A Year in the Life!

The girls' first birthday was last weekend! It was a pretty large gathering. We invited people who have been part of our lives for a long time and those that have been part of our journey to parenthood.

For one thing I know, people just can't help but love Annie and Nessa. With Thanksgiving next week, Chris and I are thankful for so very much. Our girls have brought a joy to our lives that we have never experienced before. Although at times cranky, needy, and a bit exasperating (aren't all babies?) they are pretty happy and absolutely love to dance!

At their 1yr checkup, the girls are still tracking the same. Generally, in the 70-80 percentile in weight, 40ish percentile in height and head circumferance.

I can't believe it has been a year already. I plan on learning more from them in the next year to come!

Happy Halloween!

Costumes on babies are so cute. We flew down to SF on the actual day of Halloween so we had two pairs of costumes. They were adored everywhere we went!

Unfortunately, they acquired hand foot mouth disease and had fevers which was not fun at all. It was a draining yrip but we were able to hold a small birthday party with Chris' family.

When they are not cranky, their personalities are so entertaining! Vanessa can be a bit of a ham in the limelight but it's still cute right now. Annie is quite the escape artist and wants to climb everything!

On a random note, the SF Giants won the world series? In strolling around Burlingame, I had them in orange and black. People loved them even more.
