Hello my wonderful readers! I can not believe I have 1 year old twins! Andrew and Juliet turned 1 a couple days ago and we have just had the best and hardest year of our lives to be honest. We were not expecting twins when we got pregnant with them and if you have followed a little while you will know that we didn't see two little people on the first ultrasound at 8 weeks, it wasn't until 13 weeks when I found out at my routine physical that there were two and not just one in there like before. It has been a roller coaster of year physically, spiritually and emotionally for all of us. I am so happy though that God brought them both to our family and that they are ONE!! We went to the doctor Thursday and they got a bunch of shots they were not too happy about of course, but thank the Lord for their daddy being able to be there and help me! Andrew is 20 lbs and 28 inches. Juliet is 17 lbs and 28 inches. Both are healthy and on track growth wise.
Diaper size: Andrew is on the second size snaps on his cloth diapers and Juliet is still on the first and they are still wearing a size 3 disposable diaper for now but not for much longer I'm sure.
Clothing size: Andrew is growing out of his 9 month clothes and headed into 12 month and 18 month clothes, while Juliet is growing out of some of her 9 month but still holding strong in that size for now she is wearing some 12 month clothes.
Sleeping: They both still take 2 naps a day, even though big sister keeps them up sometimes when the afternoon nap should be happening. They sleep through the night just fine when our neighbors decide to be quite.
Feeding: They are still eating 6oz bottles 4 times a day and 7oz bottle before bed. We are now going to start on milk slowly. They eat breakfast and dinner now and we are going to start lunch now that they are one to take the place of one of the bottles.
Routine: Routine is still the same as it has been for awhile, see past post on that.
Firsts: They had their Last First Holiday which was Thanksgiving and saw outdoor Christmas Lights for the first time at a local church drive thru lights display. They also had their First Birthday party (other posts on this to come!)
Movements: Andrew has taken a few steps without holding anything he is gets more confident each time but Juliet has yet to have any interest in walking without holding onto the couch or anything.
Teeth: Andrew has 3 teeth with more coming in. Juliet just has 1 but more I think are coming in.
Their last first holiday ended with me feeding them and snuggles before bed.
I don't know if I have ever shown this onesie, we only had one of them, both twins wore it and now Juliet is about to grow out of it but one more time for fun.
Juliet is loving sitting on this little couch we got Penelope a year or so ago.
She reminds me so much of Penelope when she is pointing and staring at the Christmas tree.
We win for the worst Santa picture of the year, no one but Juliet is looking at the camera and Andrew is screaming.
First Christmas jammies for them, these were both Penelope's her second Christmas.
They got another walker toy for their birthday from their great grandma so they are both on the go having lots of fun "racing" as Aaron puts it haha.
They experienced decorating for Christmas for the first time, it was so much fun to see their eyes look at the tree for the first time since last year they were only 10 days old or so at Christmas.
This will be the last monthly picture! I can't believe it, it was so hard to get them to stand there and smile, I will try to take one at 18 months but who knows how crazy they will be then haha.
Every year on Penelope's birthday so far Aaron has taken a picture with her just the two of them so I decided that I would take one with the twins each year so maybe on their 18th birthday I can give them each a book or something, we will see.
Hope you enjoyed the update on our little twinnies! Love to you all!
