Slow down, time.
It's going way too fast. These sweet, happy, clappy, little baby girls are about to be 11 months old!! They love to try to pull up/stand, but are very, very fast just crawling now. Love the toys that light up and play music - the hippo & balls toys and Luke's old work bench. They are actually quite happy just banging one toy on another. Or sometimes banging it on their sister :)
They are getting to be good eaters- veggies, puffs, blueberries, strawberries....sometimes more on the floor than themselves, but not too bad. Still 4 bottles a day. Doing well with sippy cups of water. Still going to bed by 7:30 and sleeping through the night. They both have their bottom 2 teeth, and 4 top teeth, and looks like more are ready but they are not cranky thankfully.
We booked their first birthday party at BounceU with all the cousins and Jacob. So it should be a blast- not necessarily for them but for Luke (and Raya, Charlie, Ruby....)!
In anything from 6 month clothes to 12 months clothes. Their sweet little fake Uggs still don't fit their little feet nor do their skidder like socks that are size 6 months.
Potty training Luke. He's doing great but I am just soooooo ready to be over it. He uses it at home and wears his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle undies at home but sometimes he just wants to wear his diapers and we just haven't sent him in undies to Pam's yet. Dang it. He's doing good though!
He is so funny and could play & play & play. But he also likes his downtime to watch movies and snuggle. Man he is the sweetest thing. We go to the dentist in a couple of weeks- I think he'll do great. He will brush his teeth himself or sometimes he wants me too.
Luke gets along great with his sisters, but sometimes he wants to take his toys into different rooms or on the bed so 'sisters can't get them'. But overall, he's a great big brother and they are perfect little sisters. Hope it stays that way!
A year ago was big, fat, pregnant and anxiously awaiting them, and now, it's like they have always been here!! Can't see what the next month brings before they turn the BIG ONE!

Luke is 3!
What a day it is! We've been celebrating the last 2 weekends - parties, Monster Truck Jam, cupcakes, ice cream- that today has finally arrived. We sang happy birthday this morning to him with his cupcake & candles. He's a sweet, sweet boy. I can remember all those feelings of anticipation - not knowing if he's a boy or girl, healthy, everything. I couldn't believe it was really (and finally!) happening!
Now he's here and he just makes everything better. And it's like he's always been here. He really was meant to be and is our Dream Weaver come true :)

Don't want to forget Friday!
It's our last Friday as Luke as a 2 year old! He turns 3 next Wednesday. Blows me away.
He had gone through a rough patch at night, but seems to be getting better and back to his sweet ways. He still does not like 'to get ready' in the morning - he wants to just stay home. Even if we are going somewhere fun.
Last weekend we had his birthday party at Grandma Fellure's with the other January and February birthdays. He loves to sing Happy Birthday! And he loves to eat just icing off of the cupcakes.
The girls are as sweet as can be. Vivian is a fast crawler and goes all over the house. Riley is content to just sit there, crawl a bit, and then keep playing. I do notice they are getting a little more aggressive with each other when they are playing- banging the toy on the other sister, taking it away, climbing on each other. Usually one ends up in tears but nothing too bad yet.
I catch Vivian doing the 'tri-pod' - a crawl/walk thing that Luke used to do right before he started walking. That makes me nervous! But very excited at the same time. I try to get them to stand and cruise along the couch, but their little legs/feet just aren't ready. But when one of them sees the other 'standing' they get a big smile on their face and act so proud of them. It's really sweet.
Luke is going to the monster truck jam tomorrow with Daddy and Sunday we are having the Weavers over for his birthday. It's been a long month of celebrations and it's still not even his birthday yet! He's majorly into cars, guns, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, puzzles....and trying to go on the potty. He will do both on it, just not consistently. Looking forward to the day he's out of diapers!!
But he does the sweetest 'I love you, Mommy' and 'I want you to snuggle with me' and he's really good about 'hey sister, do you want me to feed you? Do you want to play? ' His little voice is so darn sweet.

Happy New Year!!
What an exciting year 2014 was and looking forward to see what 2015 has in store for us! Thankful for all the blessings. I still can't believe I was pregnant a year ago with twins and didn't know what to expect. And to know they made it here, full-term, safely, and they are girls still leaves me giddy. My cup runneth over. And to watch Luke grow up into such a sweet, loving boy - it's amazing.
The girls turned 9 months old on New Year's Eve. Backward crawling, playing with toys, sitting and rolling around. Oh, the life of a baby. Such happy girls- always wake up with a smile on their faces.
Had their check up yesterday - here are the stats:
Riley - weight: 19 lbs 8 oz - 53%
length: 27 3/4 - 54%
head: 43.7 cm - 39%
Vivian- weight: 19.35 lbs - 58%
length: 28 inc- 62%
head: 43.3 cm- 28 %
Little peanut heads! 4 bottles of 7 oz and an occasional meal, but I need to increase that. They are still great sleepers. 7:30 ish is bed time and don't wake up until 6:45ish.
Both of them have their 2 bottom teeth and 2 top teeth and working on some more. Feel like Vivian might be the one who gets in a little trouble. She's more mobile and seems up for anything. Riley is a little more cautious and a little more sensitive around people. Has the saddest sad face if she's sitting there and you walk away.
They had a great first Christmas - didn't know what was going on but seemed to enjoy it!! Actually we all had such a wonderful Christmas (except for Daddy who was super busy moving his company's office!) Weaver peanut butter ball making on Christmas Eve morning, Christmas Eve at my parents', Christmas Day at my Grandma's, day after Christmas @ the zoo with the Weavers, and Weaver Christmas Saturday the 27th!! Man, it was exciting and fun celebrating with all the cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents.
Luke is AWESOME still with them and he's becoming quite the encourager and cheerleader: "Mom, sister is crawling!! Go sister!!! " "Come here, sister!! You wanna play??" It's so sweet!! He had a rough November, crankiness, not sleeping well, but he seems to be back on track. He's so excited for his 3rd birthday!! He wants M&M's, cupcakes, and dinosaurs. Pretty easy.
