5 months!!

The twins are 5 months old today. They're growing so fast, I can't believe I have TWO babies and not newborns anymore. Having twin babies is a lot of fun. I love watching them grow up and interacting with each other.  Its been a lot of work but having Evan home from Logan has helped out. I now feel like a family.

*   They both can roll over but don't really care to.


*   They both are starting to laugh a lot during the day, but you really have to work for Bentleys laugh or even smile.


*  Chloe is really close to sitting up. Bentley isn't he's a little lazy.


*  They are eating about 6 oz a feeding.  Chloe eats more then Bentley but weighs less then him. We tried baby cereal again and I made some different baby foods. Bentley will eat it up but likes to put his hands in his month when he's eating and gets the food everywhere. Chloe wants nothing to do with it. She spits it out every time.


*  Both are still in 0-3 month clothing but can wear some 3-6 months.


*  They go to bed around 9:30 or 10 and sleep until 8:30 or 9. They go to bed so good we put them down in the same crib and they just look at each other and fall asleep. They still like to be wrap up in two blankets before going to bed (like a newborn). When they wake up they're still wrapped up. They're also sleeping in their own room. 


*  When they wake up in the morning they talk to each other I love to listen to them. I always wait a few minutes before I go get them.


*  Bentley is shy like his dad, he will smile at people but then hide his face. If he has just woken up he gives a really worried look for the first 10-15 minutes at anyone that is talking to him. Chloe is a people person like her mother. She always has a big smile on her face. The other week when we were at church she was so happy to see all the people.


*  Chloe loves to lay on the floor or bed and grab at her feet.

*  Bentley loves getting ready for bed he laughs every time his getting out of his clothes. Im a little worried about that.  


*  Bentley has a toy that hangs down over his head and loves it. When he lies under it he smiles at it and looks like he's counting them to make sure all his friends are there. He also grabs at it and tries to put them in his month.


*  Chloe likes to sit in her high chair and play with her toys she has a doggie that is hanging on a ring. She loves to put it on her arm like a purse.


*  Both love Jazmine (our big dog) when ever she comes around they stop whatever they are doing and just watch her. She doesn't feel the same for them. I think she would like them to go back to the hospital. They don't care to much about Logan (our little dog) and he feels about the same.

*  Chloe's nickname is coco or coco beans. Bentley doesn't really have one right now.


*  Grandma babysat the other day I was so worried that they would just cry the whole time. But they were so good and just went to bed.


*  Chloe poops all over her clothes almost every time she poops. Bentley has only done that once.


*  At their 4 month Bentley weighed almost 14lb. and Chloe weighed almost 13lb. Chloe was a little taller at 25in and Bentley was 24 1/2in.


*  They both are started to know if I'm in the room or don't.  Bentley really hates it when I leave the room. I can even be in the same room but if he can't see me he gets mad.  Some times other people will be holding Chloe and she will realize I'm not around and get really mad, but it takes her a minute before she realizes it.

I'm loving being a stay at home mommy. I'm even living in the moments and enjoying them. I'm so happy I get to watch them grow. I'm not going to lie there are times when I just want to cry with the twins, but then they do something and I remember how much it means to me that I have them in my life. I'm so grateful to Evan for working so hard so I can be home with my children all day. What a wonderful gift that is, thanks babe.
