Happy Birthday Avery & Alexis!














One year ago today God blessed us with two more precious little girls. Honestly, this year has gone by pretty fast.

Here is an update on what the girls are doing now:


They are both crawling really well.
They can pull up on anything & everything and do so often.Both are good at picking up cheerios - still working on more "slippery" types of solid foods.
Recently we discovered that they will actually sit still for 30 minutes and watch Baby Einstein.
They babble a lot, especially Avery. Favorite words are mama, dada, baby, & meme.

Avery loves to be around people and beams when getting attention. She is sweet & calm on the whole, but she can throw a fit when it's time to nap and she doesn't want to! She babbles a lot and likes to pick up every little speck off the floor and put it in her mouth. She is a little more passive than Alexis, but if they are fighting over a toy, she will almost always win b/c she doesn't give up easily!
Alexis is active and loud. She likes to explore and seems to be a leader, doing a lot of things first. She's also quite the drama queen. I can usually tell the girls apart from their cries. Alexis's is loud and angry, Avery's is usually pretty sad like. Alexis can be very cuddly too, especially at night right before bedtime.



We Love you Avery & Alexis.

Happy birthday to the both of you! Isn't it neat to see just how different they are, even though they are identical twins!

YAY for being ONE! They are so stinkin' cute! Great job on the hair bows Shelly. It's neat to read what they are up to and how their personality is showing.
