5 Months Old!


Little Allie Jane has made it another month riding on this crazy train! We blinked and she got bigger! She has been really fun this last month. She always has the biggest smile and now she has the greatest laugh. She thinks we are all so funny. She even thinks Kaden and Maddie are much funnier than I would if had them right in my face all the time.

A month ago she was barely rolling over and now she is a pro at going from her back to her tummy. She goes back to her back as well, but not with as much frequency or ease. Sometimes, though, you leave her alone for a minute and she has rolled halfway across the room! We are going to have to keep on eye on her very soon. She has also discovered how to press her lips together and vibrate them, making a spitting noise. These days she thinks that is about the funniest and most entertaining thing she can do. She now also has the cutest little chubby legs and has a definite double chin along with her Grandpa's cheeks.

We could not live without this sweet little girl. The other kids we could take or leave at this point, but sweet little Allie girl we will keep!

Sleeping buddies...


Maddie has decided lately that she is lonely at night and always wants someone to lay with her at bedtime. One night, when both of her parents were too exhausted to go back upstairs one more time, we encouraged her to get in bed with her brother. So now, this is what she does
almost every night. Ironically, they both seem to fall asleep faster while sharing one bed. It is such a blessing to see these two as each other's best friends every day. They fight hard and they play hard, but at the end of the day, this is where they want to be the most...


And speaking of best friends...here are a few more recent pics from around our house....
