Twins are nine months old soon

Teething baby: first sign of the lower right i...

Image via Wikipedia In a few days time Alexander and Aristea are going to be nine months old! It’s amazing how quickly time has passed, but it’s great to see how they’re growing. They can stand on their own now, pulling themselves up every opportunity they get. They’re getting better at eating and playing with…

Alexander and Aristea eating pizza

Here’s a cute little video I took on my phone and uploaded to YouTube It’s great to see the babies play with their food. They don’t have teeth yet, so they’re not quite chewing on that pizza, but they are proceeding to gum it to death. It’s nice that they “get it”, and are happy…

Trout for dinner

Rainbow trout

She baked it in the oven with almonds, added some veggies and new potatoes and everyone ate it right up! Well, to tell you the truth, the babies…
