Happy Birthday!

My Babies are one! I am so grateful to have their first year behind us. They were HARD! They were SO worth the wait, the hormones, the tears, and the sleepless nights. If I had to choose one word to describe these two, it would be JOY.
What an amazing year this has been. We have had so many family and friends who made the journey out to help and visit this year. Just over a dozen in the first six months alone.THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I personally would not have made it through this year with out you.
Two babies.... One present. I wonder how long I can get away with this?
Annalise faired much better than Mckay in the cakey-gooey-mess department.
She was not impressed with her cupcake AT ALL.
McKay on the other hand tipped us off to the fact the blue frosting STAINS...hands, face, teeth, etc.

Highlights for these two at one year: pat-a-cake, "Yea"(followed by clapping as you see here), Chicka Chicka Booom Boom, Peek a Boo, the dishwasher phenomenon, the parade wave hello, as well as the hello telephone greeting, and "More" with the appropriate sign.


Love these kids. Every one.
Happy One, you two.
