What a Weekend!!

What a busy weekend!! Mommy used to be our only July birthday. For 16 years. Then everyone decided that July was a good month to have a birthday. So I had my first 3 birthday parties this weekend!!

Brandi had her party at Daniel's Park on Friday. It was a lot of fun, but no one would share their ice cream (or pizza and wings, for that matter!!) with me.... Bummer!! They looked pretty tasty. I did get to watch Shaun juggle - wow!! He's pretty talented. And I told Baby Matthew that he needed to come out and meet us (which he finally did this morning!!!).

Then on Saturday, we had Honey's birthday party. She had a lot of fun. She got to dress up like a princess and everything. But before she turned into a princess, we were twins for the day!! She was trying to give me a smooch, but man those straps on her dress were looking tasty!! I had already attacked mine earlier.... Not too bad. Could use some chocolate though. Or maybe just some peaches or pears...

Then on Sunday, it was Mommy's birthday (but, shhh!!! Don't tell anyone!!). We went to Nana and Papa's for ice cream. Well, I got formula, everyone else got ice cream. I got to spend lots of time with Grandma, too. She got to see how I love to stand up all the time. No more laying down for me!!

It was an exhausting weekend. All I wanted to do Monday was sleep.

My First Trip to Progressive Field

Katie made it to her first Indians' game on Saturday night. It was a family outing. Nana, Papa, Aunt Court, Uncle Jason, Aiden, Aunt Shan, Uncle Shane and Mikayla all came with us!! It was Mikayla's first game, too!! Aiden's an old pro - he went to FOUR games last year!! Lucky kid... But Mikayla and Katie got certificates for their first trip to Progressive Field (still hard for Mommy not to call it the Jake....).

There were fireworks after the game, but we didn't stay for the fireworks. We did get to watch a great game, though. The Indians won!! Their third win in a row. Both Grady and Ryan Garko hit homeruns!! Maybe the second half of the year will be better for them.

Mommy and Daddy had to miss the first few innings because it was too hot in our seats, but Nana and Papa took their place for a little while - and I took a little nap on Nana. :)

We had a lot of fun, but I can't wait until next year when I can get some of that ice cream Mommy and Daddy were eating - it sure looked good!! It dripped on the back of my shirt - too bad it was the back, I might have been able to suck it out if it had been on the front. Maybe next time.....

Must Have Food!!

Katie has discovered that food is good. Very good. She loves her veggies - carrots, sweet potatoes, squash and green beans so far - Mommy's holding off on the peas just a little bit longer..... :)


"First I need my bottle - I think I can handle this one, Dad."

"Now Mommy, just keep it comin'!!"

"Oh yeah, now that's what I call a meal!!"




And here's Katie's first taste of carrots.
