A Few Firsts at Five Months

We have now entered the 5th month and I have a few 'firsts' to report.

1. Mark does daddy-duty all alone for a weekend!
I took one night away this past weekend to spend some time with my friends Eve and Lara. Mark, on the other hand, got to spend some quality time with the boys. He did great! A little more tired than usual, but all-in-all, he survived. I'm on duty next weekend while Mark goes on a weekender with his guy friends. Payback!

2. Jeremy tests out the exersaucer. See for yourself:

3. Nathan and Jeremy test out 'solid' foods.
Okay, so it's not exactly solid, but we tested out the boys with rice cereal. Let's just say, one of the boys took to it better than the other. See for yourself:

4 month appointment

A mere 3 days before the boys are 5 months old, but we managed to get them in today for their 4 month appointment.

The doc thought they both looked great and they handled their shots like champs (3 shots!)

Nathan weighed in at a whooping 10lb 7oz. The doc wasn't super concerned, but would definitely prefer that he put on weight faster. This month has a few variables that might have affected his weigh in. We switched his formula which caused some stress and we started daycare.

Giant Jeremy weighed in at 14lb 7oz. This weight puts him at the 35% for weight which is great considering he is a twin!

Here are a few photos taken last weekend while we were in Steamboat. They are so smiley and cute these days!!!
