5 Months and Counting

It's hard to believe they are 5 months already. They're doing so many new things each day.
  • Aiden rolls from his back to his tummy and
  • Ella wants to stand all the time and will hop back and forth from one leg to the other in the jumperoo.
  • They both love the exersaucers and will play for quite a while in them, allowing Mommy and Daddy to get some things done!
  • This morning they really started sitting up with very little support and even unsupported for about 30 seconds. They think they're pretty BIG as you can see from the pictures!

We started oatmeal cereal last weekend. We thought Aiden would be the one to love it and that we would have a hard time getting Ella to eat it...boy, were we wrong! Ella loves her cereal and Aiden didn't care for it. We tried it again this morning with him and he's doing better each day. Ella would probably eat whatever Aiden didn't!


With all of these new things they have decided to protest sleep. They have been waking more at night, although still just requiring us to replace a pacifier, thank goodness. Naps...what are those? We were doing pretty well with a structured day of Eat, Activity, Sleep but the last week they have decided they will only take 30 minute naps for Mommy and Daddy because they are so excited to play with us.
