Eighteen Months Old!!

Wow, where did the time go? Today Anna and Max turned eighteen months old. Although it seemed as though this day would never arrive, I fear that I am going to wake up tomorrow and they will be two!

Not so little anymore, my babies walk them selves to the car and can climb up into their car seats, they now open the door to the basement and go down when they like (we always follow), they also open the pantry door and help themselves to a snack, but they are still little enough to enjoy a bottle, snuggle with Mommy and Daddy, sleep in the fetal position with a stuffed animal and look at Jon and as though there are no better parents in the world. They are learning so much about the world around them and I feel so blessed that I get to watch them grow.

This is a picture from their first night home. We kept trying to get a picture without Jon's hand in it, but my favorite shot is now the very one with his hand. Look how tiny!

This is Anna and Max tonight before bed. Anna's jammy top says it all.


Anna loves her new undies and actually totes them around when she isn't wearing them. I think she likes the feel of soft cotton.

Max on the other hand could care less. Anna actually insisted on wearing a pair of his yesterday.
Here is a picture of the very first art projects they brought home from school! Each kite has a beautiful scribble. They have since pulled off every sticker!
