5 Months Old

At 5 months old, Emmy and Max are alert and active.  They are busy little people, which in our little family means they fit right in,

Emmy weighs 13. 5 pounds (about).  She prefers to sleep on her belly which makes me very nervous.  The second after I put her on her back, she rolls right back on her belly,  She is all over the crib though, so she and Max still sleep in seperate beds.   She is really smiley and smiles with her whole face so big!  She adores Adelyn!  Shes teething also and has developed the habit of sucking her thumb.  I have tried to put gloves on her, but I dont get them on her fast enough,  I am trying to stop the thumb sucking early (I sucked my thumb till I was 14), but she is so cute and so determined to do it.  I think it helps her teething situation.  She is a very pretty girl.  Today I had 3 different people tell me how pretty she is.  She is bigger than Max still, but I hope as time goes on eventually this will change,  Her hair is getting very long and she had her first hair cut (just her baby hair).  Her hair is going blondish brownish with a tint of red just like her mamma.  

Max is such a fun boy!  Like his brother Boston he loves all things boy already.   He loves to watch T.V. and especially football.  He is such a happy boy but gets pretty jealous if his sister is getting more attention than him.  He really loves to be held. He is very social and loves people.  He has a hard time taking naps during the day because he is afraid he will miss something, yet when he is really tired, it doesn't matter where we are he will sleep.  He is smaller than Emmy but I am guessing he is still 13 pounds. He is such a joy to have around and I love seeing his personality coming to be.

It was their Halloween too!  We went to the school carnival and then went the babies stayed home with Travis while we went trick or treating.  Here are their first Halloween Costumes:
