Wow, the girls have been taking what Chris calls "falling steps" towards me for a while but today Annie definitely took some strides across the living room area. It's a happy moment but a little bittersweet as it is an example that these times go so very fast. Nessa is not too far away from walking either.
They are definitely comprehending more of what you say now and it seems they are starting to mimic sounds. They are ever so chatty and they really love to dance to music. I'm pretty sure they know the word 'milk' as they know to go lie down in their boppy pillows when the bell rings (to signal the milk is done warming). Nessa definitely know the sign language signs for 'milk' and 'more'. Annie does the signs sometimes but not as consistently as Nessa. I think Annie is trying to verbalize things more - Nessa grunts when she's unhappy.
Annie has taken to just sit with me sometimes watching tv, which I love and makes my heart melt. Nessa has definitely become attacked to Tyson, the stuffed boxer dog, which totally melts Chris' heart.
It is so amazing watching these two sweet girls grow right in front of your eyes. I don't have any pictures or videos to share as I was just in the moment.
No new pic tonight but I'm posting another photo from the other night. I think it captures what I'm trying to do every moment I'm with them...cherish and love them. With the terrifying ordeal in Connecticut, if anything unexpected were to happen, I want to know that I tried to focus on the important things, which have nothing to do with money and are indeed priceless.
Our twin girls, Annelise and Vanessa, are now the center of our lives. This is what happens as they grow up and teach us a thing or two about being parents!

Sleepy time for our 13 month olds!
Time seems to be gaining speed as you see how fast the girls are changing. Annie is almost ready to walk...she just needs the confidence. Nessa doesn't care to walk at times...she seems to prefer crawling still. Hopefully, they walk before Grandma and Grandpa leave for their Philippines trip. We sure are going to miss them!
They are chatter boxes when they are in the mood and they are starting to sleep through the night in their cribs! More so for Annie as Nessa still wants to be in bed with Mommy and Daddy. It's a tough call as they are babies for such a short time but sleeping a little longer is helping Mommy's sanity.
