Here is just a quick update of the past month :)

 We are working on using a cup!

 Trying to pose together... not working Daddy is distracting us!

 What are these orange things with flowers and why are we outside in this heat?

 This water isn't warm like the bathtub is!

 Toys!

 Yes, that is my sister :)

 Happy 4th from the Mamos!

Will update when I am on vacation in 8 days :)  Till then take care everyone!

Happy 6 Months!

Today Lily weighed in at 16 lbs 1 oz, and was 26 inches long.  She is in the 50th percentile.  Grace weighed in at 13 lbs 4 oz, is 24.2 inches long, and is holding strong in the 5th percentile.  Life is just crazy over here.  The girls are noticing each other, and interacting by grabbing each other's hands, feet, head, whatever they can get ahold of.

Lily has turned from crabby baby to happy baby :)
She has been sleeping on her tummy for weeks now.  There is no changing it!
When placed on her back on the play mat, she instantly rolls over and looks up and smiles :)
She just started to slowly scoot backwards yesterday.
She is skeptical of baby food right now.
She loves to "stand up" holding onto our fingers, and also loves the exersaucer and the jumparoo!

Grace is laughing all of the time. 
She is very smiley, and if she does get upset she just needs the comfort of her binki.
She is holding a small cup (4 oz Avent bottle with special handle) pretty well.
She loves trying new foods and can't get enough baby food!
She scoots on her back across the floor!

These two are going to be mobile within the next month, if not within the next week for sure!  Time to baby proof the house!!!

Life is getting busier and busier around here!  I've been promoted at work to Assistant General Manager, a bitter sweet position for me for many reasons.  Also, my life has shifted with the hours/ shifts I work.  On one hand it's allowing me to be able to put my babies down an extra night a week :)  on the other, I'm learning way too many technical terms for food we carry!

I can't believe the girls are almost 6 months!  I've also been up since 4 am with about 3 hours of sleep so here is a quick recap of the past few weeks:

Lily has gone from our grumpy baby to smiley.  She has a huge grin almost all of the time.  She is now more predicitble with naps and goes down to be easier (knock on wood!)  She also has slept through the night two times in one week.  Maybe the end of late night feedings is almost over?!  She is rolling back to front and sleeps on her tummy every night.  It drives me crazy but I know so many of us slept that way and turned out ok :)

Grace has had a few road bumps with her docband and therapy.  The first day she was in the band for 24 hours a big blister appeared on the back of her head.  It was pretty bad and we have had her out of the band for a week now.  Her physical therapy is going well though and she has gone from a 30% range of motion to about 90%.  Her Daddy is working very hard with her on the pt at home.  She also had to go to her pedi to get her head checked out, but her pedi said she is doing great.  She weighed in at 12 lbs 10 oz.  I think Lily is close to 15/16 lb range and I think they are going to be in split sizes pretty soon.  What about all of the cute clothes I've already bought in matching sets? :)

Between 3 doctors appointments in two days my days off are not very producitve right now.  Grace is back for another evaluation to hopefully get her band back before too much more growth happends.  She has pt for 4 more weeks and the girls have their 6 month check up on July 11th! 

Here are a few snap shots:

 Cousin Mikey visiting!

 Mmmm... flowers :)

Our little buddy finally has her helmet.  Hopefully she will only need it for one round, about 6 weeks :(  Poor Baby!

Happy 5 Months!
