Babies Second Birthday

Today is the girls second birthday! We are so excited. The girls are staying home today with Grandma and Papa and celebrated with a McDonald's breakfast.

This year has been a blur. It was a difficult one for the family but we made it through. Wes is now happy in his new job.

I thought I would just try and keep a record of what we've faced and accomplished
  • Stopped nursing at 12 1/2 months
  • Transitioned to milk and all table foods
  • Started walking at 15 1/2 months
  • Started talking
  • Went back to daycare
  • Transitioned out of our bed room and into theirs
  • Stopped taking a pacifier
  • Started running
  • Mommy and Daddy are always tired
  • Gracie's seizure and ER visit making it necessary for us to always have a thermometer and Motrin on hand
  • Gracie's breathing issues and ER visits to get it under control
  • Lizzie's follow ups on the tubes in her ears - no new surgeries scheduled
  • The girls both being on allergy medicine (we thought we were done with medicine every day after the Previcid but I guess not)
  • The girls awareness of everything - the way they love their dog Molly and try to chase the cats
  • Their love of family - they love their cousins, aunts, uncle and grandparents
  • They can put on their boots
  • They can take off socks and shoes in 2 seconds while sitting in the car
  • They know "No", "Please", "Thank You" and "Milk"
  • All stuffed animals right now are "Melmo" (Elmo) or "babies"
I guess that's a long list! Soon I'll be blogging about their birthday party tomorrow!
