CEREAL!

Sammy loved his first taste of food! We couldn't feed him the cereal fast enough :)

Love how her mouth is open too

Straight to bath!

Big Boy!

Thomas is getting to be such a big boy! He loves to run, throw balls and laugh. He will soon be 15 months and it is hard to believe how fast the time has gone. He loves to eat (mostly bread!) and always wants whatever we are eating, even if it is on his plate. He has started to use a spoon and a fork to feed himself.

Thomas gets a kick out of fake sneezes and is always exaggerating his "sneeze". He says a few words but mostly communicates through grunting and pointing. So far he says: mommy, daddy, bye-bye, ball, uh-oh, cheese, please (which sounds like peas), milk (which sounds like mk) and his favorite word right now is weeee! He also calls himself bobby because we are always calling him buddy.

Needless to say it was off to the bath right away!

The Birthday CupCake

...

We found out that Aniela does not like
party hats but does like Aunt Erin!


Here are some pictures of her first birthday cake. She loved eating the icing and the wafers about as much as playing around with the cupcake.

Hope we got enough pictures!

Still doesn't want to wear the hat...

In awe of the singing

Tastes pretty good!

She was quite curious about her first biscuit





But decided to try it anyway





They make quite a mess but she loves it!
