1 Year Old!

I was delinquent on my post this month. Things have been busy since we returned from Vancouver on the weekend. On Sunday, we had a small party to celebrate the girls first birthday. They had a fabulous time, as did everyone else.

As everyone says when their child(ren) hit one, "I can't believe how fast the time went!" It seems like just yesterday that I held our itty bitty babies for the first time.

May 29, 2011: Holding my girls together for the first time

May 29, 2012: Look at them now!

• Quinn has started walking unassisted. While she's not super stable just yet, she will usually take a few steps per day. She likes to get places quickly so she'll often drop down and crawl like the wind instead. Teagan hasn't shown any interest in walking on her own just yet. She walks a ton with the help of a walking toy or our hands. 

• Both girls have 4 teeth (2 bottom, 2 top)! 

• Teagan has proved to be quite the dancer! I will post a video soon because it's too good not to share. One of their toys in Vancouver played all sorts of songs. Teagan was fond of one in particular and would play it on repeat. She would gently sway until her favourite part came on. She would then break out into a full on bounce/dance. 

• Another Teagan update...We joke that she has taken to speaking Russian. She will sometimes babble in this very throaty way. Hmm does that make sense? I've been sitting here trying to explain how she sounds. Perhaps another video is necessary...maybe she could dance speaking Russian. 

Here are a few pictures from their birthday party on the weekend:

Typical Quinn...she grabbed a massive handful!

Teagan quite enjoyed it too!
