Two

Incredible. 

The girls' birthday was on a Monday, so they had cake at daycare...and again at home after presents :)

An hour or so before officially two!

Cake at school!

Favorite present, hah!

And this weekend we had a small party with some family and a couple of friends. We kind of dropped the ball on invitations and not many people were available - plus all the summer vacations- but it was a nice size for our small house :)

More cake!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

well, we tried.

8 days of Christmas

I am so behind!

I finally got and hung one of the photos from the girls' one year old pictures!!

One Year Old

So the girls are one.

and getting really hard to take joint photos of

Our 12 month well visit was last night, and it went quite well (especially compared to our 9 month visit when all hell sort of broke loose and we came home with a nebulizer and an inhaler).  The girls' pediatrician is pleased with their development, and they handled their shots just fine (you know, with lots of pathetic screaming). Afterwards we ran by Target for diapers (since they have - sigh - yeast rashes and we'll need to keep them in disposables for a bit to clear that up) and the drug store for their (associated) scripts. No antibiotics this visit. Score.

So, stats:

1!

Incredible.

The girls kicked off their birthday weekend with a bit of celebrating at daycare...

early morning, before everyone has arrived

dude, I was eating my breakfast. why am I not at the table anymore?

On Saturday, we had a little party with our families...

(it is super hard to get two ONE year olds to smile at once!)

Right in the middle of the festivities, the sky opened. Chaos ensued, and I wish I'd been able to get some photos of the rain and what it did the the tent.

before the storm. You should have seen us trying to save the tent (we did succeed, but were soaked).

So we had cake inside...
