5 months

I have typed and erased 3 posts already. It's because life is pretty normal and boring around here and there's not much to say...but I consider that a huge blessing!

So just a quick update for posterity's sake:

Adam:

  • has slept through the night twice in a row

  • smiles a lot

  • loves musical toys

  • is a mama's boy who has to be held a lot

  • is just over 12 lbs and growing by the minute

  • loves baths and hates diaper changes
  • sucks his thumb and fingers

Rachel:

  • sleeps a lot (if I just had her I would never be tired)

  • is content and happy most of the day

  • loves to swing

  • only screams when we put her to bed at night for a few minutes

  • loves to be talked to

  • is just over 10 lbs (she grows long, not out)

  • is ignored more often than I would like because of her demanding brother

And now what really matters; Here are some pictures:

or not, because I have tried 5x to post them and it hasn't worked. The ones on the sidebar are going to have to be good enough.

Now I am happy! I have had trouble posting pics before. Keep at it - it will work sometime. I cna't wait to be able to talk to Rachel and laugh at Adam when he protests his diaper changes!

Darn computers. But glad to have an update. Your kids are sure cuties!

Isn't being a mom a wonderful yet very demanding job. I love it and love to hear updates about the kiddos. Perhaps one of these days we will make it to St. George or even Vegas. Would love to see them in person.

Are you still doing the Christmas letter?

Good thing we'll see them soon! Love the descriptions! And the pics on the side bar!

So sweet. I love to see how big they're getting and to hear about their differences. They are so cute and are making me very excited for my little girl to come. I'm so glad you're all doing well.

I can't believe how much they are changing. They are so adorable! You and Ryan are the cutest parents!
