It's fascinating to watch the differences between my kids even at this young age. While Tate and Finn are vastly different, they were both very interested in moving their bodies and took such pride in being able to move in whatever way they had recently figured out to move as much as they possibly could. Taryn and Kenna are also very different from each other but in general they're much more content to just be. They know how to roll from their tummies and their backs but just because they know how doesn't necessarily mean that they need to be doing it all the time. They're content to look around, talk to each other, grab at the occasional toy and just be pleasant, happy little babies. Taryn is getting more wiggly than Kenna. She likes to roll around a bit more and bounce in her little bouncy chair while Kenna would be content to just watch her and smile. They are delightful. This week they've both started to show their enthusiasm when we get close or when they see new toys in front of their faces. They flap their arms and kick their legs and their eyes get big and focused. It's so stinking cute. They love music and smile the sweetest smiles when anyone sings to them. Unless their mad, then singing makes them madder. They both have the easiest smiles for anyone who makes eye contact with them and their little giggles get more frequent every day.
This week they've been waking up and fussing a bit less at night. Usually one or both of them will fuss a bit around 4 or 5 but only for a few minutes. Usually it wakes me up and I have a hard time going back to sleep, but they can sleep in until at least 6 or if we're really lucky 7 now that school is out. This is our first week of summer and it's been SO nice not to have a race in the morning to get everyone up and ready quickly.
Taryn and Kenna turned 5 months old this week. 5 months. I cannot believe how fast it's gone. I can't believe that they've been in our family for 5 months. We just adore them.
