13 MONTHS

The girls are (as of yesterday) 13 months old! I feel like I should have a bunch to say, but instead I just have little bits. So this will be moderately random....and the pictures will also be random since it is especially difficult to get a good picture of the girls at the time (lots of movement and irritation during the photo shoots!)

The Golden Girls: The early years

The girls love to travel around from room to room (with me as an escort since our stairs are not gated) but they especially love to play in the kitchen...helping me unload the dishwasher and opening all cabinets and the pantry and removing whatever they can. And they love the phonics fridge magnet!

The girls are "sharing" the magnet...Brooke does all the hard work!

Brooke now has 10 teeth through the gums - the most recent molar made an appearance over Thanksgiving. I predict that additional teeth for both of them are right around the corner. This is based on the amount of drool, the constant chewing (we may never get rid of the paci), and most importantly we will be traveling and with family again!

More peas please!

The girls have decided that they only need one nap a day and so we are working through that transition. They are also eating 3 meals and one afternoon snack. It is amazing to see the quantity of food that they can eat...sometimes we just have to cut them off! They love to play peek-a-boo and it is really their best trick.


After Santa pictures we played at the mall...Audrey seemed to like this block for some reason!

It has been quite cold here (yes, I know Houston has gotten more snow than us) and I just think that the girls are so cute in all of their winter gear!...to be honest, I think that I am also quite adorable in my winter gear too!

My snow bunny Brooke

There has not been any independent walking yet, but they do love to push their walkers and cruise on the furniture. They are both dancing to music - absolutely adorable! They can both stand independently (Audrey has only just started that today - in the bathtub no less!).

Audrey loves to push Brooke around
