Firsts

The Peas experienced a few "firsts" recently:


Their first time sitting in the Bumbo seats! I love how the seats match their PJ's! I don't think there is a pair of pajamas in Carter's that these babies don't have thanks to Cousin Betty! These are my favorite so far. Who do you think cried to get out of the seat first?

They had their first visit from the UBC Carolers! This was so exciting! Our children's choir sings Christmas carols in the community every year and they honored us with a special visit to sing to Evan and Ryan. We brought the boys to the window and we all sang Christmas carols. It was such a blessing! I'm glad that the picture came out a little blurry because I wanted to post it on the blog, but I didn't want to have the kids' faces showing, especially without their parents' permission. Thank you Dan, Sharon, June, & Betty (and any other parents I missed) for bringing the kids by. Thank you kiddos for singing to us; you sounded great and looked so cute!

Dr. K said that we could introduce fruits and veggies to the Peas, so they had their first taste of fruit--peaches! I thought they would like them, but I tasted them first and they weren't all that tasty:( Evan, actually tolerated them, though. I decided to start with fruits because I am going to make their veggies myself. Me...make my own baby food??!! I've been researching and it sounds pretty easy. I figure this way I know and control exactly which ingredients the boys eat.

Ryan wasn't too sure what to think about his first taste of peaches! I finally got smart and bought vinyl bibs for when they eat solids! "Are these Georgia peaches, Daddy? Next time, try Georgia peaches! Thanks in advance." :)

And finally, the peas weren't feeling so hot after having their 6 months vaccinations. Plus, they got a flu shot. I hate to hear my babies cry in pain! I know it's for their own protection though. Evan had his first fever on Thursday. The poor guy was fussy and not feeling well. A few doses of Tylenol and our boy was back to his bright-eyed and sweet self. Ryan didn't have a reaction at all.


There is no picture of this, but the Peas had their first snow storm last night! I'm from Cleveland so I grew up with snow as a little girl. I remember all the fun I had playing in the snow and pretty soon the boys will be able to do the same.
