5 months old-week 3

This week the boys continued making their way through the vegetables. They have now had green beans, peas, squash, carrots and sweet potatoes.  The new fruit this week was applesauce. Both Andy and Alex really like the squash and sweet potatoes. As for fruits they seem to like bananas and applesauce the best. When feeding then they both have their moments where you just can't feed them fast enough. But when they take there time to eat and enjoy it Andrew will now take a bite and say "Mmmmmm" Its so cute. I tried to catch it on video and he stops doing it and starts fussing. This week we have started every morning with oatmeal and fruit mixed in, 1/2-a whole jar a piece of a vegetable for lunch and 1/2 jar a piece of a vegetable at dinner. I have noticed that the boys are not sleeping as well through the night like they used to and I'm wondering if it is since they used to get rice cereal at night before bed and not baby food. So this coming week I may go back to rice cereal at night and maybe mix the food in with it.


This week the boys have played in their toys and on the floor more. Alex loves to stand up so Tim had him standing on the floor next to the exerciser next to Andy and he stayed standing when Tim let go! They are starting to hold toys and bring them to their mouth. They now put everything they can get their hands on in their mouth.

Andy was able to get the ring on his wrist but couldn't get it off!

On Thursday Andrew went to see the urologist. He now weighs enough that we can schedule his surgery for the hypospadias. Dr Mata says that it is very common and that is his very mild. His surgery will be an outpatient procedure. I will keep everyone posted on when it is scheduled.

Uncle Ben and Aunt Mer came to visit us this Saturday! We went out to lunch and went grocery shopping. The rest of the day we hung out at home. The boys were great for most of the day but Sat night they were pretty fussy. We were able to get one good photo of all of them.

Today Andy was taking a nap in his bed and all of a sudden started screaming...I ran in because it sounded like something had scared him. Sure enough it had! He rolled over for the first time from his tummy to his back and he didn't know what to do!

He finally rolled over!

This is him happy after I git excited and he saw that it was good thing!

This week is the last week for a while that they will be staying with Aunt Shirlee and Uncle Lyle. Thursday I was laid off from work so I am going to stay home for a while and keep them. Starting Monday we are going to work on getting into a routine. I'm not sure how well it will work but we are going to try!
