Apples!!

Today I fed the boys gala apples that I pureed and froze the other day.  They really loved the apples (hey, I liked them too.....I almost ate THEIR food!).  Anyways, I was talking to Landon, asking him if he liked the apples (like I was really going to get a response back from him), and each time I said the word "apples' he started cracking up!  I don't know what it was about the word, but he thought it was hilarious!  Tristan on the other hand, didn't seem phased by it at all.  He was looking at me like "get that camera out of my face." 

It's funny to see how they both have mine AND Troy's personality in them.  The happy part is me, and the attitude is definitely Troy.  I love seeing them grow and change every day.  On one hand, I'm happy to see them healthy, growing, and happy.  On the other hand, I'm sad to see them grow because it's happening too fast!

Anyways, check out the video.  It may get a bit annoying hearing me say "apples" all the time, but that's what really got Landon going!  That silly boy!

Sweet......Potatoes that is!


Don't judge me!  Yes, the boys are one week shy of 5 months old and I gave them sweet potatoes today!  Guess what.....they LOVED them!  They were definitely ready for them.  Most people start their babies on solids at 6 months.  Well, I'm not most people!  You have to go by their cues/signs, not necessarily by the calendar.  The calendar isn't always right!  My boys were eating every 2 - 2 1/2 hours.  They weren't getting full off their formula.  This has been going on for the past couple of weeks, so I know it's not just a growth spurt.  I decided that since they can hold their head up, they were making chewing motions, were never full off formula, and they no longer have the tongue thrust reflex, that maybe we could try solids.
