Someone Just Turned One!

Sophia had her first birthday on January 5th but we celebrated it this past weekend. It was a lot of fun getting together with Scott's family and a break for the two of us since we had many willing hands/arms to hold Addison and Caroline. Happy Birthday Sophia....we love you!!

The classic first cake pictures...

All the helping hands...

Janet certainly had the touch with both of them

Aunt Marne found a spare moment and was a great hostess

Great Grandma Hornaday

Grandma Anne

As many new moms do, I got a hair cut! I originally was going to get my hair cut when I was still pregnant but I ended up having 2 children the day I had planned on getting it. Oh well. Either way I am done with my long hair for now. Thank goodness!

Some more pictures from the past week or so...

Caroline and I having a one on one moment. I cherish these because they do not happen all them time and especially uninterrupted ones!

Both girls love to be held/sleep like this and I am expecting this to only last for another couple months. I will be sad when it is over. This picture was taken right after Scott got home from work. He generally finds me holding both of them when he comes home because from around 5:30 to basically when they go to bed they both like to be held continuously so putting one of them down for even a couple minutes usually does not work. It is somewhat easy right now but we will see how it goes as they get bigger.

Caroline ready to go to church. She is in her Bolivian outfit and I just thought she looked so cute!

My parents have this cute baby buggy and I finally remembered to take a picture of the 2 of them in there before they got too big. As you can see, Caroline was hanging over the edge before we adjusted her a little farther in it.

They don't look so excited about this

Gwen saw me holding Addison on my shoulder and she picked up Caroline to do the same. Just when I think Gwen has done everything cute with these girls she can possibly do she does another cute thing. She also still says a lot "they are so small" or "look at their hands, they are so small." I can't get enough of Gwen's interactions with them. Love it!

Aunt Elsa taking a nap with Addison

Taking a nap at home. I think they look the most similar when they are sleeping. Can you tell who is who???

Answer: Caroline is on the left and Addison is on the right.

The hazard of sleeping right next to someone who likes to either have their arms totally stretched out to the side or above their head. Don't worry, Addison can breath. I checked. Actually, they are rarely this close when they sleep anymore but we were on the couch so I had them closer together since there is not as much room.

Here is a continuation of the "modern mom"...the "modern dad" with twins. Who said you can't check fantasy sports while taking care of 2 babies!
