5 Months!

Here we are at 5 months! I can't believe how fast this little girl is growing! Since my last blog we have been very busy. We had a visit from the Durbin family, we pierced Chloe's little ears, and we started eating cereal again! Chloe is also starting to roll herself over when she is on her tummy. She has done it twice so far. She still loves to stand...all the time, and she wants to be held a lot. She loves to watch Lane and she laughs at him when he makes funny faces. She is a very sweet little girl! Still no teeth, but maybe soon. Lane cut his first tooth at 5 months and 3 weeks, so it will be interesting to see when Chloe will. Chloe is still nursing... A LOT! She is a very good eater and I don't see it ending anytime soon. She is sleeping through the night, most of the time, but we do have the occasional middle of the night feeding. I don't think she really needs to eat, but it helps her to calm down and go back to sleep and we are usually only awake for 30 minutes or so. All in all, things are going very well on this side of the world. We hope that all our friends and family are well. Until next time...

Check-Up

Well, our little Chloe is growing fast! At her appointment she weighed 15 lbs and was 24.8 inches tall! She had 2 shots and one oral vaccine, that she handled very well. No fever this time after the shots, but she did sleep a lot that afternoon. The Dr said we could probably start taking her off the Zantac. So I have cut back on the dosage a little this past week. She seems to be handling that pretty well so far. We haven't tried food yet. I'm going to give her another week or so, and then see how she does. She has been acting like she would like to roll over. She gets all arched around and almost goes, but then flops back at the last second. She actually did roll over today, but I helped her a little. I just kept her from flopping back. She also likes to be carried all over the house. I think if I hauled her around all day while I was cooking, doing dishes or laundry or whatever, she would never make a sound...she loves it!



Lane seems to be growing too. While we were at the Dr office, he stepped on the digital scale in the hall way. He weighs 36 lbs and I think he is 39 1/2 inches tall. He has a birthday coming up soon, though and we will go see his Dr for his 4 year check up! I can't believe that he is almost 4! Where has the time gone?
Everyday is something new with him. He has started to tell little lies. Nothing big, so far, just answering no when the answer is yes, and things like that. He also comes up with new things to say almost daily. Everyday he waits for the other kids to go outside so he can "play with his friends." He sings along with the songs on the radio in the car. He likes to watch "tar-toons," which could be anything, as long as he likes it. Today we were at the mall and he couldn't wait to ride in the "eler-bator!" So funny! But he has decided that he's "not ready go school yet."

Take care y'all!
