5 Months old!!

I am really starting to get in denial that you are 5 months old. You are so funny and loving. You ADORE your brother and you smile and coo more than any baby I know!

You are growing SO much. You are wearing size 6-9 month clothes now and size 2 diapers. You are still drinking 5 oz at a time with your bottles when I am at work. You eat 6-7 times/day. I started you on brown rice cereal and you LOVED it. You understood how to eat from the beginning. No spitting it out or tongue thrusting.  I am going to wait closer to six months before we really start real baby food with you I think. You roll all over the place now from front to back and back to front. You also scoot/wiggle to get what toys you want. Of course, you love to try to get in to what Lucas is doing! You can sit up if you are supported with a boppy or something around you. Still no tooth yet, but everything goes in your mouth!

We put together your exerciser for you this month.

We got to meet Parker for the first time this month! Sweet cousin loving!

Trying on mama's old clothes from where I was a baby.

We went to Gaffney outlets to find you some crib sheets and had to stop and buy some apple butter. You had fun watching Lucas play.

Sadie in her new crib! You did pretty well sleeping in it. We took off the bumpers because of all of the precautions with SIDS, but you roll everywhere and was getting your arm in the rails. I bought some breathable, mesh bumper to put around it and you do great with it. You sleep in your crib some nights, but most nights you spend with mama on the couch. I really don't mind though because I know how fast you are growing and I love all of the moments of cuddling.

I really do mean it when I say you two love each other. Melts my heart!

5 months old!!!

You are soo beautiful! I love you so much!

Easter

The Friday before Easter, we ate at Grandma and Grandpa's house and dyed/hid Easter eggs.

Lucas LOVED dying the eggs and he did a really good job being only 2.

We also gave Lucas and Sadie some Easter surprises!

Lucas's basket!

Of course you loved the egg that I stole out of your basket from last year better than anything new : ).

Sadie with her basket of goodies!

Dying eggs at home to hide.

To say Lucas likes to hide eggs is an understatement. He actually likes to hide and find them. It was funny watching you hide your own eggs and then pretend you were soo surprised when you found them.

Sadie enjoyed watching her brother from the swing.

First time swinging together on the new swing set!

You thought finding the golden egg was the best thing ever. You hid it on the doorknob every time to "camouflage" it.

We always make cookies every holiday so of course we did for Easter. Cookies are your favorite sweet!

Making cookies, dying eggs, and hiding them wore both of you out!

On Easter Sunday, we celebrated the resurrection of our Lord! So thankful that He came to save us from our sins.

Both Sadie and I had on white dresses with purple cardigans, and Lee and Lucas wore matching gray suits with the same ties. I LOVE dressing alike. I am kind of obsessed with it.

Thankful for our Savior and the blessings that He has given us. I love Easter and I am so thankful for our little family. God has been so good to us!
