Alex and Olivia are getting so big!!!

The other day I was starting to realize how big Alex and Olivia are getting - - especially Alex. We were looking at pictures from when they were born and it is so hard to believe that they were ever as small as they once were.

I specifically noticed how big Alex had gotten when a couple of weeks ago we put him in the swing which he had not been in at last during the last couple of months. He was really tired from day care and was too worked up to go to sleep so we put him in the swing to calm him down. That is when I realized how much he has grown.

Check out the pictures for the comparison.....it is not the same swing (which would have been the perfect comparison) but you will get the point.

Here is Alex a few days shy of a month old (look at all that dark hair!!!).....

And here he is just a few days shy of 5 months old - - look how big he is!!!

Olivia is getting big too, but she is still our little peanut. And as I always tell Ben, if one of our children were to be a peanut, I would rather it be her than Alex. Even when they were only a half a pound apart in weight, she still seemed so much lighter - - - picking her up is like picking up a feather!!!

Here are some recent pictures that we took of Alex and Olivia on their bellies. Olivia loves being on her belly, Alex is more open to the idea, but is still not a huge fan. Olivia can last a long time on her belly while 5 minutes is enough for Alex.
