Thomas 5 month, Shiloh 19 month Photoshoot!

What a gift these two are to me!  It is crazy to think how it has already been 5.5 months since Thomas was born!  Time really does go so much faster the second go around!  Today we had such an amazing day with the two of them, which is so nice, since we have had a tough couple of weeks between Thomas breaking 2 more teeth through (making 4 through already!!), and Shiloh being crazy sick with hand, month and foot disease.  But, coming out of this these past couple of days she has been cuddling with me again and really wanting to spend time with me, which had been a little hard to come by before as she simply wanted Josh all the time.  I mean, I completely understand as I have divided attention with her now and with Josh she gets more undivided attention.  But, I sure have missed her sweet self wanting to be around me!  ;)  So, as Thomas passed his 5 month milestone he continues to grab everything and put it into his mouth, including sisters hair! He loves being tickled under his chin, which is just the cutest, as well as getting a thrill from chewing on water bottles, and his sweet little toes.  He is scootching around on his tummy little crazy and getting his knees up under him better each day, so I think we may have a true crawler soon!  We have tried some infant cereal with him, but he is not too keen on anything but breastmilk yet.  :) As for Shiloh, man she is really becoming a tiny, independent human!  It is crazy how much she is starting to grasp, learn and reciprocate.  She talks up a storm now, loves mimicking facial expressions, which can just be the cutest thing you have ever seen, and loves to tell us all about going pee pee and poop!  Ha!  We are hoping this means that potty training in the future will come easier, but I don't have my hopes set on it! ;)   She LOVES bubbles and coloring in the bath as well as coloring on her dry erase board.  She is also super into crazy interactive play, like being spun around, or riding on our backs or jumping and singing and dancing with us.  This stage really is simply the best!  (Except for the tantrum days.. haha!) But she is just sweet as can be and we love her for it!  SO glad she is starting to heal from all her soars and play like her normal self again.  Here are some of my faves from this monthly session!

Much love to all of you for following along with me!
