Good Eats

So, the babies have been eating baby food about one month now. You both took to eating off the spoon like champs. So far you've had green beans, sweet potatoes, both acorn and butternut squash, pears, apples, and bananas.


I'm recording this now to show you all the delicious fruits and vegetables you eat when you say that you don't like something.

Breakfast with Santa and lots of Photos

We went to breakfast with Santa at the YMCA. I knew that we had to get up extra early because it started at 8 a.m. I showered at 5 a.m. and still it was not enough time to leave the house by 8. I'm always frustrated trying to leave the house because we are mostly not on time. I'm hoping this is a "I have small kids" phase and will pass once Camden, Grey, and Rylie are a bit older. Good news is, the day started out frustrating but it turned out great. We got there at 9 and they were able to go right up to Santa. Cailin and Rylie were able to deliver their Wish List to Santa. Cailin also got to ask Santa a very important question that she has been trying to figure out. She wanted to know how does Santa make it to everyone's home in one single night. Santa told her that it was magic and he was able to slow down time. She came away very satisfied with that answer. Thanks Santa!

The babies were able to take a photo with Santa and with Mrs. Claus.  

Then they had breakfast- pancakes, sausage, and orange juice.                                   

Then when we were leaving. We had a few moments to kill, so mini-photoshoot it is!                                  

  Then the karate chopping began.....                         

Followed by magic! I love these next set of photos!

My Baby Cakes are 5mos. Old

Camden- I love your squeal of delight when you are happy. I love your calm and serious demeanor. I can see that you are a thinker. We'll see if I'm right. You are such a laid back little baby! Though you hate to be put down sometimes. You found your thumb and you suck it. It's the cutest thing. You like my singing. I sing "Rockaby Baby" and "Pat-a-cake" and it gets you cooing. You have eaten sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and bananas. Though you get a little impatient that the spoon is not always full I think you really liked the bananas best. You are sleeping through the night (you did this starting at 4mos.)

Ha! You always have those arms stretched out like this!


 Grey- I love your laughs. You are tickled when I sing and talk to you. You are becoming more aware. You cry when we walk away from you. You kick when you see a bottle of milk. You love nursing and need to breastfeed to sleep. You suck on your thumb, though you don't do it consistently. You love your sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and bananas. I love your feistiness. You know what you want and don't have any problem letting us know. You still refuse to ride in your car seat if you're fully awake. You are determined to get your way. You cry and cry. I get your big sisters to give you a pacifier or hold you. 

 I want to hold on to you both and never let you get any bigger. We love you sweet boys.
