Layla and Breanna: 12 months!!

One year ago (from last Monday), my whole life changed forever. I became a mommy, and not just a mommy- a mommy of two. And well, life became more than I could ever imagine. Don't get me wrong it was tough- very tough. And there were are many a day this mommy would love nothing more than to be sitting on the beach solo with a pina colada in my hand, but there are way more days I soak in every minute of being blessed enough to watch these two little miracles grow up. So without further ado let me introduce you all to my ONE year old twins:

It's been so excited to see all the little changes the girls have made and all the things they can do the once couldn't:

• We can climb on the sofa and climb down the safe way.
• We can stand on our own and we take two- three wobbly steps but aren't to intersted in walking just yet. (especially since we only recently mastered crawling with our tummy off the floor- we were pros at the Army crawl)
• We eat just about everything- but our favorite things are mandarin oranges, cheese, green beans and strawberries.
• We are quickly learning all our body parts and can easily identfiy- our hands, teeth, hair, toes, and nose.
• Our favorite activities are climbing on our blocks, sitting in our toy bin and riding in our toy cars.
• We became big sisters two months ago and at first had no interest in the new baby except stealing her blanket- now we are learning to be gentle:





• We don't do alot of talking just yet. Bree has really gotten into "talking with herself" whereas Layla is really into screaming to express ALL emotions.
• We are not the best of friends yet- and become frustrated when sister has something I want.
• We have started biting which makes mommy upset but we are starting to realize this is not a good thing to do.

Well, thats what the girls are up to as they hit the BIG ONE YEAR milestone. Stay tuned for postings on their Minnie Mouse Birthday party and little sister Peyton turning 2 months!
