5 Months Old

We are 5 months old today. What a great month...two birthdays in one month! We had a very busy month with lots of family and friends visiting from Illinois and Wisconsin. We have no idea where those places are, but we heard it is cold there - yuck! We also had some new friends enter the world. Welcome again to Braden Rivero and Troy Hostetter. It seems as if something new and exciting is always happening around here. We are continuing to grow like weeds. Lily is in 3-6 month clothes and also fits into a few of her 6-9 month outfits. I am mainly in 6-9 month clothes, although like I've told you before, mom is refusing to get rid of some of my 3-6 month outfits. This month Lily and I both started standing for short periods with some help from mom and dad. We are both sitting up too, although after a while our tummies get tired and we just crash. All of this exercise is tough work if you ask us. We have both started talking a lot. Mom and dad keep saying that it sounds like we are having a conversation with them. Hello...we are, but for some reason they don't get it!?! We have also discovered that we can blow raspberries. It is quite messy, but A LOT of fun! Lily and I are still eating lots of rice cereal and oatmeal. We both prefer the oatmeal, but we aren't picky and will take whatever mom and dad put in our mouths. This month was also fun because we finally got to see our beloved Chicago Cubs and they won! Dad said today was a special day not only because it is our birthday, but it is also opening day for baseball. Hopefully we'll get excited about that someday too. We did discover that March is great due to a little event called March Madness! Basketball is so fun to watch, but our favorite team, Marquette, lost in overtime to Stanford. Hopefully they'll do better next year. Well, we hope all of you had as great of a March as we did. Stay tuned for more adventures as we continue on our journey called life!
