It has been forever since I have had a chance to update this blog but I wanted to do a quick update before their birthday and then I will add pictures and video from their party!
It is so hard to believe that in 3 days the twins will be 1 year old. So much has happened in the past year and I would not change it for the world. Peyton and Olivia arrived 2 months early and had some scary moments in the NICU but looking back we are so blessed to have such wonderful babies! The NICU nurses were awesome and they taught us so much about being parents and how to care for preemies.
This past weekend Olivia started pulling up on a walking toy and actually walking behind it! Peyton can walk on his knees behind the walking toy. Both babies have 4 teeth (2 on top and 2 on the bottom) Peyton is my little vampire - is is about to get his fangs!
They laugh and talk to each other and Olivia says Mama, Dada, Kitty, Ba Ba, and a few other things. Peyton does not say as much but he is starting to talk more. He said Kitty, Dada, and Mama recently but he really likes to laugh and get everyone to laugh with him. He will look around the room to make sure everyone saw him and then laugh again. Both babies can now go up stairs all the way to the top- Thanks to Mrs. Tonya (the babysitter) since we dont have stairs for them to climb.
We started weaning them off formula (which will be awesome when we can just buy milk and save us a fortune), and they love to eat everything that we eat. Our dinner continues to be a quick event because when we eat the babies are usually crawling all over us to get some of what we are eating. They will eat anything and everything!
We are blessed to have such wonderful babies who love to laugh and play with each other.
The big day is Saturday so cross your fingers that they will be great for the party! But it is their party and they can cry if they want to!!!!!!!!!!!
