9 Months!

That's right, 9 months! Only 3 months until my little babies turn 1!! They are growing and changing every day now it seems. We saw the pediatrician this past Monday and they were utterly fascinated by the paper on the table and behaved very well, even with their one shot.

Wagon ride


A lot has changed in our house over just the last month. The kiddos have become a lot easier to keep appeased and even nap time is getting easier. They have started to recognize one another, which has been really fun to watch. They will babble back and forth and when they both see the "doggy" they react and look to one another for reaction. We've begun taking them out more and more, which sometimes is no big deal and other times proves challenging. All in all though, we're definitely learning as we go and loving every minute of it!
