ONE YEAR OLD!!!!!

Wow - what a year it's been! Harper and Owen are on their way to becoming little people - NOT babies anymore. They are so much fun!

New Developments:
Harper is taking steps. I wouldn't say she's walking just yet. We still have to bribe her and she won't take more than 4 or 5 steps, but it's unassisted steps nonetheless. Owen has no interest in this.

They are both talking up a storm. Harper's favorite word (and maybe her favorite person) is dada. Owen's favorite word right now is "uh-oh"! EVERYTHING is uh-oh! Other words include dog, ball, and of course momma and dada.

We FINALLY have teeth! Owen got his 2 bottom teeth about a month ago - but that child has had symptoms of teething for months! He now has 4 total - 2 bottom and 2 top. Little Miss Harper's two bottom teeth finally decided to make their appearance just as she turned one.

Stats:
At their 12 month checkup we were surprised to learn that Owen only weighs a pound more than his sister - who is literally a feather-weight.
Harper - tiny thing only weighs 16 lbs. 2 oz and is almost 29" long.
Owen - 17 lbs. 8 oz and 29" long

We celebrated the kids first birthday with a sock monkey party. The kids made out like bandits!
Amycakes made the most amazing sock monkey birthday cake as well as the kids personalized smash cakes - which they inhaled!
Family and several close friends came to celebrate with us and the kids. With lots of food, drinks, gifts and cake - the party was a success! Oh - and the kids had fun too:) I think...
