5 months!
We're about a week late on this one! But the kids are now five months (one week and one day).
A lot has happened over this month....
*The twins are getting more mobile now and as a result we are having to be more mobile too! The days of leaving them on a couch or bed are gone. They aren't quite crawling yet but they manage to twist and turn their bodies in such a way that changing them and getting them to sleep in their swings is more difficult.
*Ian can roll over. And over. And over. He rolled all the way across the living room and turned on the DVD player the other day. He looked so surprised when the sound and picture came in.
*Elanor can roll over--about 3/4ths of the way. She can't quite get one chubby little thigh over.
*Elanor sat up for the first time by herself a few days ago. It took a few seconds before she plopped back down again.
*They both really play with toys now, turning them, manipulating them, stealing them from each other...
*Their senses of humor are developing incredibly. They've understood physical humor for awhile (tickling, etc.). But now they understand the role of timing in humor. We can say things over and over, changing the rhythm, stopping in the middle, etc., and they'll both die laughing.
*Feeding them solids (rice cereal at the moment) is going really well.
*They're still sleeping through the night most nights. Every once in awhile someone will think 1 AM is play time, but that's pretty rare.
*We've started reading to them, and they're fascinated by books. They especially like one that has a fluffy kitty to pat. They'll both reach up and stroke the fur.
*They're both so joyful these days. A lot of time they'll wake up beaming when we go to get them up in the morning. And they love seeing daddy when he gets home from work.
