We are 5 months old!

The babies turned 5 months old on Friday.  It feels like we have had them for so much longer than five months. Life is still crazy and chaotic but we do have a pretty decent schedule.  Reid got his doc band on Thursday.  He doesn't love it but he is tolerating it okay.  His head is really flat on the back right side from his tortacollis (tight neck muscles) which caused him to constantly look to his right.  Physical therapy helped the tortacollis but not enough that his head would round out without assistance.  He are having it wrapped next Friday (March 15) which is basically like having it painted.  We are going this Friday to choose a template.  I hope they have an Aggie theme!

Kellen weighs 13lbs, 6oz.  Reid weighs 12lbs, 6oz.  Annabelle weighs 14lbs, 6oz.  Two pounds is a big difference when it is 15% of your body weight because Annabelle seems HUGE compared to Reid.  All 3 wear 0-3 month clothing.  Annabelle is in size 2 diapers and the boys are in size 1.  All 3 are good night sleepers but Reid and Annabelle have been waking up the past 3 nights.  Reid because of his helmet and I'm not sure about Annabelle.  Luckily they go back to sleep fairly quickly and we usually don't have to go in their room at all.  Kellen is the best night sleeper and Annabelle is the best napper.  All 3 go to sleep without a problem which is a huge blessing.  We just lay them down and they go to sleep.  Reid is still the most expressive with his face and his smile lights up his whole face.  Kellen is the most stingy with smiles so getting one from him feels extra special!  All 3 smile when you peek over their cribs and are about to get them out. It's one of my favorite parts of the day!  No matter how bad it's going, and trust me, it does get bad, their little smiles melt my heart every time.  Annabelle is the loudest by far and doesn't have a middle ground.  She is either quiet and calm or a total nut.

Reid has a few nicknames....Smalls and Reiders are the most frequently used.
Annabelle is called Annabelle-belle, Girl Baby (so original) and Cheeks.
Kellen doesn't really have any nicknames yet other than Kel.  I'm sure he will eventually.

Kellen has been rolling over for a little over a week now.  He will only go from stomach to back but he tries so hard to go from back to stomach.  He'll get it soon enough.  Annabelle has rolled over once from stomach to back.  Poor Reid hates tummy time so he usually just lays his little head down and cries.  He has no clue that he could even attempt to roll over.

Their favorite book is Brown Bear, Brown Bear and they become entranced when I read it, which is at least 3x a day. :)

Barrett is a great big brother and he has fun with the babies.  He entertains them by singing and dancing and making "gas" sounds on his arm which he finds hysterical and swears the babies love it. LOL  It's hard to believe he is 5 years old and will start kinder in the fall.  He is playing soccer and baseball again this season.  He makes me laugh every day and has such a great imagination.  I love him so much.
