We are one!

We made it! I can not believe that John and Megan turned one today! This past year has flown by! We have made some amazing friends, strengthened friendships that had already been made, and learned how to exist with little sleep.

John weighed 5 lbs 10 oz a year ago today and now weighs in at a husky (yeah right) 16 lbs 14 oz. He is creeping on furniture and has started to stand up without holding onto anything. Walking here we come! He loves to drink strawberry banana smoothies and eat pancakes and french toast. He is bigger than his sister and uses it to his advantage when he wants something that she has! John has his bottom two teeth, his top two middle teeth, and one on either side on top have just started to poke through ((for those of you counting...that makes 6) He can say "mama" and "dada" and has his own language with his sister!

Megan was 4 lbs 5 oz and 16 1/2 inches long at birth and is now 14 lbs 10 oz and 26 1/2 inches long. She is pretty small, but very active. She loves to crawl and pull herself up. She creeps along furniture and loves to push her brother on their train (thanks Stephanie and Rob for the awesome birthday present). Megan also loves her smoothies and just like her brother can drink out of her sippy or a straw easily. She inhales strawberries and especially loves mandarin oranges. You can't get them on her tray fast enough! Megan has her bottom two and top two teeth with the top two side teeth trying to make an appearance. She can also say "mama" and "'dada", but is more vocal than John.

Both John and Megan love to play peek-a-boo and often play with each other. We are learning how to give kisses and are practicing eating with a fork. They both sleep 9 1/2 to 10 hours per night and take two naps each day.

Over all..they are pretty amazing!

I am trying something new with pictures and will post something in the next few days!
