In some ways, the past year has flown by, but in some ways I can't believe it has only been a year. A year ago, I never would have imagined that we would be able to incorporate 2 babies into our family with such ease. Of course we had a couple rough patches, but for the most part having these girls has been so much easier than I even could have imagined. These girls were an answered prayer, and I give thanks to God everyday for my 3 healthy, happy girls.
Both little girls are walking, and we do not have bottles anymore. They have started to eat their yogurt with a spoon, love to be outside, and love bath time.

Audrey Echols how did I get a blonde, blue-eyed kid? You are extremely social, and do not like to be left alone. Most kids your age play by themselves, but not you. You like to interact and play with someone...mostly Lila. You are a great eater; haven't met anything yet you don't like. You are so predictable. Everyday at 11:30 and 5:30 you get hangry and if you don't have food, you throw a fit so intense that I have gotten called from daycare and they thought you were in pain. I said "no, just give her something to eat" Works like magic. You love to climb and are smart; you know when you are doing something wrong and you will glance back to see if anyone is watching you. I will watch you on the cameras at school and you are always front and center, you already know your body parts. Favorite toy right now is blocks and bowls. You are a little needy, however that has gotten a little better now that we can communicate a little more. You are also a good little dramatic actress. You will come up and sit behind me and pretend to cry so I will pick you up. I will say, "Oh, now, come on Drama" and you will start to laugh...and you like to fake sneeze, and of course you like to blow kisses just to melt our hearts. You also love to go anywhere. The minute you see your shoes, you start waving, and when we open the door you get so excited and squeal.

My little nugget. Oh, how I love that expressive little face of yours, and that big tummy. You are such a happy baby. You are a good self entertainer, and are very low maintenance. You love to "talk", and speak something that resembles Japanese. Any object becomes your phone and you walk around jabbering, and will stop and laugh and throw your head back, and then come hand me the phone. I could watch you for hours. I don't think it is fair that you eat about half of what your sister does, but you weigh more. You are trying to run and jump. I have caught you twice jumping in your bed. Your favorite toy right now is the phone, and the kitchen. You seem to like shoes. I have noticed you trying to put on my shoes and Lila's shoes. You can blow kisses, but you will also give big hugs. And, if I tell you no, you burst into tears. You have already been caught pulling hair and pushing your sister, but beware, she is starting to push back, and I think she may be a biter, so look out. At home you are so independent, but when we go somewhere you become shy and want to be held.
