One Already?!?!?!?

The babies celebrated their First Birthday on December 4th.  I am still in shock that a year has passed by already. They have been so much fun to play with and watch grow.  They are the perfect fit into our family.  

Things I can do at age one (Grant):

Make adorable noises and even attempt to say a few words like: Bye Bye, Hello, Cracker, No

Clap my hands

Click my tongue

Wave Bye Bye

Torture my sister

Follow everyone everywhere

Give hugs

Brush my hair

Walk really, really fast

Play peek-a-boo

Smile just right to melt your heart

Things I can do at age one (Daphne):

Make hilarious faces

Sing

Dance

Wave Bye Bye

Fend off my brother

Try to put headbands and necklaces on

Smack my lips when I'm hungry

Eat lots of stuff

Be just as cute as possible 24/7

Take my shoes and socks off

Clap my hands

We didn't overdo it for the babies' birthdays. We have learned you often end up celebrating by yourself because they could care less, but we knew balloons would be a hit.  We got them one present each, a dog that walks, barks and flips over.  They didn't react as we had hoped they would but considering the week Grant had in the hospital and Daphne on her way to being really sick, we couldn't ask for too much.  

Although Grant did not want much to do with his cake, Daphne was willing to give it a try and even pucker up for the camera.  Mavaney & Granny made mini star & heart shaped cakes, but I forgot to get a picture.  And yes Sybil, there was icing on it.  

Of course baths were needed after cake and I had fun messing up their hair after drying it and just had to take some pictures.  In the side profile picture Daphne is making one of her funny faces where she sticks out her neck and pushes her lips together. She's so hilarious.
