Our boys are 5 months old today! We will not have another doctor checkup until they turn 6 months, so we're not sure how much they've grown since last month. I can definitely tell they've grown though because some of their 6-month clothes that used to fit perfectly are now starting to feel a little snug!
A few other changes since last month...
-They often turn to look at us when we call their names.
-They're going through a phase where they only want mommy to feed and put them to bed at night. Evan and I are working hard to break them of this!
-They'll spit bubbles on command. :)
-They're starting to play with their toys.
-We tried to add rice cereal to their bottles, but their stomachs did not react well at all. So, we stopped after a couple of days. We'll start with vegetables and fruits within the next couple of weeks.
-They can support their heads very well now, which makes carrying them around so much easier. We can't wait until they can hold their own bottles!
-They're starting to get bored quickly, especially when laying on their backs. They're happiest when we hold them in a sitting or standing position.
-They still can't roll over and HATE tummy time, so maybe they'll just skip crawling and go straight to walking!
That's all I can think of for now, so here are their 5 month photos. We started the morning with our traditional monkey picture...
5 monkeys = 5 months
Before leaving the house, I decided to take another quick picture... can Bryce (left) look any more bored? And, don't you just love their mohawks? :)
As many times as I've made them pose with their stuffed monkeys, I think they think the monkeys are their real friends!
Can you tell which one of our boys is the more "temperamental" one?
Here they are at only 5 days old. I can't believe how tiny they were.
I wish they would still sleep close together like this... I loved watching them sleep face to face.
