Happy Birthday Precious Boys

Can you even believe all that has happened in a year?  Can you believe that we would go from a little family of 2 to a wonderful crazy family of 4?  Go from being tube feed in the NICU to feeding yourself and devouring your cake and birthday meal?  How time flies and how much I have seen you both grow over the year.  I am so excited to go through this journey with you both and can't wait for all the fun that lies ahead.  There are so many pools to be swam in, food to be eaten, toys to be played with, and conversations to be had.

To my precious little Cyril:
These past couple months you have certainly changed and you are developing so well.  Here are some of your milestones that you have accomplished through your first birthday:

• Crawling with your 3 legged crawl and moving very fast
• Eating "big people" food only, and done with pureed foods (except when I hide them in your food)
• Full transition to sippy cup and no more bottles
• Walking along furniture
• Loving bath time and getting upset when we have to get out of the water
• Making the funniest and craziest faces and making me laugh everyday
• Mimicking laughs, faces, and signs that we might show you
• Saying mama, dada, and babbling to your brother (when you are suppose to be sleeping)

Weight: 20.1lbs         Height: 29in.

To my dear precious Paxton:
Even though you are smaller than your brother, you are doing well and keeping up with your brother and giving him a run for his money.  Here are some of your milestones that you have accomplished through your first birthday:

• Crawling
• Eating "big people" food only, and done with pureed foods (except when I hide them in your food)
• Full transition to sippy cup and no more bottles
• Loving to walk with help from mom and dad
• Making your brother mad daily and taking his toys that he is playing with
• Making me laugh everyday
• Giving high fives, and waving bye
• Saying mama, dada, and babbling to your brother (when you are suppose to be sleeping)

Weight: 17lbs 6 oz.         Height: 27in.

 The boys are practicing their "jousting" skills with kitchen spoons.

 Paxton's so excited that he's almost 1!

 I guess they will learn soon enough that they both have teeth and they are SHARP!

 Posing for their photo shoot! 

 Cyril loving the camera!

 It's Birthday Cake Time!

 Paxton likes his frosting. 

 So we can just make a mess of ourselves and no one will stop us??

 Paxton loved every little bit of his cupcake.

Cyril found it a lot easier to just pick it up and shove it in his face.
