5 Months Old

Wow! Are they really 5 months old already?! It's amazing to think back over the last month & almost hard to remember what it was like in the beginning. Max & Derek have made serious strides in their growth this last week. We've experienced so many firsts that I could probably write a book :)

They've rolled to their stomachs - Derek before Max. They've started to grab their feet - Max before Derek. Both of them are grabbing onto toys when we put them close to their hands. They have also started to sit in the bumbo. This only lasts for a minute or two, but is so much fun to watch! Now that they can hold their heads up, we have to hold them facing out. This also means that we can pull them to a seated position by their hands. They laugh on command & love to hear us talk. Almost any noise gets them smiling. It's one of the greatest feelings we have experienced to date :) Like last month, we know our little boys so much better & can usual figure out what's bothering them.
