I simply can NOT wrap my head around the simple fact that it is already the 8th of December. WHAT?
And I have 6 month old twins? What? And Christmas is 2 weeks away? What?
So......a bit shorter than usual because I've got a limited window of time and SO much to do.....here is month 5's recap:
Huddy McStud
You little charmer you! You are still my happy, go-lucky little baby boy...wake up smiling, laughint and charming us! You are VERY strong and becoming VERY curious when it comes to moving around. You want to move, roll, scoot around....I think you'll be crawling before we know it!
Here are a few stats on you big fella:
Size 3 Dipers
About 7-8oz at each bottle, 5 bottles a day
Take 3 naps (45mins to 1.5hrs) a day
You have eaten anything I put in front of you as far as solids go....and seem to like it all! You and your sister seem to both REALLY enjoy eating from a spoon......oh and drinking water from the sippy cup which you have mastered!
Foods you've tried: Bananas, Apples, Squash, Pears, Peaches and Sweet Potatoes. I mix this in with a little oatmeal or cereal and formula.....and you gobble it down!
You have been a good sleeper....but have been going through a little phase of waking up. We thought it was teeth.....but now I think it's just this "mobile" personality of you wants to wiggle around in your sleep which is waking you up.
Toys you love: Sophie the Giraff, anything that blinks or lights up, your Jumperoo and rattles. You THINK that our cell phones are toys.....and are constantly grabbing for them.

You are quite a vocal little girl lately. Chatting, blowing bubbles, squeeling....talk, talk, talk. You have an adorable little voice...I can't wait to hear you talk when you're able to! You have started to have a little freak out when left in a room by yourself.....which is tough when I'm trying to get a few things done while you're playing with your brother in the living room......so I've started to make it a game of "peek a boo" where I leave the room to do something (grab laundry, go to the bathroom) but run/jump back into the room and say "Peek a boo".....makes you giggle almost everytime!
You wear size 3 dipers
You drink 5-7oz, 5 times a day
Take 3 naps (45mins to 1.5hrs) a day
LOVE LOVE the highchair and eating like a big girl. I think you'd eat anything.....as long as you got to sit at the table with us!
You like to sip from the sippy cup and then throw it at the floor as hard as you can....fun little game that we play everyday! :-/
Actually, you like to throw your toys around quite violently....it's amazing how far you can toss your little arms around! Ha
Foods you've tried: Bananas, Apples, Squash, Pears, Peaches, Sweet potatoes. We've had success with all options so far......just you wait for pea's and green beans.....we will see what you think then!?
You and Hudson are double teaming us in the sleep department. One of you has a GREAT night......the other has a not-so-great night. So...we have resorted to taking turns getting up at night with you guys so that the getting up at night is broken up. I am hoping this is just a little phase because you guys were SUCH amazing sleepers. You both still sleep from 7:30-7am but there are a few wake up calls in that 12 hour time frame.
Your favorite toys: The blue hand, Sophie the Giraff, the blue mushroom thing (no idea what it is), soft things like burp clothes, lovey's and clothes......you LOVE to throw them around.
There you have it babykins! You are 5 months and mama wants time to stop for a bit because it's just going way, way, way too fast! Here are a few pics from this month:
I can not believe how much they're eating! Hudson is going to be ON the move so soon. Let's pray the girls are too. I told Jeff I think G will be like a little puppy once she's crawling...following us around...Harps too;-)
ReplyDeleteThey are so adorable! I miss you all! We should try to get together again when we can :-)
