldn't be because she never wears them. She will now be able to see without the embarrassment of glasses. We went shopping and everyone got gifts. Josh and I got a new stroller.
Chicco Trevi Twin Stroller - Extreme - Chicco  - Babies"R"Us





We both realized that other did not really like the stroller we had, but didn't want to complain. I had researched it and had really wanted it. It is so big and heavy and you have to take the seats off every time you fold it up. Such a pain. Now we have a side-by-side one also. It was the floor model and someone in the store gave us a 20% off coupon. We couldn't resist. Kylee got a new dress. It is so cute and salmon colored. You will have to attend church with us to see it though. I am sure she will never wear it any other time. Cass got a dress and some pants and leggings. The babies got clothes. We all went to dinner afterwards. It was a really fun day!Who are all these kids and why do they keep calling me mom!?
