Mable and Ruby, you are 5 months old!
You both are getting so big and doing new things everyday.
We love you both so very much!
Mable, you weigh 11 pounds 9 ounces. You may be small, but you are fierce! You have eyelashes for days! You still are very vocal. You love to jabber away. We love to sit and listen to you talk. It's so funny! You love to stand in our lap. You think you are so big when you are doing this. You are rolling over from your tummy to your back. You seem to be getting close to sitting up by yourself. You try and try, but are still falling face first.
You are still not really into eating. It is getting better though. We have you on 2 different reflux meds. You are also on some really fancy formula, Elacare. You eat what you want and then might eat more 30 mins. later. You want to be very independent! You try to hold your bottle, but have not mastered it yet. Getting close! You are still getting baby food, sometimes just once a day. Your favorites seem to be sweet potatoes and pears. You eat four times a day and have at least 4 ounces at each feeding. Your formula is very concentrated, so the 16 plus ounces you get a day is equivalent to you eating 24-25 ounces. You love your sister and smile when you see her.
Mable, we love you!

Ruby, we are not sure how much you weigh at the time, because you have not had to go to the Doctor. I am guessing you are 13-14 pounds. You are still loving your bottle. I know next month when we start you on baby food you are going to love it! You eat 4 times a day and have 6 1/2 ounces at two feedings and 5 1/2 at the other two. You are "talking" up a storm. Sometimes you squeal so loud it scares you. You are rolling over from front to back and back to front. I can walk out of the room for one second and you are across the room. You too are trying to sit up. I think you will have this down pretty soon. You also try to hold your bottle at times, but you are just as content having someone hold it for you. You just started reaching for me yesterday. It's really cute. Makes me just want to pick you up from whatever you are doing and kiss you to pieces. You love your sister and are always concerned with what she is doing.
Ruby, we love you!

The last 5 months have been amazing!

You both have filled Mommy and Daddy's heart with so much joy!

We thank God everyday for our little miracles!
