HMB House Updating... Fun with Food. July 22, 2013

Lots going on with us this week.

A BIG Thank You to Nonni Lynda for holding down the fort with the kiddos!
Eddie & Gigi are working toward holding their own bottles- a Huge help. Very Exciting. 

The Trio has been loving eating food from their Teething Ring Bags.




Eddie is babbling more these days and his balance is getting quite good he can stand unassisted for a second or two. He can feed himself O's and frozen waffle quarters very well.

Gigi still says a lot of Gagaga or Dadada and zooms at crawling. She can feed herself the occasional O or waffle quarter.

Serafina still is saying A-Bababa pretty much all day and zooming at crawling. She is great at eating O's and waffles but sees no reason to feed herself. She prefers to point at the food, thank you very much.

* On the Home Renovation Front *

Bastille Day Party: July 14, 2013

Baby's First Bastille Day!
Gigi, Serafina & Eddie enjoyed the festivities of Bastille Day and Uncle Dre's Birthday party yesterday.
Vive La France!


Photos by: Uncle Matt DeClaire - THANK YOU!
We weren't able to stay for the canon firing, as the kiddo's couldn't hold off on nap time that long. Maybe next year! Great party Auntie Des. It was so nice to spend time with friends and adorable RP Little Ones (just ours are in these pics but it was quite a gathering of littles). 


All survived the signing for the new house last week and we have keys (This is how different we are from the last owners: the keys honestly have Ghost Flames on them. Yep.). 
We were certainly a spectacle at both the title company and later on the lawn of Burlingame City Hall for lunch and crawling time. But the car ride home was Quiet - there is hope yet for car trips as long as they are only during regularly scheduled nap times.





Updates are already chugging along at the new house and before we move in the face lift will be complete. It really wouldn't be a true Barbour home if we didn't make some changes.

More pics from First Birthday Weekend. Cake Smash!! Thanks to Sift Cupcakes for the cute tasty cakes. Babies first sugar (certainly not organic, but they lived) and last for a long time. 
We hear Uncle Clark has video of the smash. Maybe that will be coming soon .






 And one from their actual Birthday.

1 Year Old! July 8, 2013

The Babies Aren't Babies Anymore!
Gigi, Serafina & Eddie turned one year old July 8th.

On Sunday we celebrated their Birthday with a wonderful BBQ and cake smash with friends and family. Thank you so much to all who attended. It was a busy weekend to have it, so we missed a few people who we know would have loved to join in - maybe next year.














We took photos but if you took additional ones and are up for sharing with us, we would love to see them!




We'll put a separate post up for cake smash.

It has been an AMAZING first year with so many milestones and such Healthy Babies! 

One Year Check Up Stats:
Serafina: 18 lbs 9.2oz & 28in tall (At Birth 1.75lbs, length 13 1/2 in)
Gigi: 22 lbs 9.6oz & 29in tall (At Birth 2.1lbs, length 14in)
Eddie: 23lbs 12 oz & 29in tall (At Birth 2.2lbs, length 15in)


We've had some hot weather and the babies love their pool. Eddie especially loves splashing and doesn't mind if the water is cold. 



Tissue paper was a big hit with the kiddos.




Dr. Hamann has been the Best Pediatrician, we will miss him. He is very pleased with the kiddos. We can feed them absolutely anything now: honey, strawberries, nut butters... and No More Formula!!

Flash back photos of the babies during their first week July 2012.
