1 and counting....

Well it came and went. You had your 1st birthday. I can't believe time goes so fast. I look at you every day and think, how did you both get so big? :(

Your birthday was on 1st day of the Winter Olympics. So we had an Olympic themed party and invited friends over. It was fun. You both liked your cake and ate it too. :)

Juliet, you are getting so big and such a personality. You have been walking rather well for a couple of weeks now and each day it is better and better. You walk the majority of places you go now, it is so cute. Jace, you don't have much desire to walk, you walk along the couch and stuff, but you just really don't care. You love trucks and things that roll, and especially balls.

You both got cozy coupe cars for your birthday and when you aren't fighting the other kids for them you like to sit in them and play or watch tv. It is cute. Juliet, you can climb in and out all by yourself and it is funny. I just can't believe how big you both are. You eat pretty much all the same thing we eat and Juliet you get so mad sometimes when we give some to Jace. Because you don't have many teeth and he does, you usually swallow and he takes a bit to chew. You get feisty having to wait and sometimes swat the spoon when it comes your way...ooh that makes mama mad! And dad too.

Jace you are so relaxed and just watch it all happen. It is funny to see how different boys and girls are. I love you both so much it hurts. I love having twins and the time is just slipping by so fast.

It has been so fun and you are both so good and such good sleepers.....You are almost ready to go into big seats in the car...that will be a challenge and fun to see your face in the mirror though!

I love you both so much and just have been so blessed to have been given you! PS Jules, you still babble a lot and say mom and dad and now "bop." Could be stop, I don't know, we say it back and forth and smile. :) Jace you "ka" still and say mom and dad every now and then. You both adore signing time and swing your arms back and forth for "play" when you want to watch it. It is so cute! You get all excited when I mention it. So cute!!!

Stop growing!!!!!

You are almost one...I don't want to even talk about it. :( But oh so cute....Juliet, you are standing in one spot and taking a couple of steps...Jace, you can stand for a bit. It is so cute...I can't believe you are that old...ready to walk. Jules, you stand there and clap for yourself it is so adorable! You walk around the house by walking along the walls, the table, cabinets....you prefer to do that than crawl I guess. :) Mostly when you are in the kitchen. It is so cute. You both are preferring real food now and I don't know if it is because I don't want you to grow up so fast, but I am hesitant to give you bigger foods like people food...fishies, marshmallows, things I don't think you can eat yet, but maybe you can. At least Jace, he has like 10 teeth...Jules, you are still sporting only two. :( I guess they will grow in later. :) Both of you are developing the cutest little personalities. I love to lay on the floor and you flock to me and crawl all over me. You both give the best kisses and have the most adoring smiles. Jules you say dada, momma, and uh oh. Jace- you say dada and mama and ka! :) YOu love to splash in the bath....and still tease each other by taking each others' binkies, but now you have gotten to a spot where you give them back and smile. :) Such great babies. You sleep great, take great naps, go to bed great.....Juliet, you know when to tease...if you do something naughty you do it and look right at me and smile... such a stinker. :) I just love it. I can still get a cuddle in every now and then when you are both tired...and I love that. Juliet, it is funny to see the difference in boys and girls. You are such a little ninny sometimes. You throw fits for no good apparent reasons...and Jace must looks at you like..."what on earth?" It is so funny. Jace, you know where to go to get attention. You go straight for the phones and keyboards if we are on them. :) You also love balls. You love play with them and I have seen you play with Kason and Ryder when they are pushing cars around. You get in line with a car and follow them. It is so adorable! You giggle and them more than anyone...brotherly love. It is so cute. I just can't get enough of you twinsies! I wanted twins for so long and still after almost of year of having them....just love every second, even when you are chasing me around the kitchen crying and pulling on my leg at the same time. :) I just adore you and really am so sad the time is going by too fast. I love you both dearly!

10 months old

My sweet little angels, you just turned 10 months old, you are so much fun. You have such cute little personalities. Jace, you are everywhere, you crawl fast, pull yourself up on everything, and lately just follow me around and climb up my leg. You are attached to my hip unless I can persuade you to play with some type of vehicle or car. :) You like to roll those around everywhere....:) Just like a boy!
Juliet, you are quite the personality...you always sway to any music...you love music. I already know. You sway constantly when even someone starts to sing. It is adorable. You are already a teaser. You like to tease and play around and then you laugh. It is funny you already put things together like that to get a laugh. You love to wave and the first time I saw you wave on your own without me telling you to was over thanksgiving at your uncle Spencer's house. Someone else was holding you and you turned to me and saw me and I could see you thinking and putting it together. Then you waved at me..it was the most adorable thing. :) When you say Dada, it is almost like a question.. "dada?" Jace, you still like to talk in "ka's." Perhaps...you will be interested in karate. :) Although you are both everywhere and keeping me busy, it is so fun to have you both here and to play with you. I love to sit on the floor and have you both crawl right over and crawl over me. Jace you can't seem to get enough of mom. :) You both love to take each other's binkies...and Jace I swear you are teasing Juliet....You are so funny when it comes to plain and simple things...like Binkies....its an automatic and you smile when you take hers out and bang them together. :) You are both smart little cookies. We just drove to Utah and were in the car 3 days there 3 days back. We really drove 24 hrs straight and then 12 the 2nd day. We did that on the way there and way back.....you both did so great. It was amazing. I couldn't believe how well you did and that you never once threw a fit when I had to put you back in your seat. You are both such great babies! We are truly blessed to have you in our family. Love you both soooooo much!

Almost 9 months!

You will be 9 months on Wednesday, and I am just in awe how time flies! Jace you are crawling everywhere, pulling yourself up standing there...then scream because you cant' get down. :) Juliet, you decided you were getting left behind, so in a matter of one week, you were already figuring out how to get around and now you are crawling a few steps, but not all over just yet. But you roll to get where you want to go, and you go from sitting to hands and knees and back to sitting...you just did that today in church. :) Such a big girl! Both of you are so big. You are so cute and both want to be held bunches, you have your moments where nothing else will suffice. :) Jace you have tons of teeth...you seem to have gotten 3 or 4 at a time...you have 4 down and maybe even 4 up. Poor baby. Jules, you have two down that I know of. But I just watched you crawl over to the blanket bucket and the bumbo and chew on both of them, so maybe you are getting a few more. :)

Juliet, every now and then I look over at you and you are swaying...just humming to yourself or to music. :) You have waved double handed waves a couple of times, which I adore. You also clap really well. I love it when you get excited and squeal. It melts my heart!

Jace you have loved to clapped (hand over hand) for a while, but every now and then you clap properly. It is adorable. You just crawl yourself wherever you want to go and it is usually over to my leg. :) You babble in "ahs" and are such a happy little baby boy. You both still look at me with those puppy dog eyes and I would give you anything you want. :) It has been so fun to see you get older, albeit sad. I just love you munchies to pieces!

8 months and counting...

You are both getting so big it is unreal. You are getting more demanding which requires more of my attention and less time for other things, like blogging.:( So I am behind.

Juliet, you are such a doll...you still spy me with your little eyes across the room and they are like puppy dog eyes beaconing me to come get you. You even have a little whimper like a puppy sometimes....it is adorable. You are up on all fours, shaking your bum, and at the point where you move backwards. You of course still prefer to be held or be where the action is, so you don't stay down long. You love being held. You are a great sleeper. You have been sleeping through the night for a while now, and take great naps. You go right to sleep and are just a perfect napper. You have some teeth trying to come in on the bottom...you are still a tiny girl. You love to play and you move your head back and forth from side to side when you get excited and playful. One of the other kids did that too...dad thinks it was Ryder, I don't remember, that is why I write these. :) It is cute though. You love to make others laugh and when you do, usually something with your cute face and eyes, you keep doing it...it is adorable. I forget you are getting big...you seem so tiny still because you are petite and I am in denial and want you to be small for longer. :) I am so sad it is racing by me.

Both of you are great eaters, you love food, hold your own bottles, and always still each others' binkies. When I am feeding you, you are both so patient and wait for the other to have a bite. Dad has said he is always amazed at that. :) You are both so adorable and fun to have. It has been a dream come true. :)

Jace, you are all but crawling. You pull yourself all over the house, up the step from the living room to the kitchen, anywhere you want to go. I am starting to find you under my feet since you can get around. :) It is cute. If we set you somewhere, you know you don't have to stay and squirm yourself to me. :) You are a great eater, still waking up in the night...but every now and then you sleep all night, so counting down hopefully til you are good all night....:) You are such a cutie and I love you play with you and see your adorable smile. You are starting to get a cute little personality too. You love your brothers and just watch them and giggle whenever they give you the slightest bit of attention. I know you 3 will be the best of friends.

I adore you both so much.

7 1/2 months old

This week you two have been super funny. You both have been showing your personalities and it is so adorable.

Juliet, you were so cute the other day. We were feeding you food and I switched to apple sauce. It was cold out of the fridge and you squinted your eyes and made a funny face. Everyone busted out laughing and you caught on...so after that, you made the face on purpose...it was so cute! You did it several times to get a reaction. We laughed and tried to record it. :) You are such a doll. You have been sleeping through the night finally, for about a week or two. It is so nice. :) You are a good sleeper and happy all the time. You wake up happy and that is nice. You look at me no matter where I am and its like we have this little bond. I love it. You look at me and smile and often cry if I am not holding you. This week also you say Mama and Dada. I don't know if you link them to us, but it is cute nonetheless. You aren't interested in crawling too much yet, you are content to just be wherever you are. Mostly to be held. :) You have been sticking your blankets in your mouth lately, I should check for teeth. :) You swing your arm often, last night I though for sure you were leading an unseen choir in a song...it seemed like it. You are in a cute babbling stage and coo loudly often and babble on, it is adorable. You are both at such a fun stage right now. I love it.

Jace, you are itching to crawl so bad you can taste it. You are so wiggly and want to just squirm and go. On the floor you go everywhere by rolling and get up on all fours. You have been shaking your bum for a week or two raring to crawl. Soon you will be going all over and I will be in trouble. You are also a babbler and babble loudly when you are happy. You are getting to be a chunky monkey and it is so squishy cute. :) You have the most adorable little smile and blue eyes. You love food and open wide waiting for the spoon. Both of you are patient when it comes to food...not bottles, but food...you wait patiently for the other to have a bite. :) You still wake up once a night, but a couple of times this week you didn't, so hopefully soon you will sleep all night. :) You are such a happy little fellow and full of energy. You love to play and roll and both of you love the wipes package. Probably the noise is so fun to play with. :)

I can't believe you are both so big. Time is slipping away from me. You wont let me cuddle you that much anymore and it is so sad. I still try to hold you both as much as I can at the same time...but you are both squirmy and just getting big. :(

Although I am glad I am not pregnant, because at the end it was just miserable....but worth it....I am missing when you were both tiny little tots. But each stage is so fun and flies by.

You have such cute little spirits and I love you bunches!

7 Months

Oh you are growing so fast. I can hardly stand it. I was thinking you were still 6 months for awhile, then someone asked me how old you were, and I was shocked the 2nd had past and you had turned 7 months. oh so sad. You are both getting so big.....Jace you are up on all fours shaking your bum, wanting to crawl...it is so cute. You love your brothers and giggle insanely at them when they even talk or look at you. It is so funny. You are such a tunk. You love to eat and when you have a full tummy you are so happy and adorable. You are content most of the time and love to play in the saucers. You roll right over on the floor and scoot backwards and roll everywhere. You know and recognize Umi Zoomi when it comes on, because your brothers are addicted. :) Mostly Kason now. :) You have the cutest smile and  will melt hearts all over, as you already do. You scream bloody murder when you are hungry and don't let up til something is in your mouth.:) You are such a doll. I can't believe how much personality shows right now at such a young age.

Juliet, you are a little doll. You are so tiny and petite. You are doing well with food and have been showing a cute personality lately too. You have been sticking your tongue out for weeks, it is adorable. You have no desire to roll over and get going. You have started rolling to your stomach a little more now, but you don't care much. Jace may be crawling circles around you. I think you are the same way with eating...you leave your mouth out with your tongue hanging out for the next bite. :) It is cute, but you are more interested in eating when you see Jace eating. :) You love mom. You are always looking at me and following me. Your eyes are glued to me and I think we have a great little bond. :) You get a little giggly when you are happy and you are always grabby at everything. You always try to grab Jace's binky and now he started doing that to you. You sleep through the night now, for the last week or so. It is so nice, now if Jace would just do it. :) He wakes up once usually and still, that is great. You both do great in your cribs and just love to play. You love to be held also, so you are both a bit spoiled. :)

It has been so fun to have you both at the same time. I am so sad you are getting big and often think I would love to have another set later on. You two are so much fun. I love you so dearly and still often can't believe I was so blessed to have twins. It is beyond a dream come true. Love you both.
