Mandy and Emily are 1 years old!!!!!

1 Year ago today!

Today - 1 Year Old!

Yay!!!!   1 years old....we survived the first year.   I am so SO SO SO happy!!
I'm not going to sugar coat things, that first year is hard.   2 babies is a lot of work, its not all puppies and rainbows.  Some days it was all about survival, I'm sure I will have more of those days but for now....yay that we are entering toddler hood!  

Mandy
Pulls up to stand
Has taken steps unassisted
Says "moo"
Blows Kisses
Growls
Is totally off formula and on whole milk
No more bottle...all cup for this girl
She is the super clingy girl.  To me.   All hell breaks loose if I leave the room and her sight


Princess Mandy

Trying to dress herself

Emily
Can stand but does not pull up
Blows kisses
Is totally off formula and on whole milk
Only has a bottle in the morning and evening.  Everything else is in a cup
FINALLY is sleeping thru the night!    Started at 11 1/2 months
Started eating finger foods really well...shortly after 11 months


Fell asleep this way - comfy huh?

On Fathers Day

The transition to whole milk started 2 weeks ago and was very easy.   Not a problem at all.  Mandy was really easy to go to a cup, no attachment to her bottle at all.  Emily doesn't have attachment either but I feel like she is not ready to be totally on a cup for all milk just yet. 

Can you tell they are thrilled?

I believe Mandy has fifths disease.  She woke up with a red rash on her cheeks, it then spread to her arms.  It is now going away.   All 3 girls have runny noses and yesterday Mandy had a fever.   The days when both babies are sick is rough.  They both want to be held and snuggled of course so I try to give each baby their time and often they are both on my lap rubbing their snot all over their face and sobbing.  Rough.  They seem to be on the mend now...but of course Cassie woke up this morning with a runny nose.   Hoping everyone is better by this Saturday for the girls first birthday party!!!


See the red cheeks?

  1. happy happy 1st birthday to your sweet girls :) and congratulations to you and your hubby on surviving the first year with twins! I think unless you have twins-you can't really understand what a challenge {and blessing} it is!

  2. Aw, I can't believe they're one! Congratulations! It sounds like one really is the magical age with twins.
