Happy 5 months girls

Oh my dear Eliza & Nolia... how can it be that you are 5 months old already. Since you still don't have a baby book I thought I would 'document' what you're like at 5 months here so i'll never forget!

you are so alike in so many ways... yet there are many small things that make you-you.

you both...
smile and giggle
hold hands ALL THE TIME
have blue eyes
suck your thumb
sleep in the same crib
wear large bum genius diapers
wear 6-12 & some 12-18 month clothes
wear 0-6 month pedipeds
roll over from tummy to back
try to sit up
play in the supersaucer
sit up in the bumbo seat
take showers with mom
nurse at the same time
take 1 long morning nap & 2-3 shorter naps
smile every time you see your brothers
try to lift yourself up if you're the 2nd one to be picked up
let mama rock you to sleep for all of your naps
study each others faces
eat each others fingers and hands
wear the same thing 98% of the time {mama is relaxing a bit lately}
look exactly the same with a hat on {tricking even mama & dad}
are incredibly happy and easy going




Eliza you...

stick your tongue out a lot
suck your bottom lip in
make a funny raspberry noise
have longer hair than your sister
have a ringlet curl by your ear and a swirl on top
fall asleep first {1-2 minutes}
wake up more than your sister at night {1-2 times}
sing to me in the middle of nursing
reach for your sister for her to hold your hand
17 lbs.



Nolia you...

have wispy, fuzzy hair, it's growing in
suck your thumb while nursing
sleep through the night - early morning
squirm a little more than your sister
hold on to blankies
sing la-la {sounds like liza}
hold your sisters hand a lot
17 1/2 lbs.



it's so amazing to watch you girls together... the closeness... the connection... it's a gift, an amazing gift that I am so blessed to be able to be a part of!

I LOVE you girlie girls!!! Happy FIVE months!!!



** they look VERY different to me in these pictures... it's funny they look identical one second and not the next. It depends on their facial expression a lot**

  4. I cannot believe that they are 5 months already! They are so precious and have grown into such beauties. Not that they weren't beauties before...you know what I mean!! Thank you for sharing them with us. So neat to watch them grow. And I think this is the PERFECT baby book {grin}

  5. So so sweet. I don't have a baby book either. I mean really...who has time for such a thing :-)

    Your post reminds me so much of my boys. They like to hold hands too.

    Happy 5 Months girlies!!!

  7. Could they be any sweeter? I think not! ; )

    Thanks for the update on your girlies. I don't know how you keep them straight. I would HAVE to dress them differently!

    Have a great day Britt!

  8. It's been FIVE MONTHS already!? It seems like they were just born!

    They're gorgeous - but of course, you already knew that.

  9. What beautiful pictures! And they look identical to me. I would have to dress them differently all the time to tell them apart.

  11. They are absolutely beautiful!

    NO~ I don't believe they could be any cuter, more adorable or any more LOVED!

    YES~ I believe you are blessed beyond measure to be their Mommy!

    Not only Happy 5 Months Girls but Happy 5 Months Brittany!

    p.s.Don't feel bad about not having started a baby book for twins, neither of my girls (9 & 5 years old) have a completed book. I can't even tell you where they are.

  17. Happy 5 months to your girls!!!!

    My boys will be 5 months next week. It's gone so fast, hasn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Congratulations! They are so beautiful! 5 months is such a fun age!

    On a different subject, I noticed your girls wear bumgenius diapers. I am pregnant and planning on using cloth with this baby but I am overwhelmed by the choices! Do you use bumgenius exclusively? What do you like about those diapers as opposed to others? What kind of detergent do use? Have you ever used prefolds? I hope you don't mind me bombarding you with questions! If you have a chance to email me I would really appreciate it! Thanks! laurensnellings@yahoo.com

  19. your girls are beautiful.

    i have 19 month old identical boys. it's absolutley amazing to be bombarded with their alikeness but then see differences pop up here and there, isn't it?

    everyone always asks how i tell mine apart, and i also say that it is their facial expressions.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Happy 5 months Nolia & Eliza! You two girls are so aborable and it's so much fun to be able to watch you grow into beautiful little girls!
