The twins turned 5 months old on Friday. How crazy!!! I took some pictures of them to post on the blog, but Ryan has taken the camera with him to Washington D.C. And once again, I wasn't thinking fast enough to get the pictures, so I will journal for now and add some pictures when he gets back.
Each baby is doing really well, it is almost scary!! They are both gaining weight and getting stronger every day. Our Babysitter put them on the scale earlier this week...so I have an unofficial weight of 13 pounds for both of them. Becky said that there is still about 1/2 pound between them. Her scale doesn't do ounces. As they are gaining weight, it is getting harder to tell them apart. Even Ryan said he has to put them together to make sure he has the right one. I won't admit it, but it is easier when they are side-by-side.
We have had to switch bracelets in the last month. We had some when they were first born and that is what we used to help tell them apart. We keep losing Hallie's new one. The bracelets are just a little too big and her's keeps falling off. Remie is better at keeping her's on. Maybe its the extra 1/2 pound.
It has been fun to see their personalities coming out. Hallie is our little talker. She will talk (coo) your leg off. She is so smiley and happy....most of the time. Remie is more reserved. Remie will talk and smile...it just takes her a little longer to warm up. They both are doing well with their motor skills. They both are beginning to find their hands and know that they can reach for things. Hallie is doing a little better with it, but Remie is starting to catch on. They are also starting to hold their own bottles. THANK GOODNESS. We still have to help, but it is nice to know that they be able to do it, on their own soon! It is also funny to watch them when we shake up the bottles. They get so excited or even stop crying when they hear it.
As for the sleeping, well, they are starting to sleep longer at night. They are generally waking up just for their binkies....those dang binkies! We typically don't feed them until 6:00 am. So I should probably be grateful it is not earlier. It is just all of the in-between binkie runs that make the night hard. Ryan has been really good about jumping up first. THANK YOU!! So that is the last month in a nut shell.
I should probably be more grateful that they are not walking yet, that is when all of the fun will begin!!
