What's Up Life: It can't be.. but it really is...11 Months

I haven't decided which is harder, the babies turning one (of course they aren't yet... but its just the thought) or the fact that they are 11 Months and I have to live the entire next 31 days knowing they will be ONE!!!

Its been a great month filled with lots of changes for the babies and yes some sickness!

Olivia ~
This girl she is an absolute joy her smile and crinkle of her nose can brighten any ones day. Her wild hair is growing so much and getting longer we even got a little pony in her hair! She absolutely loves to stand and is walking so well with her walking toy ~ but always looks back with a big smile on her face to make sure someone is watching her, she's even taken a few little tiny steps on her own!!! She has become quite the talker always babbling on about something especially when she wakes up in the morning. I love to hear her and Charlotte talk to each other in the mornings over the monitor. Her favorite words are Dada, yayayaya, baba, and Mama (but only when she is crying!) She has become a big eater over the last few weeks sometimes I wonder if I am feeding her enough!! She loves to watch her sister get into things... take part in what Charlotte is doing... then act as if she didn't do anything wrong when we catch them! She is still the observer most of the time but I have realized she very much like her daddy and big sister Madison in so many ways her little personality is full of spunk and excitement but she is such the cuddled when she is wanting some love.
This little spirit is nothing short of amazing I am so excited to see what the next month brings for this little one. We love you Olivia!

Charlotte~
A month of more sickness with this girl (here) - I feel so bad for her she has been sick almost every week of the last 6 weeks. She still has no teeth but I am seeing the light or the little teeth... but I am pretty sure I said that at 10 months!! Either way she has all of the symptoms of teething so fingers crossed for this little one! Charlotte has a new love for "babies" and "stuffies" she immediately hugs and kisses on them and it is one of the most adorable things I have ever seen. We are seeing some of the cutest little curls starting to form in her hair and I just love it; how can you not love little baby curls! Charlotte also loves to talk and make all kinds of noises her favorite is to scream when she wants something so we are working on some sign langue which she things is really funny!! This girl is quite the character always trying something new, climbing the stairs, throwing things, banging on things, and just being an over all comedian. She is also walking really well with her walking toy and taking small steps. We have taught her to raise her arms in the air when we say "GOAL" and she holds her hands out when we say "I don't know"! Always making us laugh this one! She too is a great little cuddler and everyone wants to be the one to hold her when she's sleepy and cuddly.
This girl is always filling our hearts with joy and a faces with smiles. We love you Charlotte!

The bond these girls share is so amazing to watch~ Charlotte likes to crawl behind Olivia while she crawls even faster giggling to get away from her. Its amazing how they learn things from each other ~ Olivia first started walking with the walking toy and Charlotte watched her for days and finally she stood up and started taking steps... how the heck did she know to do that! I am just blown away watching them play with and talk to each other. Today they were eating in their high chairs and both started coughing at the same time they looked at each other and made one more cough together! I love having twins and I absolutely love having two older sisters that love spending time with them. I am one blessed mama!
