Long Overdue

This post is long overdue!  Back in November Aunt Steph and Matt did a little family photo shoot for the Millers at Hafer Park.  After our disastrous 1 year pictures we will probably be calling on Auntie Steph and Matt to capture our family pictures going forward :)  Can't beat the price!

No No

This is Jackson's latest facial expression when you tell him no no . . .

 
He is one smart little cookie.  When he makes this face I try everything to hold back my smile because this face is too cute and funny!  And then I cave and smile which makes Jackson laugh and do whatever he was doing again.  Vicious (but cute) cycle!

Fun in the Sun

65 degrees in January, I will take it!  While Tyler was off golfing the twinnies and I tested out some of their birthday toys.

First off, taking a spin in our coupes.  Watch out Bella Terra these two love cruising the neighborhood :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and then we went for a ride in our wagon . . .
 
We are already looking forward to spring and warmer weather!  This weekend was a little tease but we still enjoyed it.

Official One Year Stats

Jackson and Harper had their one year check up last Thursday and once again the Dr. confirmed they are absolutely perfect.  Of course we had no doubts.  We tell them they are perfect every day.

Miss Harper

You are the sweetest little thing.  You have become so content the last month.  We go weeks without hearing you cry.  You are definitely all girl.  You talk softly, you always gently set your toys down and you nicely hand your toys to others.  You are becoming quite the brave little girl.  You love to crawl into the kitchen and play jungle gym with all the chairs.  You climb over and under and from chair to chair.  You are so close to walking, so far you have taken three steps at a time.  Your new favorite thing is to point at everything.  We walk around the house learning what everything is.  Just a few weeks ago you mastered crawling on all fours.  We had been convinced that you would always army crawl but you proved us wrong.  You are the sweetest little girl and I could love on you all day long!

Weight:  24 lbs 10 oz (92%)
Height:  27 1/4" (6%)
Food:  three meals a day of all "adult" food and an afternoon snack and milk throughout the day.  No more formula or bottles!  HORRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Diapers:  size 4
Clothes:  mostly 12 months
Sleep:  2 hour morning nap and 1-1.5 hour afternoon nap, you still always signal to us that you are tired by putting two fingers in your mouth and grabbing your ear with your other hand.  At night you are sleeping approx. 11 hours
Teeth:  still only the bottom two

Bubs

You are our wild and crazy little man.  You are ALL boy!  You throw everything, you love playing ball, you flip all your toys over and you are usually babbling rather loudly.  You sure know how to have a good time!  You love laughing and smiling but you also throw your fair share of fits (you might throw sister's share too)!  Your latest thing is to wave and your favorite time to do it is in your highchair.  It makes you smile so big.  You also LOVE peek-a-boo, whether its playing peek-a-boo with your hands or hiding behind a door.  You laugh so hard every time and you can never get enough of it.  You are definitely our little dare devil.  You love to be upside down, thrown in the air or standing and falling back (luckily we are usually there to catch you).  There is not a toy that you don't like.  Your absolute favorite right now is your basketball hoop and throwing balls.  You are so full of life and bring so much laughter into our home!

Weight: 23 lbs 3 oz (55%)
Height:  28" (5%)
Food: three meals a day of all "adult" food and an afternoon snack and milk throughout the day. No more formula or bottles! HORRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Diapers: size 4, size 5 at night
Clothes: mostly 12 months
Sleep: 2 hour morning nap and 1-1.5 hour afternoon nap, by morning you have thrown all your pacis onto the floor and pulled every peice of your mobile off (once again you love throwing and playing)
Teeth: still only the bottom two

My little babies are growing up!  We have loved watching you two grow and learn this past year.  Although we miss those snuggly first months we absolutely love seeing your little personalities blossom.  We spend our weekends and evenings playing and playing and more playing and we wouldn't haven't any other way.

1 year check up pics . . .

 
 
Even a sucker didn't make little man smile after 4 shots :(

Winter ONEderland

Jackson and Harper celebrated their 1st birthday with a Winter ONEderland!  We had a great time celebrating the milestone with the twins closest family and friends.

I obviously had fun planning this party, Tyler said it was overboard, I think it was perfect :)  We have twins so we had to do it big!

Welcome to their party!























Old neighbors, I miss my real housewives of Talavera

A chunky necklace is the key to Harper's heart!
Our sweet friends and neighbors Arrin and Maddie
Jackson loved seeing Alexandria and especially loved her fashion glasses!

So much so that he had to try them on . . .

Luke also took a turn sporting the fashion glasses.  Handsome little man!
New neighbors, the O'donnells and precious little Olivia!
And the Horkeys's who will be introducing Baby H in June.  Future play dates!
The boys

As always I wish I had taken more pictures but that is much easier said than done.  Thank you everyone who came to the twins Winter ONEderland!  They are loved by so many.
