Mason
Mason is rolling all over the place - from one end of the room to the other. He is also most definitely hunting rabbits in his sleep. He starts the evening on his back in one, nice, comfy, safe spot in his crib and once or twice a night (though less often now) he will get himself into quite the predicament which requires daddy to go in and help him because he is on his tummy and has gotten his head jammed into one corner of the crib or another. He is also scooting across the floor. He can no longer be trusted! If you leave the room for a minute - you might be surprised to find that he is not where you left him! He is also making great progress on being able to sit up unassisted, but has a ways to go as this is something we just started to work on fairly recently. Mason has discovered the joy of blowing raspberries with his spit and is making the most of this new sound. He also has discovered that he has quite the set of lungs and he is not afraid to use them. If food is not presented in a timely manner, he will LET YOU KNOW!!!
Ethan
Ethan apparently thinks rolling is just a waste of time and is trying to scoot across the floor on his tummy instead. He is also sticking his butt in the air when he does this in an attempt to actually crawl, though that will be a while (I hope anyway!). He is also working on his unassisted sitting. He's an overachiever and doing sit-ups in his bouncy seat to try to strengthen his abdominals. I am told he rolled over 2 times, though this was witnessed by other family members. And I am fairly certain both times were just an attempt to get a better view of the television. He is our TV junkie. If it's colorful and has music - he's all about it. No TV for children under 2? Yeah right. Tell him that. He'll get started on the signs to protest. His favorites: Backyardigans and Wonder Pets. But we give him a break on this because poor guy has to wait 30 minutes every morning and every evening before he's allowed to eat because of his medicine. So while he is starving he gets to watch some TV. We think it's only fair. He has also discovered the joy of blowing raspberries. So much so, in fact, that he went to bed a full hour later last night...because he was blowing raspberries...for an hour straight. Oh yeah, it's that fun.
I can't believe how big your boys are getting! 5 months! Amazing! I think that you are going to have an early crawler on your hands! Love the pics and their outfits!
