The new milestones of babies and mummy at 5 months

   Recently, Iola has developed the skill of talking real loud. Today, at FHE, he spoke quite loudly to his cousins.  I thought he was scared but he looked like he was talking to them. It was a sight to see. Of course Jordan wasn't there because he was at work but when I told him he was sorry to have missed  it and has  been trying to get Iola to talk loudly but to no avail...alas.
   Because they are five months they see things a lot more clearly which is a good thing but a bad thing for a mummy who is trying to sneak off to change the laundry  load, or trying to put down the baby in his crib to sleep.<oh darn it> For example, Today I tried to be super mummy and boil the bottles while both boys where awake...hahaha I succeeded but only because I have trained myself to not panic over two fussy babies because heaven knows that these two were angry at me for not paying more attention to them. Every once in a while I would show my face to them while Iola was  in the bouncy chair and Ikaika was  in the swing...they would smile but as soon as I walk away they would start to fuss again. Boiling the bottles took longer than the normal time it would have taken if they were asleep.I also tried to get in a laundry load. I had to throw them in the dryer to dry instead of hanging them on the clothes line. Ikaika wasn't going to put up with the cleaning nonsense. So by that point the boys were restless and was more or less angry with mummy. Imagine carrying a baby and smiling at him and smiling at your other baby who is still in the bouncer(reassuring him) and  trying to hold a cough in (oh, forgot to mention I'm sick) as to not scare the baby in the bouncer or wake up the almost-sleeping-baby in your arms. I bet if I was looking at myself I'd probably have to laugh or probably cry? hmmm no I think I'd have to laugh.
     Speaking of laughter--the boys laugh on demand now. What a joyous sound to hear. Whenever I speak to them they laugh(probably laughing at the crazy, funny-looking lady) Ha!

    Here is a video of uncle Jalen making Ikaika laugh.
