Hangin' with the Halos

Thursday, July 30, 2009

We rooted for our Angels this week against the Cleveland Indians. The Halos won 9-3. Whoohoo! Our favorite player, Howie Kendrick, had a home run and 5 RBI's! Logan was very excited. However, he is not terribly excited when everybody screams at the same time... that actually scares him a bit. Perfect weather for baseball especially with our seats in the shade, hanging out with Auntie Laura & Uncle Stephen.

The cutest little man in Angel Stadium!

My beautiful girls and big Angel fans!

My friend Andrew works at Angel Stadium, he hooked us up by coming to visit our seats with his wireless camera. Here's our little family on the JUMBOTRON!

The twins rocking their Angels gear (thanks to George & Tiffany) on the biggest screen in Orange County!

OK... big deal moment in a boys life, Logan and I visited the team store and bought his first Angels cap. The ladies in the team store even recognized him from his big screen debut!

All baseball'd out for the day, 9 innings can take it out of anybody.

Adventures in Food

Friday, July 24, 2009

The babies started eating "baby food" this month. It's kind of messy, but I think it's fun seeing the babies try new foods. I am making our baby food myself since it's cheaper and tastes better than commercial food. So far the baby food making has gone really well and it's pretty easy to do. (I'm using a blender, at the recommendation of chef Alton Brown). I've made peas, green beans, and sweet potatoes. I discovered that sweet potatoes are really tasty and that I've been missing out! For fruits, I'm just mashing them. They've tried bananas, avocados, peaches, nectarines, pluots, and applesauce. So far, Logan will eat ANYTHING. I think he's going to be our good eater. Charlotte is a bit more discretionary in her tastes. She ends up liking most things after a few tries, but still isn't crazy about green beans. (I guess she takes after her daddy). They've also tried puffs. They give us a "what the heck did you just put into my mouth" look! Since they're doing well with baby food, I'm hoping Logan and Charlotte be able to try Kevin's great cooking in a few months.

"I love peas! Daddy says they give me a green goatee."

"Grandma Grant got us these cool mesh feeders for chunks of food. I get upset and cry when mine runs out of juice."

We love our Fisher Price Space Saver high chairs!

6 Months Old

Friday, July 3, 2009

I can't believe Logan and Charlotte are 6 months old! While the days go by slow, the weeks and months have flown by! We celebrated their 1/2 birthday with cupcakes. The babies even got to try some frosting!


Updates for this month:

-Logan weighs 15.25 lbs.
-Charlotte weighs 14.5 pounds.
-They are about the same length and they still have big heads.
-The babies tried rice cereal at 5.5 months. They like it. They have one meal of cereal daily. We will likely start fruits and veggies soon.
-Logan and Charlotte are now sleeping in their cribs. They are sleeping separately since they seemed to be waking each other up when they were together.
-We're experiencing some regression in sleeping through the night and napping. :-(
-We stopped swaddling the babies. They seem to be adjusting.
-Both babies can now roll both from tummy to back and from back to tummy.
-Kevin discovered that they like to be held upside down.

The Baby Pool

The babies tried their little pool for the first time this week. They enjoyed it. The water was so nice and warm that I think I'll end up in the pool with them next time!
