Our Update

Everyone is doing great here. We're enjoying the beautiful Spring weather - it's great for getting out and about more. The babies don't have many warm weather outfits so darn it, I have to go shopping! (That was sarcasm).

Julia caught up with Sam & Sophie and rolled from her tummy to back for the first time the other day. Yeah Jules!

Sam hasn't broken any teeth yet but he's still being really clingy and fussy if you're not holding him. He is so precious to snuggle.

Sophie has her first boyfriend. Our friends came over and 15 month old Nik was obsessed with her! He was oblivious to the others but kept showering Sophie with kisses. How cute! She went to the doctor today to check her spleen. It had been up higher than normal, but it was fine now. She got weighed and is 10 lbs 4 oz now. Woo hoo double digits! She still has her high calorie formula, but now we add breast milk to it so it's half and half.

Our days are so great lately. We get up around 7, get dressed and I nurse Sam & Jules while Shane feeds Sophie. They usually have just 2 hours at the most of awake time so we play, read, talk... etc. Sam & Julia eat about every 3 1/2 hours and Sophie every 4. We just do the eat/awake time/sleep cycle till evening. Then we do baths every night around 6:30, then in bed by 7. They take 3 naps a day.

They are laughing more and more. They're all ticklish now! Shane discovered that if you hold Sophie out in front of you and swing her back and forth, she just cracks up. Sam likes getting blown on his tummy or chomping on his neck, and Julia's thighs and neck being tickled makes her giggle.

Shane has been sick for well over two weeks and is finally feeling better. Thank God that the babies or I didn't catch it. I am getting my hair done and a much needed massage tomorrow! It will be nice to get pampered!

We've added some new pics to the 5 month gallery so be sure to look!
