One Year Old!!!

Sorry for being so late on updating the blog. Things have been a bit busy here! The big news, of course, is that Liv and Will are now 1! (well, actually 12.5 months since I'm so late in getting this updated!)

My little toddlers are growing fast! At their 12 month check-up, Will weighed 22 lbs, and Liv 18.5 lbs. Will is at 13% height and 23% weight. Liv is at 9% height and 12% weight. They say mama, dada, moo, and bye bye...plus lots of their own private language! They love to walk with their push-around toys, but not yet on their own. Liv keeps practicing standing on her own though, so it probably won't be long! Will can practically fly up a full set of stairs now, so we are doing a lot of baby-proofing!

Early in September, I had to fly to Taiwan for work. Its so hard to be away from my little angels! Luckily, Oma was able to come over almost every day to help while I was away. Theresa had only been with us a couple of weeks at that point, but she handled it very well!

We spent the second half of September in Indiana. I had meetings at Purdue, family get-togethers, and a wedding to attend, all which timed nicely with their pending birthdays. Will and Liv LOVED the cows, and learned to say moo. They also learned other fun "tricks" while we were there, such as blowing kisses, giving high 5, waving bye-bye. We had their first birthday party at Mamaw and Papaw's house on October 3rd, with a Dr. Suess "Thing 1 Thing 2" theme. Quite a mess, but lots of fun!

We celebrated back in Norfolk with a second party on October 10th, with a barnyard/farm theme. Like before, quite a mess, but lots of fun! Grandpa Nemo flew in to celebrate with us!

We're now working on transitioning from formula to milk (which is going well, and will likely be fully transitioned next week!). The next step will be getting rid of bottles altogether, so we're really working on sippy cups now. They're also doing well with finger food, but might still be another month or two before we fully get rid of baby food. Lots of changes coming up!

I hope they are this interested in laundry when they are older!
