11 Months

Today my girls turned 11 months old. I think I am going to have a rough month. My babies are turning into little toddlers and it is killing me. I hate to think about the fact I may never have another baby. My girls are to busy to sit and snuggle and they are far from the helpless baby that does nothing other than eat, sleep, and dirty their diaper! We are crawling, babbling, walking around objects, climbing, eating baby food, and INTO IT ALL!!!!!

We have even figured out how to push or pull the walk through gate door and crawl through if it isn't latched tight.

The girls are doing great developmentally considering they were 11 weeks premature. They are still adjusting to me keeping another baby but for the most part they do good with him. I am so thankful that I have been blessed with healthy growing babies. I thank God daily for them and for allowing me to be able to stay at home and enjoy them.
