The Anderson Family: April 2013

The boys are really growing and becoming more independent each and everyday. We have had a busy month as they're starting to be on the move.... God help me :)

Both boys roll over and roll all over the place. Colton has been rolling around awhile now but Henry has now followed. I will put them down, leave the room, and come back to find them 3 feet away from where I left them. Baby proofing the house is now on the agenda! They both are loving to stand as well, Henry has been all about standing for sometime now but Colton just recently started. You can prop them up against objects and they can hold themselves up. They love to be upright as much as possible, weather it's sitting, standing or jumping in their favorite the Jumperoo. It's funny how they're each reaching milestones but different ones at different time. They each are their own person and they show it in every way possible.

They're loving their food these days, they eat bananas, green beans, apples, peas, sweet potatoes, pears, peaches, carrots, squash & prunes. Both are great eaters but Henry truly is a champ.... if you haven't noticed by the size of his waistline or the chunks on his upper legs. They both eat about the same amount of food but wear it differently as Henry is 3lbs heavier but looks much more.

They continue to sleep well, 7:30ish till 7, which is great for both Mom and Dad. They nap somedays, maybe an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon, but I won't complain as I would prefer to have them sleep at night versus the day.

Henry got not one but two bottom teeth this month. I'd noticed he was really drooling and he seemed a little more fussy them normal, sure enough he showed a great big smile one day and a pearly white was coming through. Within a day or so the other tooth came through. He is ready for steak and potatoes;)

Colton continues to recover great from his surgery. His head has healed amazingly and his hair has really started to fill in so his scar in not nearly as visible.

The few days of nice weather we've had this Spring (really still winter) we have gone for some walks. Finally they are to the point where they can sit up in the stroller and not need to be in their carriers. This is so exciting for me as I can quickly load them in and go. They love going for walks, they are completely silent as they look around and take in the world outside our house walls. Needless to say this has been a long winter for us.

We are excited for Spring to REALLY arrive and we can't wait to get them out in the new boat. They are really starting to get fun and life is becoming easier as they are becoming more independent.

Here are some fun shots from their 5th month of life...
