A year full of fun!!!

So we have successfully reached a year with our sweet babies! With many laughs, tears, fights and smiles, It has been fun and unbelievably amazing!!! I still look at our babies and sometimes can't believe they are ours, we thank God everyday for allowing us to be their mommy and daddy!!

Who knew the terrible twos would begin at a year? Both kids are becoming quite independent, stubborn and throw fits like they are pros! The arching of the back and the stiffness when they dont want to be put down can be quite humerous to say the least!
Rylan is still walking along the furniture, he has not ventured out on his own yet, but will walk with us while holding our hands. He has become a little show off and makes the most adorable faces when you look at him. He scrunches up his nose, closes his eyes and sticks out his tongue, he loves to get people laughing at him. He is still 1 lb smaller than his sissy, but an 1 1/2 taller than her!!!

Kamryn is on the go, she crawls everywhere and is pulling herself up and standing while holding onto furniture! She continues to have attitude and has developed a really loud scream to get your attention!!! She is love with her daddy lately and puts her arms up for him to hold her then lays her sweet head down on his shoulder. I know his heart melts everytime!!! She always has her plastic rings with her, one in the mouth and one in each hand!! She never drops them even when she is crawling around!
They are both playing very well together, they arent fighting as much as they were, they giggle at one another and follow each other around! They are both very healthy and happy little babies! We are so unbelievably blessed!!

Survive Year One - check

Well, as absolutely unbelievable as it seems, a year has already gone by since we doubled the size of our family. I guess it is time to sit and reflect on what a whirl-wind the last 12 months have been. Oh wait . . . now we have two babies approaching toddlerhood at warp speed - no time for reflection. Guess we'll do that in about 17 years.

The birthday party was perfect. We were surrounded by friends and family, the kids knew exactly what to do with their cakes (as the pics will indicate), and there weren't any major meltdowns by any kids or adults.

I've thrown in a few pics, and I'm sure Katie will add more when she gets a little free time (may be a while).
