5 Months Old

Today our baby girls are 5 months old! I was feeding Meagan and she was trying to grab the bottle and thought to myself that we just went to the hospital and had them. The time is truly flying by, I am very excited to see what the next 5 months hold, but sad at how fast the "infant" stage has gone by.





Meagan is growing like a weed, she is finally in 3 month clothes and rolls all over the place, she is never in the same place that you leave her. She LOVES to sit up and play with anything she can get her hands on. She loves Maxx. He can make her giggle quicker then anyone else can. She eats like a champ and has not met a puree she does not like. Still not a great sleeper but is putting herself to sleep. Her new favorite toy is Mr. bee she does not like when we give it to Ella to play with, she tries to grab it back.

Ella is our tiny peanut, she is still in newborn clothes, but slowly moving up to 3 months. She is the most easy going baby I have ever seen. She is perfectly content playing with her hands or snuggling with her baby. She is an amazing sleeper, put her in her crib turn on her bunny and she is out. Still not great eater, but we are getting there. Bottles are getting easier and she is slowly starting to like solids. So far her favorite is sweet potato and avocado. She loves to sit up and watch everything around her. She is very quick to laugh at you and tell you a story. Her new favorite thing to do is blow raspberries (while eating, riding in the car and talking to you).

Life is wonderful I could not ask for more. We are leaving on our families first vacation to FL on Friday, the girls will be dedicated on Sunday and they are going to meet some family for the first time. Should be a great time!

quick update

Have not had much time to get on so while the girls are napping thought I would update

No new news on Ella's blood work, hopefully we will know something soon. I am taking the stance of no news is good news! She has been drinking all her bottle recently so that is a great thing.

I went back to work this week, while kinda! I took a job at a new preschool working from 9:00 to 1:00. The girls wont be going with me, but staying with a great friend in out house. I was not really ready to go back, but the bank account and bills had another idea!

We have tried all sorts of new food, so far the favorites are Avocado, Sweet Potatoes, and Squash! So far they both are great eaters and have not rejected anything. Maegan LOVES everything Ella is a little more picky.

They both have stared to sit up, they have great control for 4.5 months. Maegan is pretty sure she is grown and tires to get off the pillow that is propping her up and lunge for toys, daddy, maxx or anything else shes "has to have". Ella is much more content sitting there and playing with her hands/toys and blowing raspberries!

Maegan can now roll both ways and does it on any surface she is on, including the bath and being held! Ella is getting there but really has no desire to do so.

I think that is all for now...here is a recent picture of the them in the front seat of the car waiting on daddy to get the stroller.....
