Pretty Special!

I picked the kids up yesterday (October 28th) and was told my daughter is pretty special. I knew this already but was curious what she had done to impress her 3 teachers- Miss Mary told me that Sydney said dada and mama and that it is rare that a little one says both. Her teachers think she could be speaking in sentences soon- haha. Of course all evening Tom and I kept trying to get her to repeat it without luck :(

Pumpkin Patch

Aunt Janessa and Josh visited us October 24th and we decided to take the kiddos to Appleworks apple orchard and pumpkin patch. It was a perfect day and hopefully we can do this every year!

Ready for fun!

Sam is not sure about feeding the animals in the petting zoo.

Sydney isn't shy- she stuck her hands right in the cage

Look how big!!

Is daddy sharing or teasing with that caramel apple?

6 months old

It's hard to believe Sam & Sydney are 6 months old already!
They are starting solid foods- so far just peas and bananas. Sam likes to sit up straight and bounce in his jumperoo. Sydney is rolling all over the place and always has a story to tell. They both are still great sleepers and are working on increasing their daily totals of formula- still under 30oz/day. Daddy's goal is to see them at 5 percentile by the next doctor's appointment (Sam was 1% and Sydney was 4% at the last one).

Pretty Peas!

At Sam & Sydney's 5&1/2 month check-up the doctor said they may now start solid foods. Our first attempt was peas.

Super Sam

Recently I had to travel for work so Grandma Lu and Aunt Janessa came to help out for 2 weeks. One of Sam's favorite things was to "fly" with Aunt Janessa.

Super Sam!
