Happy 6 Months!!!

Maddie and Katie turned 6 months old yesterday! We just can't believe how fast they are growing. We tried to do a photoshoot to celebrate their 1/2 year birthday, but they were not the most cooperative so we continued it today...enjoy the photos!

A fun weekend

We had a fun weekend! Saturday kicked off with our 6 month doctor visit (although we turn 6 months on Wednesday.) Maddie weighs 14 lbs and Katie 13 lbs. Maddie is 24 inches tall and Katie is just over 23 inches tall. They are doing great and got the go ahead to try bananas, pears, apples, squash, avocado and more! They can even have a sip of water soon. They got 2 shots---Katie was ok but Maddie was very upset. See below for some pictures!

Katie trying avocados - not sure if she likes it.

Happy Days!

It has been a fun week and it has only just begun! Our friend Miya went back to Hong Kong today and we miss her! We are looking forward to seeing her again in July. We spent some time hanging out with Tai Gung and Tai Po - what fun!

Carrots and Aunty Amy

Tonight the girls tried carrots for the first time. Daddy fed them since Mommy is "allergic". Aunty Amy flew in from London last night and came to hang out at our house tonight--thanks for feeding Maddie and for the adorable Harrods teddy bear and dog - they love them!

Maddie deciding if she wants to brave the carrots - maybe she is "allergic" like mommy?

Katie's first taste....hmmm...not sure if she enjoyed it

Easter Weekend

What a great Easter weekend! On Friday, we had air conditioning installed in our house - YAY! On Saturday, I had a lovely dinner with Tammy at the Westin Moana Surfrider's Beachhouse restaurant - no kids, just us. We had a wonderful time and the food and view were wonderful. Easter Sunday brought us to church (both girls were well behaved) and then brunch with the Nishidas, Heather and Brian and Uncle Jeff. We had Toby's family over for dinner and the girls got to play with all of their new goodies from their Easter baskets. Happy Easter everyone!
