5 Months

Hi little babies! You are 5 months old. I can't believe it. You are growing so fast and big. Juliet yo have been grabbing things for a couple of weeks now and are such a grabby little thing....you grab everything. :) It is so cute and fun to see. Jace just started using his hands to grab his toys and things this week.  You both coo and jabber and it is adorable. Juliet you still seems so tiny and little and Jace seems a bit bigger. I don't know how much you weigh, prob a pound and a half different most likely. :) Kason has taken a great loving to you two. He gets in your face and says, "Hi Jace!""Hi Juliet!" It is so cute. :) He rubs your heads and bellies and wants to hold you guys sometimes. The girls carry you around like you are their dolls. They are great helpers when they feel like it.:) Ryder loves you both too and he is cute to see with you since he didn't have much to do with Kason when he was a baby. :) Probably because he was easy going and didn't care much. :) Juliet we got your ears pierced last Sat on the 6th. :) I guess it was your 5 month bday gift. :) You are so cute with your new earrings.:) You have started to just stare at mom and dad a lot. It is so funny. ;) When you are being held you turn your head and cute little eyes and just stare at mom and dad it is so cute. :) I can't believe how fast time flies. I am sad you aren't so little anymore, and just keep growing :(. I don't know if you are our last babies or not and I hate that you are so big. I hate that it is harder to hold you both at the same time. I want to be able to do that forever. You are both so squirmy now it is hard. I miss holding you both in my lap. :( You still grab hands when you are next to each other and I love it. LOVE IT. Sometimes I still can't believe I had twins....and yet here you are. You look nothing a like. Jace you look like Dad and your brothers and Juliet you def. look like me...and perhaps Halle. Or Jayda. It is funny you are so different and great also. :) I love you little pumpkins so much. I just want to cuddle you all day and you are too big for that.:) I just have to settle for you head in the crook of my neck and me kissing on your for only a couple of minutes now instead of for as long as I want. :) You are getting great at holding up your heads and preparing to sit. Things are a little slower since you are #7 and #8 but that is okay, I am happy to keep you young as long as I can. :) I love you dearly.

Motor Skills

So lately you are both wobbly bobblies. :) You squirm around a lot, if I lay you on the floor you squirm your way around and end up all crooked with hands and feet on each other and twisted around. :) Juliet, you discovered how to use your hands this past week. You grab your toys above your seat and grab anything...(which you have since birth) but now you have control over it. :) It is cute. You grab my face and you give open mouth kisses. :) I  look at you and you seem so small and tiny still. You are about 11 lbs and still you are tiny for a little 4 month almost 5 month old. You have the cutest most precious smile and I love it when I earn it. :) You are so sweet and still a good sleeper.

Jace, you haven't found your hands yet except to put them in your mouth or grab your feet to put them in your mouth. :) You still smile so big and it is so precious. You open wide and smile big for kisses. You are growing big, and seem to be hungry all the time. You often have an extra feeding or two that Juliet doesn't. You are so cuddly and I love to just squeeze and love on you.

Both of you watch everyone and see what is going on. You turn your heads and follow us around. You have figured out that you don't want to be sitting in a swing all the time anymore.:) But you both can't quite hold your heads up yet...almost....you just get a little tired. You can almost sit in a bumbo...I would love to write more but Jace is crying and the boys are making a mess in the bathroom, so I must go. Love you both!
