Paige is playing with toys and smiling at E - making her a lot more fun for her older sister. E made a "tent" for her by draping blankets over her gymenia and P took a nap in her tent. D went into the living room and saw a little hand clutching the blanket and two little eyes peeking out from the tent.

Both kids are getting huge. Paige was 14.5 at her 4 mo appt and is probably over 15 lbs now. E is almost 37" tall and must weigh about 35 lbs. At 5 months, P is just starting to sit up on her own. She hasn't tried any solid foods yet but she's ready. She's had a monster cold for almost 2 weeks so we'll wait till it's gone to let her try out some rice cereal.

E continues to expand her vocabular and speaking skills. It's a blast to hear what she'll say next. This morning it was "We need to get a present for Xander so he won't cry" (for his bday party this weekend). And "I'm a good friend to Xander". She woke up early this morning saying, "I need a fresh diaper".
