5 months!

 

How can my baby boys be five months old already??? Oh how time flies. Jonathan and Christopher are doing great! They are working soo hard on sitting up by themselves! Christopher is a rolling machine! He flips from his back to tummy, back to tummy, back to tummy, …. Just this morning he was on his play mat on the rug in the living room and I turned my head for two seconds and he had flipped three times to make his way under the coffee table. Lord help me!! Jonathan rolls from his tummy to his back but he has not yet mastered rolling from his back to tummy… he just needs a little more time. Christopher is very active and wants to move all the time. Jonathan is our more laid back baby and likes to look all around and examine and explore new things. He also LOVES watching tv. Their favorite is mickey mouse clubhouse. Christopher has a new obsession of sucking on his bottom lip.. it is so adorable he looks like he is blowing us fishy kisses! They both still LOVE diaper changes, and Christopher has found his feet!!! Every time we change his diaper he is grabbing his toes! Jonathan loves to throw his arms back by his head to stretch and relax at the changing table… see I told you he was our laid back baby! Both boys can not keep their fingers out of their mouth!!!! They are really grabbing at all their toys and everything goes straight to the mouth! We must be doing something backwards because we think they are both SOOO close to crawling ( before sitting up??).. probably just a few more weeks. They get their legs up but they can’t quite figure out how to work their arms to crawl yet. We are having lots of tummy time to practice! Their daily routine is going wonderful!! They are doing a lot better with the solid foods! They have rice cereal in the morning for breakfast with a fruit mixed in and at night they have vegetables. Their favorite breakfast fruit is apples and pears. They do not like peaches AT ALL! Their favorite vegetables are carrots and sweet potatoes! Surprisingly they actually love peas and green beans! They absolutely LOVE bath time they splash and make a huge mess!!! Not fun for mommy and daddy but they LOVE it so we don’t mind! We actually just recently had to buy a bigger baby bath tub because the one we got from our shower is to small now. We just had to take Jonathan to the doctor because his eye was irritated.. they think he might of scratched it so they prescribed him some eye drops. He does not like that at all! They prescribed the same for Christopher because his tear ducts are not wide enough.. he was born with them that way so they get really goopy.. poor baby. If his eyes do not clear up by nine months then we have to take him to see an ophthalmologist. They weighed Jonathan at the doctor and he weighed 17.4 pounds! We are thinking that Christopher is probably a pound or so heavier than him. Of course smiles are infinite these days and boy are they absolutely adorable! My heart stops every time they smile. We are getting bunches of laughs and giggles these days! Although daddy is the only one that can make them laugh and laugh and laugh for a good 15 minutes. They both are sleeping in their cribs every night… and occasionally they wake up through the night but we think that is because their gums are bothering them. Usually with a little rocking and a song they go right back to sleep. We are loving every second with them, they are truly a gift! We shower them with LOVE and lots of kisses everyday! Greg and I are trying so hard to get them to say mama or dada but no such luck yet! Fingers crossed they will soon! We can’t wait to see how much they will grow and change this next month! They are truly two amazing and strong little boys! After everything they went through you would never know that they were born one month premature. They fill my heart with so much love! They are precious! You never know a mothers love until you become a mother.. I love you baby boys!
