Birthday party & meeting the cousins!

Last weekend, our Nephew Oliver celebrated his birthday.  The girls got dressed up in their party clothes to celebrate with the family. 

Above is Oliver, who would NOT smile for anything!

Due to some previous illnesses, This was also the first time that they had met their cousins Greta & Amelia.  Greta & Amelia are Terry's sister's (Gretchen) twins that are three.  The twins were excited to meet Addison & Alexis.  They will make great Mommy's some day.  They were very helpful with the girls.

Ga Ga & Pop Pop (aka Terry's parents) are always a big help to us with the girls.  Addison loves her Pop and always listens to him so intently.  Alexis seems to favor Ga Ga more.  See below pics.

Above is Ga Ga (Linda) with Alexis.  I just love the look on Alexis's face for some reason.

Both of are girls are now officially baby food eaters!  Last Saturday we started the girls with some green beans.  Neither girl really minded them, which is great!  They both made a strange face with the first couple of bites, but then they went to town.  They are now eating like this...

8:00AM---6 oz bottle

12:00PM---lunch  green beans and 6 oz bottle

4:00PM---6 oz bottle

8:00PM---rice cereal and a 6 oz bottle

This Saturday we will try the girls with some peas.  Our pediatrician advised that we keep them on the same vegetable for a week before introducing anything new.  This way we can make sure that their tummys can handle the food as well as that their are not allergy issues.  Below is a picture of Alexis with her green bean face.  For some reason I can never capture Addison with a messy face.  She is such a great eater. She's so delicate about eating and doesn't usually get that messy.

STAY TUNED IN THE NEXT FOLLOWING DAYS FOR THE BIG REVEAL OF THE GIRLS HALLOWEEN COSTUMES!  I HOPE TO POST PICTURES TOMORROW BUT I CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT WILL ACTUALLY HAPPEN!!
