I don't even know where to begin to describe what this last year has been like with these two crazy wonderful twins. Everyday it felt like there was something new for us to love about them from their silly antics to their love of their family. I took a quick glimpse of their two year birthday post and I couldn't believe they were once so little.
It's funny how each year on the day before their birthday I think about how I was feeling that night, feeling them wiggle and move not knowing that it was going to be one of the last times. Going into the hospital thinking that I may be sent home again only to hear my doctor say it was time to meet our girls. Now here we are three years later and I can't help but feel so much love for these girls. Finding out we were having twins was such a surprise and each day we thank God we were picked to be their parents.
Charlotte - Our baby B our Charlotte Ann Faith... just ask Olivia and she will tell you. Charlotte is still very much entertainment for us, she is always finding something to make us laugh from her silly faces to her crazy dance moves. She surprises us daily with what she has picked up and learned just from our normal conversations. One day she just rambled off her A, B, C's mixed in with twinkle twinkle little star. She loves to count and trick mama with skipping 4 and going straight to 5; she loves to say eleven and twelve mixed in with her other numbers and laughs about it every time. She had surgery to remove a possible left over pice of a tic she had on her shoulder, everything turned out fine and she did great handling the surgery. She got her first hair cut complete with bangs and looked so darn adorable. She loves to tumble and practice gymnastics moves that Madison has taught her and has even tried out some moves she has seen during the olympics. She is adventurous and very willing to try new things so much so that we have found her climbing in chairs and on the shelf in the pantry. At times she can be seen as the "leader" of the twins giving instructions on what to do and how to do it and other times she follows after Olivia. She loves to draw and I smile when I can see her creative mind at work. She is great at using her imagination while playing with her sisters and we often hear her pretending she is mom to Livy. This girl is so full of life and love we just can't imagine our lives without her.
We love you so much Charlotte Happy 3rd Birthday!
Olivia - Baby Girl A - Olivia Marie Grace our smallest baby girl. She continues to be our little one
but you would never guess she was born 5 week early and weighed only 4 pounds. She is full of energy and runs around the house with her "livy bounce" and her blond curls bouncing right along. She loves to pretend she is batman while Charlotte is superman and they are both here to rescue us all. She is the quiet one, usually because she is observing what is going on around her before she decides if she wants to join in. She has a sensitive side that can lead to some tears when she doesn't get to make the decisions. She is a mama's girl when it comes to mama going shopping or leaving the house and a daddys' girl when it comes to bed time and the opportunity to cuddle. Miss Olivia is still very outspoken and will let you know when she is not happy, she loves to do things for herself so you better ask her before you do something for her. She is not much of a morning girl and loves to cuddle when she wakes up. She loves her dolphin pillow and her minnie blanket. Livy also loves to draw and color, she asks pretty much every single day if she can color. She has also come to love books and would have us read all night long if she could. She has a powerful imagination right along side Charlotte which leads to some very creative play between the two of them. Olivia brings so much joy and laughter to our lives, we are so blessed to have her as part of our family.
Happiest of Birthday's Olivia we love you!
Together these two girls experienced many firsts during their 3rd year of life, they had their first hair cuts and their first dentist appointment and even swam for the first time. They gave up their pacifiers and became completely potty trained. The started sleeping in big girl beds and became big sisters.
One the best things about twins is seeing them interact with each other. Knowing that these girls will always have a best friend to grow with makes our hearts so unbelievably happy. They are great sisters to each other and their other three sisters our lives have surely been blessed by having them in it. We love you so much baby girls!
