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. 

Just Stuff

And now that I have edited and posted several videos and added a bunch of pictures, I guess I should call it a night.....or a morning?  The boys will be waking up in a few hours.  If I actually took my butt to bed when they went to sleep, I would get anywhere from 8-10 hours of sleep each night.  But I don't.  I use that time to do the things I wasn't able to finish during the day.  In addition to that, Troy and I started our own business, so that has consumed a lot of my time too!

If all else fails, at least I can count on my afternoon nap!  Yes, I have the boys on a schedule.  They usually wake up between 8-9 a.m.  They get a diaper change and eat.  Then we play, read books, sing songs, have tummy time, or sometimes go for a walk and around noon, it's time for them to eat again.  After this feeding and diaper change, it's off to la-la land.....and it's nap time for 2-3 hours.  They're up again to eat and play around 3 or 3:30.  We do more activities after they eat, then they fall asleep around 5:30ish.  Then they usually sleep for another 2-3 hours then get up, eat, get a diaper change,  get changed into their pajamas (they get a shower at this time every couple of nights) then off to bed by 10ish or 11.  Yes, my boys go to bed late.  I do this on purpose.  Why do you ask?  Well, their daddy doesn't get home until around 7:30.  He works 10:30 a.m. - 7 p.m.  If the boys were to go to bed by 7 or 8 p.m., he would never get to spend time with them!  And you see what he was doing in one of the videos.....he was getting Landon to laugh for the first time.

Ok, now it's really time for bed!

Tristan Talks....and screams!

It seems like every time I take video of Tristan, he's crying.  Looking back at the video, I know why he was crying!  Each time I recorded him it was right before he was about to eat.....which is why he has his hands in his mouth in almost every video.  That's what he does when he's hungry...he starts eating his hands, then will move onto crying.  So here is yet another video where he starts to cry!  This was on April 15th.

Landon Laughs!

This is the FIRST time we have heard Landon Laughing.  He will coo all the time and make all sorts of noises, but never has he laughed!  This was too cute!  This video was taken on April 24th.

The Boys Talk to Each Other

People always ask me if the boys talk to each other.  And the answer to that question would be a big fat YES!!  We were able to catch them briefly on camera talking to each other.  This was from April 21st, 2013.

Landon and the Jumper - PART 2

And here's part 2 of yet another boring video!  I actually love watching the videos....but I guess that's because they are my boys and I love everything about them!
