Spring/Easter photos... more posts below

catching up...

We have really been enjoying these pretty days that are finally here! We felt land-locked for so long after the twins were born, and now we can get out and about! They LOVE to swing together at the park!! Jack just kicks and laughs...it is hysterical!

They are getting really good at sitting up supported and are working on sitting for short intervals by themselves! I can't believe that they are 5 and 1/2 months old! It is crazy!

Enjoying Spring days in the back yard! Such fun with these little bundles!

Uncle Brad came to visit and we were SO excited to see him! Thanks for coming, Uncle Brad...we love you!!!

I know everyone thinks that Jack looks like me, and I think so too, but I really do see some of the "Turner" family in him...and Brad looks just like the Turner's (Cal's mom's family)...I see Brad in Jack sometimes...and so does Cal! It is amazing how their looks pass down!

5 months! wow this is flying by!

Happy 5 months, my sweet angels! It seems like this time is flying by way too fast for my liking. I want to keep you little forever, but yet, I want to see you bloom and grow into healthy, happy young man and woman. You are both just blossoming in front of our eyes!

LUCY:

- You are around 15 pounds.

- You drink 8 ounces of breast milk every 4 hours (I pump the milk for you)
- You still sleep all night from 7 to 7

- You still take 2 long naps from 9-11 and from 1-3

- You are very in love with your momma...you ALWAYS have to keep your eyes on me...and I love it!

- You will whine until I look at you and then you will just smile so big!

- You have just started using your hands so much more.

- You have really bloomed into a little social butterfly! You are a people person!

- You can roll from front to back and back to front!

- You will roll all over the floor, so we had to break out a much bigger "tummy time" blanket!

- You are such a happy and good baby.

- When you smile, you smile with your whole body... you just shake all over when you smile!

- You still like to be swaddled to sleep (I know..I know...I am trying to break you of the swaddle)

- You are IN LOVE with your daddy! You just stare at him with such love!

- You have a deep voice like your Nonna, and your little giggle is so deep and cute!

- You love your jumparoo and we have already had to bring it up a level. You had to stand on a little wooden cutting board for a while, but within a few days, your feet touched the floor- you are growing so fast!

- Your nickname is "Lucy Ladybug"...and you are SUCH a little lady. You hold your hands so daintily together and when we pick you up, you throw your left hand out in this prissy little position and just look all around and take everything in!

- You have started eating oatmeal cereal with a little prune juice every afternoon.

- You like to blow bubbles in every bite of food (we are trying to stop you from doing that- but it is so cute) You are really a good eater, though! :)

- You have stolen my heart, little princess!
