Bedtime Buddies

All clean and all ready for bed 

The toddler years...

are definitely here.

Miss M. might me making up for lost time.

She was the easiest baby.

She may not be the easiest toddler.

Good thing she is so dang cute ;-)

A stander and a crawler

M is finally pulling herself up on everything.

She has the skill to walk soon - but not the confidence.

She has a look of fear on her face as soon as she looses balance, even slightly. 

 A is finally showing signs of crawling in the near future.

He is totally mobile - on his bum.

He literally sits on his bum and scoots wherever he needs to go.

He too is pulling himself up - but I am more impressed with his potential crawling.

Teeth

Miss M. decided she'd like to have some teeth for her 13th month.

She also decided she'd like ALL FOUR front teeth to come in 

at the same time.

Mom & Dad did not have the same preference.

What about Mr. A, you ask?

He only has SIX

Four on top

Two on the bottom

Thankfully they have been coming in one at a time since December.

Sharing is Caring

M would sit and hold that blanket all day if I would let her. Every now and again A needs a little blanket/binky love too.

M was not feeling well earlier this week and I was happy to let herhave her blanket, binky AND watch TV, just so she'd stop whining/crying ;-(

They (well, A) are happy to share the blanket if there is only one laying around. M would rather not share and would prefer to be holding two of her blankets at the same time!

Wordless Wednesday

As different as can be...

Andrew loves the water and loves being in the water.

 Mallory would rather sit pool side and enjoy the water from a distance.

Their BIRTH day...

We decorated the house...

Dad took the afternoon off and we went to the park...

We have no family anywhere close to GA

so we invited a few friends over to celebrate their actual day...

We had cupcakes (instead of smash cakes)

(and some of us threw them on the floor)

We had some cake...

(and we forgot to sing Happy Birthday)

We opened some presents...

We have had a fabulous FIRST YEAR...

and we are already enjoying their second...

Ladies and their Babies

Loving their cars...

HAPPY HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY....

What a difference ONE YEAR makes.

Happy Birthday Miss Mallory & Mr. Andrew.

Mallory hated it.

Easter Baskets

 This is a very appropriate picture of me attempting to photograph their "First Easter PJ's"

My perfect picture moments are getting fewer and further between... ;-)

Babies 1st Easter

Happy Easter...

Cheesy - Maybe.

Cute - Definitely.

We'll take a little cheese to remember their first easter!

Getting a little hair pulling revenge ;-)

Sunday...

Mallory says: "Granny bought me this beautiful dress that I wore to church today"

 Andrew says "So mom made me wear a tie to match my sister"

And because our mom is snap happy. 

We took a bunch more pictures...
