Sneak Peak

... Testing the costume out! 

What?!? 5 months!

Tons of photos this time around!

Where did this month go? October went by so quickly and so now the boys are 5 months old. Lots happened this month for them.

We ended month three, started mouth4 with a trip to the pumpkin patch. Nothing too exciting happen here, just some pictures and picked up pumpkins.

Then mom tried to take our pictures with said pumpkins.  But it was hard to convince us to sit up. So she tried to put pumpkins between our legs to help.

Then we made a quick trip to blacksburg to see grandma and help with a race. 

Then during the week we have to be a handful so mom will hold us. We are getting bored and so ready to be on the move. 

Then dad comes home and is silly with us. And we love it. 

We have also spent time this month perfecting the roll from back to tummy. We are pretty good at it now. 

And a big milestone is that we just started to eat real food this month. We love bananas! We also tried some squash. Not as awesome as bananas, but when mixed with bananas we will eat it. We also prefer to suck on the food instead of eating from a spoon. 

We also got to go to the NC state fair this month. G was all about people watching, he refused to nap during that time because there was great people watching to be had. C was all about the nap though. 

We also moved to size 2 diapers. Which we probably could have done sooner, but mom and dad was trying to finish up a pack of size 1s. 

We babble ALL the time now. We love it when people will talk with us. 

We also got costumes made for us... (Pictures to be revealed soon!)

We got a new toy that we love.

When we step, it makes music. This was one of the few toys at the store where we could reach the floor! We are soo short for our age. 

We also started to notice each other play with each other this month. 

So a few months back mom and dad said we were the stinkiest kids ever. We decided to trade that in now for the droolest kids ever. (These kids don't do anything half-hearted!!!!) Don't get us wrong, we are still pretty stinky. But we now focus our time on producing drool. 

 (Notice big wet spot on sheet)

(Or the big one coming from C's mouth in this one)

So we've had bibs on all the time (which end up soaking wet soon after)

We are drinking 4ozs or more at a time now. 

That's all for now. Halloween pictures to come!

BANANAS!!!!

The boys are changing fast and I kept thinking about posting something about them but I haven't been able to take any good photos recently.

C got to try bananas today. G was too full when we tried so he was not interested.

 

I can hold it by myself

But finding my mouth can be tricky

OMG BANANAS!

Besides snacking on bananas, the boys have been practicing rolling over. We have found them over night on their tummys, but they haven't rolled over consistently on the floor yet. But they do spend a lot of time trying!

spoiled Rotten

The boys are getting to a point where they are bored unless they are in my lap. So we scream until we are held. Notice the red faces in the picture.

 

Doctor visit- 4 months

The boys had their doctor appointment today for their 4 month well visit. They continue to do well.

C-
Height: 23.3 inches (0% percentile)
Weight: 13lb 13 oz (13% percentile)
Head Circumference: 16.5 inches (48% percentile)

G-
Height: 23.3 inches (0% percentile)
Weight: 13lb 2 oz (7% percentile)
Head Circumference: 16.1 inches (23% percentile)

They got another round of shots, they liked it even less than last time. G seems to be pretty fussy since having them. C is handling it a little better.

We go back in another 2 months for our next one.

The doctor said that as the boys seem interested we can try solid foods, but that they aren't quite ready yet, their head control needs to be a little more stable. But she said she is so impress at where they are cause they are acting like normally 4 month old babies and not ones that were born 7 weeks early.

plotting to take over the world....

The boys seem to really notice each other this morning. They are plotting on how to take over the oliver house hold now....

 

 

They also were having a battle of sticking their tongues out at each other.
