Kiddo update



Adam is 5 months today! He is a large baby. We are guessing he is quickly closing in on 20lbs since he is drinking all of his bottles now. We are trying to start food, but it is not being met with much enthusiasm. He is well out of his 6-9 month clothes so there are many more spring/summer 9 month clothes being put away with tags on them. We never could have anticipated him being so large since we are not huge people.

We took away Adam's paci and he is sleeping somewhat better at night, but we are still not getting good naps. He is making more sounds now and has discovered his yell which is funny. He has his happy moments, but in general is a serious guy. He watches and listens to his sisters. He loves them as they do him. Layla loves to hold "her baby". This is funny because he is almost as big as she is.
We are all looking forward to some nice weather soon. The girls need to get outside and Adam will certainly enjoy it also. We are sure Jeanna (the nanny) will love to get out with them when she can and let them all expend some energy.

This is a new game Layla loves.

We didn't want to jinx it earlier, but Layla is finally off prevacid! It has been a few weeks now and she is doing great. She is eating a regular diet including cheese and yogurt and has been loving it. She is the loudest of our kids so far, but is usually happy. She gets annoyed at Hannah and tends to be vocal about it, but all in all, she is really awesome. She sleeps great, eats great and is just a super cool kid.

Hannah is getting very smart. She will be in jr. kindergarden in the fall. This is good because she needs to be challenged. She is still tall and skinny, but you see from the picture that her curls are gone. Her hair is so thick and heavy that it is getting very straight. She certainly tests us sometimes, but is a very sweet girly girl who loves her siblings and all animals. Hannah still gets up around 6am and has pretty much since birth. We don't forsee this changing until she is a teenager. She is a picky eater, but is still growing/thriving and is very healthy!

So the kids are great, we both have jobs, we are all healthy and life is good.
