5 months old

The Becklets turned 5 months old on the 9th (3 months old adjusted). We had our 4 month pedi appointment yesterday so I have some stats to share...

Daniel weighs 14lb 15oz and is 25.5" long. He is in the 23rd percentile for weight. Daniel has already taken on the roll of the protective big brother and loves his sisters. He will not take his eyes off of them and is always reaching out to touch them when they are playing together on the floor. He is having a little trouble staying asleep at night and wakes up a few times - once to eat and a couple of times to be rocked by Mommy or Daddy. I guess this is his alone time with us. He is so happy each morning and smiles the biggest smiles - makes for some great mornings! His days are very busy. He loves being active so he splits his time between the jumparoo, the floor mats, the exersaucer, the swing and the floor. And, very exciting news....this morning, Daniel rolled over from his belly to his back! Well, really from his belly to on top of Kate, but if she hadn't been there, he would have landed on his back. I had just finished saying to Kevin that I thought Kate was going to be the first to roll over because she is trying so hard and sure enough within 30 seconds after me saying that, Daniel rolled over. A little competitive already???

Anna has caught up to Kate and surprisingly they weigh exactly the same at 13lb 4oz which puts them in the 17th percentile. Anna is 24.25" long and Kate is 24.5". The girls love to laugh and their belly laughs are absolutely adorable. They LOVE Daddy - anything about him - when he walks in the room, his voice, dancing with him, falling asleep on his chest. It is amazing to watch them with Kevin and they definitely have him wrapped around their little fingers already. There are times when he can't feed them their bottles because all they want to do is smile at him and laugh - too cute! They still seem to be about 2 weeks behind Daniel developmentally so they are still working strengthening their legs and eating their cereal. I hate to admit this, but, they also love watching TV, especially Good Morning America and anything on Noggin. They are already limited to the amount of time they can watch. They also enjoy the floor mats, the swings, exersaucer and jumparoo, although their attention span is much shorter than Daniel's. They sleep very well at night, only getting up once to eat, but their naps are not so good yet so we have a lot of girl time during the day while Daniel is still napping.
