Happy Birthday babies!!!

(sorry it's a little late, again, but my  motto is better late than ever!! )


Wow, I can't believe that my babies are a year old!!  It's crazy to think that they've been with us for that long, but at the same time it seems like they've always been with us!  This year, I would have to say, has been that best year of my life.  My life was not complete until I became a mom!  Being a mom is the best feeling in the world!!  I am so blessed to have Randy and Lexy in my life.  God has truely blessed Brandon and I and we thank him every day for it! :-)
 

Happy Birthday to my babies!! 9-8-11 (Mommy had to get in on the picture with the twins!)

Happy 1st Birthday Lexy!!! 9-8-11

This month has been a very busy month for Lexy!!  For starters at her 1 year dr. appt. her stats are as follows: 20 lbs 5 oz and 28 1/4 inches long!  She's my little one!!  She's so active that it doesn't surprise me.  Right before she turned a year old I have been trying to switch her over to whole milk.  She wants nothing to do with it.  So each weekend I continue to try and hope that one day she decides that she wants it.  In the mean time, the dr said to just give her cheese and yogurts to supplement the whole milk, but she is still on formula.  And because of her tummy problems, she's still on Nuetramagen.  Besides that she has been trying new and intersting foods!  I have come to find out she is definitely her mothers daughter... she is a texture girl.  She has a difficult time with different textures of food.  Hopefully she'll eventually grow out of it, but if she's anything like me, she wont.  LOL.  Lexy is all over the place.  This little girl has been walking since about 9 months and has been non stop since then.  Oh wait, did I say since she's been walking... let me take that back, she's been all over the place since she started crawling!  :-)  Her favorite thing to do now is to try to climb onto the couch.  She succeeds most of the time, but I have learned that if I put a pair of socks on her, she is not as successful.  And lets just say, she doesn't get very happy about it!  She has got the spunkiest personality!!  She's so funny and loves to make you laugh.  If she doesn't it once and gets a reaction from you she just keeps going.  Oh, yes, and I can't forget she LOVES to talk!!!  LOVES LOVES LOVES to talk!!  It's mostly jibber jabbers but she now knows how to say Daddy (her first word), Doggy, Bubba, and a few other words she can kind of say in Portugese! (Yes, we are teaching them Portuguese.  And thanks to the help of our sitter, Christina and my mom, they seem to be catching on real well!) 

Happy 1st Birthday Randy!!!

This month has also been very busy for Randy!!  His stats are as follows for his 1 year dr. appt. : 24 lbs and 31 1/3 inches long!!  He's my big little man!!!  He's measuring just appove the 50th percentile for his age!!  Brandon is hoping for a 6 footer!!  LOL!!  :-)  We'll see!!  haha!  Anything is possible!!  This month we started him on whole milk about a week before he turned a year old! He loves its!!  it was very easy to switch him over.  Fortunately no reactions to the milk.  And by the looks of it he likes it even more than he liked his formula!!  He also has been trying lots of different foods.  On his birthday he got to try steak for the first time and loved it!!  (Gonna take after daddy!!)  He loves food!!  He's really good about still letting me feed him, unlike Lexy, but he does like to feed himself.  He's my calm, relaxed little man that loves to play with things that have music and lights!!  He's content playing with his toys, until sister takes them away.  His favorite things to play with right now are the little push carts, and his little quads he got for his birthday!  He has started to show signs of wanting to walk!! YAAAYY!!!  (what am I going to do when he decides he wants to walk and I have two that are walking?  YIKES!!  lol) He doesn't talk as much as Lexy, but he can say mama, dada, and has started saying Daddy! (his first word)  He loves getting attention!!  He has the best smile I've seen on anyone (in my opinion, but thats becasue I'm mommy!!  :-)  His smile just melts my heart.  It just seems so sincere when he does it and when he does it's like he's ginning from ear to ear!! 

God had truely blessed our family!!!  I love my little family!!  This year has been filled with so many memories that will be in my heart forever!!  It's amazing to think that a year ago I brough home my baby boy weighing 6 lbs 5 oz and my baby girl weighing 6 lbs 12 oz and a year later they are both over 20 lbs!!  They grow so fast and learn so much in a year!  I am so proud of my babies in all that they have accomplished in their first year!!  They are my life!!  Mommy and Daddy love you Randy and Lexy!!!  And look forward to see what your second year of life brings you!!!
