Where did the time go?





Tyson and Chelsie turned a year old on February 1st! I can't believe how quick that went by! I can't believe I made it a whole year nursing 2 babies! It was bitter-sweet to wean them but it was also surprisingly easy. (my other 2 not so much)

10 things about Tyson:

1. He does everything with his tounge hanging out
2. He crawls over anything in his way, including Chelsie
3. He can make brilliant noises with his tounge (clicking, rolling, waging, etc)
4. He loves his mama and always want to be held by me and only me
5. He was the first to say mama and still yells it at me when he wants food
6. He steals anything Chelsie is holding and any food she has left on her tray if his is empty
7. He loves bath time and splashes up a storm (lookout Chelsie)
8. He pulls off his pants and throws them and his blanket out of the crib if I take too long getting them up after they wake up
9. He has the sadest cry- you can't help but pick him up and give him a snuggle
10. He has a funny laugh but you have to work pretty hard to get him going


10 things about Chelsie

1. She is the most giggley baby I have ever seen! She laughs long and loud and free
2. She let Tyson take all of her stuff with nothing but a "uh" in protest and then moves on
3. She has a great set of lungs and can really wail
4. She loves to be held and will let anyone hold her
5. She loves to play pat-a-cake and was able to do all the motions by 9 mo's
6. She says "mmmm" after every bite of food and shakes her head when she is done
7. She gives nice wet open mouth kisses (sweet)
8. She weighed 5 oz. less than Tyson at birth and now it is more than 5 lbs. less
9. She smiles for the camera (although it is a bit of a funny expression it is the same everytime)
10. She cut all of her teeth at one time. she went from 0 to 7 then to 12 with the other 4 on their
way!

It has been so fun to see two babies grow up at the same time. to see their different personalities and a very distinct difference between a boy and a girl. While the beginning was very difficult and tireing ( and I know there is more where that came from), the blessings really are double! I love you Tyson and Chelsie! Happy Birthday!

Whoops, had to redo this. Happy belated birthday, Tyson and Chelsie! (Jera, you're totally my hero nursing the twins for a whole year!)

They sound like super sweet kids... I love watching babies develop their personality and it sounds like twice the fun for you.

oH My gosh, I can not believe your twins are 1... That just means I moved out of Johnson Ranch a year ago.... wow! I miss my house. Sounds like you are doing so well and your kids are so cute.
