Making Progress and Driving Mommy Crazy

We are all doing well.  I'll update with the pictures.

 

The boys have learned how to wiggle their way out of the swing.  I now have to use the straps to hold them down or else they get out and end up halfway on the floor.  This is Alex demonstrating.

 

Babies are silly.  Ben making a funny face and Alex with his head by Ben's butt.  We were working on rolling over.  Alex got over and then squirmed into this position.

 

Alex and Cody working on standing.  They don't really like sitting most of the time.  They would rather stand.

 

Ben.  They both have this strange love of cuddling blankets.  They often pull the blankets off their feet so they can snuggle them up by their face.

 

My babies on their 5 month birthday (or so).  Alex purple Ben white.

 

Ben

 

They are getting really strong.  Just a week ago I put them in this and had to put blankets around them to prop them up.  Now they sit in it unassisted and sometimes play with the things around them.  Alex.

 

Brotherly love.  Ben on the left (green) and Alex on the right (purple).  Alex looks smaller than Ben for some reason, but that is not the case.  He weighs over a half pound more and their heads measure exactly the same.  It must be the angle or something.  Also, their weight growth percentile caught up to their head growth percentile.  I can no longer say they have giant heads for their bodies.  Now they just have normal size heads.  Boring.

 

They are getting a lot more fuzzy little hair.  It is coming in a lot lighter than their original hair.

Cody's sister came to visit with her son. The only cousin picture where everyone is settled.  Alex in white, Cousin in the middle, Ben in red.  Cousin was running low on diapers, so we stuck him in cloth.  Lucky baby!  I have some other good ones, but I don't want to be the crazy lady that posts pictures of other people's children.

 

What it turned into immediately.  3 baby photography is a lot harder than 2 baby photography.

 

 

Getting crazier.  Alex white Ben red

 

 

Again, their heads are the same size, but Ben looks a lot rounder.  Must be the light or something.  Ben in black Alex in blue

 

Baby wrestling

 

Having cousin around sure wore out the boys!  Alex closest Ben far away

 

 

 

This series is called, "Playing with Two Babies"  (this was over the course of 10-15 minutes)

 

Look, Alex is having fun!

 

 

Ben is not!

 

Alex sure is enjoying that toy!

 

 

Ben is not.

 

I seem to have gotten Ben to calm down.  Good.

 

 

Uh oh, there  goes Alex.
