One Year Old

Today is the girls first birthday. They celebrated by getting up at 6:30, having a little milk, playing, soiling a couple diapers, and then taking a nap.

In lieu of any fantastic new tricks or accomplishments, then, we'll post/repost some old pictures, to pseudo-document the past 12 months.


Baby's first night. We were up at 4:30 that morning to get into Wesley in time for the 7:52 birth, and it seems like it may have been close to 11 or 12 by the time they got us all squared away and in the recovery room so that anxious Grandma's could come see us. We had several other visitors that day, and IIRC this picture was taken at some point that night, while Jenn was asleep. Note the caps lack the "A" and "B" labels, something the nurses in the nursery took to doing that night to tell them apart, a habit we kept until well after we had them home (changed to Megan and Kayla of course).


We took a lot of pictures of the girls when we were still at the hospital, obviously. These onesies are probably newborn size, and still just falling off of them. The tracker things under the mesh kept falling off by the second day.


First day home from the hospital, sleeping in one of the pack and plays. We had two; one in the living room and one in our room, where the girls slept at night, for perhaps the first month or so. Jenn was on "night duty" for the most part, and probably didn't sleep more than 4 hours at a stretch until December. Lucky for us, the girls started sleeping through the night at around 3 months.


Girls at 3 months old. Seems like maybe I broke with the usual "Kayla on the left" convention in this picture as well for some reason.


Dresses that Jenn got online I believe.


In pink KU outfits.


Able to sit up by themselves.


Around 4th of July.


Getting into mischief, around 10 months old.


More mischief, closer to 11 months.


And of course this morning, officially 1 year old.

Good thing we're not having any birthday parties today, that nap didn't work out so well. Tried to put them down twice during the writing of this, it's apparently just not going to happen. Oh well, such is our life now. One final shot to end the official One Year Old blog post:

My, Oh, My! Still as beautiful as the day they were born. Each time I look at them or think of them, I thank God for these wonderful miracles that he blessed us with. God truly is great!
