This video is a bit long (4 minutes), but it is so cute I had to share. The babies are really learning to play together and sometimes they are just laughing and chasing each other around. I was able to record them without them knowing I was there (which is very hard, they always seem to spot me when I am spying on them! haha).

Emerson's Walking!
Well, like I said, Emerson actually started "walking" before Ryan, by just a week or so, but this is the first time I was able to get her on video! Don't blink or you'll miss it!

Ryan's Walking!
Emerson actually started walking before Ryan, but we have yet to get her on camera doing it, but Ryan is right behind her! Here he is taking a few steps!

Some Christmas Pictures
Well, our first Christmas (home) with the babies was not all that exciting! LOL They don't really "get it", but it was special to us anyway!

Our Santa Pictures!
Posted by Cindy at 10:49 AM 2 comments
Lots of pictures!
I have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to update much. I still can't believe we made it to a year already! It's kind of sad to see them grow so fast. I see their little baby outfits from last year and I still can't believe they were so small. They have really grown so much already. At their one year check up, Emerson was 21 lbs and 31 inches. Ryan was 20 lbs and 29.5 inches. Yes, sister has outgrown her big brother, but I'm sure he'll catch up! They have been on the verge of walking for quite some time now. Emerson had actually taken up to 7 steps on her own, but mostly 2 or 3 then she falls. I think she is just not confident enough yet. Ryan has taken 1 or 2 steps at a time, and he's still trying to figure out if he can do it or not. They both stand without holding on to anything, and Emerson can get into standing position without holding on to anything - pretty impressive! Their language has really taken off over the last month. Emerson is saying Dada, Baba, Mama, and we think she is saying Santa, no, really! Everytime she sees a Santa she says "danta". I think because we have said it a thousand times to them. She babbles all day long, like she is having a conversation. Ryan says Dada, baba, mama (well, I've heard mama a couple of times anyway!) He also has been pointing at everything! When we say "where's the tree?" he points to the Christmas tree and he'll point to Mama, Dada, stockings(on the fireplace), light and fan. He also says "dat" whenever he is pointing to something. Emerson is still our little fiesty one - she loves music and she is a head banger anytime she hears it. She gets so excited! Ryan just learned to shake his head "no" - uh oh! He is getting to be a little fussier than usual, I think it's the separation anxiety setting in. Hmmm, I always wanted to be the center of someone's universe, well now that I am, I'm not so sure I like it! LOL Well, enjoy the pictures!
Miss Em
What am I supposed to do with this?
Do I eat it or play with it?

Pretty Balloons!
Emmy says "I'm one!"
He's all boy... he doesn't mind making a mess!
Emerson, on the other hand, is not so sure...

We're almost there!
We almost have a walker on our hands! The babies have been cruising for about a month now, and they are starting to let go and stand unassisted for a few seconds here and there. We decided to get them a "walker" to practice and this is a video of Ryan, it's his first attempt and check him out! Go Ryan!!

Oh, this isn't the bathtub?
