I am once again behind but I have 2 very good excuses!! The babies turned 5 months old on April 21st! How is that even possible? :)
At 5 months Mason weighs about 16 lbs and Mallory weighs about 15.5 lbs. Mason wears mostly 6 month clothes but some 9 month because of his long body. Mallory wears some 3 month clothes but mostly 6 month. Both are in size 2 diapers. What else are you doing at 5 months my little bitties? Still eating every 3 hours during the day, about 5-6 oz of Similac Advanced. You also eat rice cereal or oatmeal in the morning and a fruit at night. You love both!! You nap 45 min to an hour between each day feeding and sleep from 10 pm to 6-7 am straight. You get up to eat around that time and go back to sleep until 9 or 10 am. Well rested babies and a well rested Mama! ;) You both love to talk, play in your jumper and exersaucer, and smile all day! Mason can roll from tummy to back and back to tummy. Mallory can roll from tummy to back but does not love being on her tummy so doesn't roll that way yet! You are both sitting assisted and getting stronger as you work towards sitting on your own. You are not fans of riding in the car especially if you are tired. You do ride well if someone is in the backseat entertaining you though! :-) Your personalities are developing more everyday and I plan to blog about each baby individually soon. Besides all the obvious difference of having a boy and a girl...these kiddos are different down to the core!!! I love you both sweet angels!
We celebrated Easter in early April as well. One of my favorite holidays that I can't wait to share with the babies as they get older. This year we had a little fun complete with some egg hunting, Easter bunny baskets, and lots of family time!!
We also made 2 amazing trips in the last month. First, we had a great time in Dallas for our friends Charley and Jena's wedding. The babies came and stayed with Aunt Ami and Uncle Adam, my sweet sister and very proud Aunt and her husband, while we attended wedding festivities. They survived the weekend with our double trouble and I am convinced they are ready for one or two of their own! ;) Then we made a trip to Lubbock to see our wonderful friends Brad and Lacye and their sweet boys Maddox and Paxton. We adore that family and had a great time swimming and playing! Maddox has already promised to show Mason all the fun "big boy" things to do and we all agree that baby girl Harper (growing in Lacye's tummy) and Mallory will be the best of girlfriends!! Thanks to both families for opening your homes to our chaos for a couple of days! :)

Our new friends Maddox and Paxton! Already buddies! ;)
It has been a very busy last couple months and in just a couple of weeks our little tiny 4 and a half pound newborns will be 6 months old! Stay tuned for a post all about Mason and some never before seen pics of this handsome little dude!
