Big Boy Food

Landon started solid foods last week with much success! We began with applesauce last Tuesday and then introduced green beans on Saturday. Strangely, Landon loves green beans and seems to prefer them to applesauce. Mommy, on the other hand, does not like green beans in baby food form...I tried them on a dare from Paul. Word of advice - do not try them! In just a week of solid foods, Landon has developed a slight belly which is good because he is so tall and skinny and looks oh-so-cute !

As a baby gift from Lola (my mom) we received a Beaba baby food maker, so I will attempt to make homemade baby food. I wonder if Landon will like it as much as store-bought food!

What should we introduce next?

Baseball is Officially Here...Finally

Yesterday was our first official game of the 2010 baseball season. We kicked off opening day with a double-header at our field against Fairview High School. The Raiders won the first game 11-0 with Paul's first no-hitter as a coach! We were only one walk away from a perfect game. The second game was a little closer and the temperature dropped a lot, which probably didn't help the guys but they kept the tight lead and we won the game 2-1. It wouldn't have been a true Coach Lamm game if there wasn't a little excitement and a heated argument between an umpire and Paul, but everything was fine in the end and we finished the game to start the season at 2-0! We in the Lamm household are very excited that baseball is finally here! We can't wait to see what the season has in store for us!

Baseball Season is Here (Almost)

Even though it was very cold, Mommy and Landon braved the weather (and illness) to watch Daddy coach on Monday. We couldn't miss the first pre-season game of the year, especially since it was at our field. Landon really had a fun time despite the chilly air. We love that his first baseball game was Daddy's. Landon got to see his Daddy doing what he loves and he was all smiles, as usual! We sat in the press box to stay a little bit warmer and while we were sitting next to the microphone, Landon started "talking." So, our wonderful announcer Joe held the mic up to Landon in between innings so the little guy could talk to his Daddy! So cute! I wish the game had a better outcome, but it's pre-season so we have a couple of games to work everything out!
