How is it possible that our babies are 5-months old?! It's like we blinked and the hospital and first few months were just a blur. I have to admit, I've fallen completely and utterly in love with our girls and their individual personalities that are slowly emerging. They are so entertaining on a day-to-day basis - frustrating at times, but always entertaining. To sum up - I am a huge fan of 5 months!
Ryann started 'talking' (cooing, etc.) yesterday and today she told us so many stories. It's funny, she's been laughing for well over a month now, but while Hadley and Brynley would 'talk' to us, she would grunt, but not really every 'talk'. Then yesterday, bam, she found her voice! On the other hand, Hadley and Brynley have been 'talking' for a couple months now, but still only giggle every once in awhile. They're both on the verge of the full-out belly laugh and we can't wait! Tonight during their bedtime bottle all three of the girls were 'talking' to us - I have a feeling things are going to be getting even crazier as they continue to develop. The girls are all starting to roll (front to back only) on a more regular basis - this scares me as I don't even want to think about when they're fully mobile.
Hadley absolutely LOVES to sit up, it's really quite amusing. We'll prop her up on the couch and she'll stay there for 30+ minutes, just looking around checking things out. She's the serious one of the bunch, our observer. Her sly smile just lights up her face.

Like her daddy - already ready for some football! so happy and ready for her bedtime bottle! |
 |
So serious... she studies things before grinning! |
Brynley has a quick smile and is too curious for her own good. Anything and everything attracts that girls attention - but it's hard to get mad, her smile is infectious! She still LOVES her fish swing! The girl could sit in it all day and be happy as a clam. I swear she's given the evil eye to her sisters when they have a turn in "her" swing. We're thinking she might be the most laid back of them all. Despite all her energy she is really pretty content most of the time and can entertain herself for hours (last night she sang herself back to sleep).

Ready for our walk - she just smiles when we put her in her carseat |

Fascinated by the Softball College World Series - she watched and watched... |
Ryann smiles and laughs most of the day. However, we've recently learned she has a TEMPER! This really doesn't come as too much of a shock for those who had to change/feed her in the middle of the night when all she wanted to do was eat and go back to sleep (boy was she loud). Now she's fine about the diaper changes and whatnot, instead she loses her temper when she can't get a toy to or into her mouth. Honestly, I find it quite amusing - I doubt she appreciates my amusement.
At any rate - the pictures don't do these kiddos justice... they're getting to be so much fun and we are excited to share them with more visitors this summer!

In the jumparoo - she had a staring contest with the from... What can we say, the girl loves frogs. |
Some additional pictures of the girls...

They're BOTH smiling! Hard to catch that on camera, gotta be quick and Grandma was! |
 |
Hadley and Brynley love reaching out and touching Ryann... Ryann, not so enthused. |

Ryann listening intently as well |

Both Brynley and Hadley were watching the softball games |

Story time with Mom - it must have been one funny story! |
They are getting so big! How fun that their personalities are showing. Such a beautiful family!
