5 Months Old, Really??!!

Sooo, we've been MIA the past few weeks. It seems as though life is catching up to us and there simply are not enough hours in the day to be a full time mom and a full time business owner, plus all the other "jobs" I try to hold. But, I am trying very hard to take a few minutes every day to do something that I enjoy and keeping this blog updated is one of those things. Hopefully I can stay more on top of it!

So, how did the past 5 months fly by so quickly? Seriously, Will and Henry are already 5 months old!! I love this baby stage--they are roly poly, cuddly, smiley and their personalities are shining. Ugh, melt me.

Having twins is definitely a challenge but it so much more of a blessing. Having two incredibly sweet and loving babies look at you with love in their eyes and huge smiles makes all the hard work more than doubly worth it!

So, here's a quick run down of what these two have been up to!

Mr. William--Will is such a happy baby and seems to live life passionately. He LOVES LOVES LOVES his toys--so much so that he hits them and yells at them when he can't make them do what he wants and eventually cries until Mommy, Daddy or Jack help him out! He smiles constantly and has a belly laugh that makes everyone else laugh too. He is super temperature sensitive--if he's hot he will definitely let you know and it usually isn't pleasant. He likes tummy time but is just as happy to lay on his back on his play mat. He eats like a champ but is also very messy. He could care less if half his bottle spills out of his mouth or he wipes his hand in sweet potatoes and then smears it all over his face. At his four month check up (yes, I realize I am a month late in reporting) he came in at a whopping 16 lbs 6 oz and 24 1/2 inches long!!!! He is an easy baby but could absolutely sleep more. He seems to have some sort of weird internal clock that only allows him to take 40 minute naps. He wakes up 40 minutes on the dot, EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! I am longing for the day he gets into the 2 hour nap routine!!!

Mr. Henry
Oh, those ears. I could still eat them up! Henry is so laid back and easy going. He seems to just sit back and take the world in, observing everything around him. He loves to play but is just as happy to be held and cuddled. He learned to roll over first, which is funny because he used to despise tummy time. However, once he could get to his tummy on his own, he literally was on a roll and we can't stop him from doing it. He seems to be more of a finicky eater than Will (much like his big brother). He is picky about which bottles he will eat from and if he doesn't want any baby food, he will purse his lips and literally turn his head away! He is obviously not wanting for food though. At his four month check up he came in at 16 lbs and 24 3/4 inches long. I think all 3 boys will be towering over me by the time they are 10 years old. He is a better sleeper than Will, although by no means perfect, and is getting on a better sleep schedule every day.

The twins absolutely adore Jack and literally light up when Jack walks in the room. It is so fun to see the bond that the twins share (holding hands, reaching for each other, calming each other down) but it is also amazing to know that the 3 boys will share such a special relationship.

I am simply madly in love with my 3 boys!
