really? almost six months? almost HALF A YEAR? whaaaa?
i forgot how FUN five months is.
they are champ sleepers. three solid naps a day and about 10 hours at night.all my children were/are like this. i am CONVINCED it’s their daddy’s genes.
they spend lots of time playing and laughing and bouncing in their jumperoos.

they are so happy and smiley.

they LOVE interaction of any kind. especially when their big sisters pay attention to them.

and they love being in their bumbo chairs right now. usually they face eachother and clasp their feet together. SO sweet.
they are always touching:

always cooing, blowing bubbles, shrieking,kicking, sucking hands (sometimes each other’s hands!)

such good babies. always up for an adventure. such good troopers. they go go go. up a mountain, to a restaurant, in the car, to the stores…

and everywhere we go we get stopped. j and i play a guess how many people talked to the babies game.
at the biltmore i had them both in my lap while j took the bigs for a restroom break. when he came back i had him guess and i think he was surprised by my answer of a dozen or so!
but the biltmore is full of people! and they all wanted to know about my girls. 🙂 and i love to talk as we all know.
so let me tell you about them.
lucy:
is such a low key, go with the flow, easy,affable baby.
she’s so content to just play. and smile. and eat.
she rolled a few times and hasn’t been interested since. the size of her thighs may or may not be affecting her mobility.
clearly the girl likes to eat. she’s a big,heavy baby!
i finally took the plunge and trimmed off the horrible comb over she had going on top. now her hair is a sweet,dark,even peach fuzz. i love rubbing it.
she has a tooth trying to get through on the bottom.
is a SUPER messy eater of oatmeal (they eat oatmeal once or twice a week at this point).
loves to be held, especially by her daddy.
gets kicked in the face about 93890980 times a day by her spazzy sister but doesn’t cry about it. she just kind of looks at her like…are you crazy cate??
fits in some of her 9 month clothes.
LOVES sleep. when we put her in her crib she GRINS at us. like “FINALLY! THANK YOU MOMMY!!!”.
loves to bat at her toys that hang from her playmat.
cate:
eats like a champ suddenly. can now finish a bottle before her sister, eats her oatmeal like a maniac.
rolls non-stop. this is not an exaggeration.back to front,front to back,back to front. it’s ridiculous.
always arching her back, pushing off of something with her feet, head back…out.of.control.we are convinced that she wants to crawl.
is still very finicky. she likes things a certain way. and that way only.
is drooling so much right now,it looks like she’s foaming at the mouth.
loves to wring her hands.
screams like a crazy monkey when she’s mad.
can still fit into lots of her 0-3 month clothes.
9 out of ten times if a baby is crying, it’s cate. bless her sweet, cranky little heart. 🙂
but she also smiles the most radiant, happy smile.
they both do. 🙂
i love them so so so much. it hurts my heart. and it’s so FUN.it’s getting more and more fun every single day.
happy friday!
xoxo
