Today the boys and their cousins (Marcus, Nathan and Lucas) went to the mall to have their photo taken with the Easter Bunny. It was a big day! Cole and I had a big talk about it before we left.

Stay tuned for our Easter greetings!

Spring Photos

This morning was gray and rainy...perfect for a photo shoot! Aren't they gorgeous? I am SO in love with these pictures. Hope they brighten your day as they did ours.

Enjoy!

The Great Sippy Cup Experiment!

I was sterilizing my bottles and realized there weren't any spares for the boys feeding, so thought perhaps the sippy cups were worth a shot. Tommy was a pro! Immediately he got the hang of it.

Cole on the other hand was a bit confused. In the end, he figured that his hands were MUCH easier to eat. =)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We're 5 months old today!!!

Today Cole and Tommy are officially 5 months old! Here are some milestones we've achieved...

• They can sit up on their own for a short period of time and are getting stronger everyday.
• Rolling over is on the horizon! Tommy actually rolled over for my mom this morning. Cole has rolled over too...but we haven't had a repeat yet. While they've yet to master it -- they both kick their legs and can "almost" do it.
• They are great at holding toys and rattles and both of them love their exersaucers.
• We've got two cuddlebugs! They love to tell you stories. When you sit with them independently, they'll chatter and tell you all sorts of great stories.
• Both boys are really good eaters. They have 8oz bottles 4-5 times a day...and three meals.
• We now have full size car seats and strollers as they've outgrown their infant carriers. (!!) At 5 months old they are wearing 9-12 months in most things. They are so long they just can't fit into feet jammies or things like that unless they are 9-12. For shirts and shorts, 6-9 months still fits. (Thank god...I have SO many outfits they haven't worn yet.)
• It was really fun when they "discovered" each other. Now they are pals and chatter with each other in their cribs every morning.
• Cole has become our thumbsucker...while Tommy is a blankie man. =)
• The boys are sleeping about 4 to 5 hour stretches at night.
• They LOVE to laugh and smile. We've got two happy boys!

It's hard to believe that they are 5 months...they are just growing so fast! The months ahead should be fun as they continue to hit new milestones and make new discoveries. Stay tuned to find out what happens next. =)
