I really can’t believe my girls are already 13 months old! I think the last month flew by in a couple of days. I put them in new outfits today, so I thought I’d attempt pictures before morning naps. Luckily, Taylor came home to trade vehicles so I took advantage of having a second person. They cried through most of these pictures (I even posted one of them crying – that’s rare for me), but I think we got a couple cute ones… so the chaos and insanity were worth it… I guess. They are growing up so fast and are doing new things everyday. I am really good at keeping a 1 year calendar up to date, but once the year is up… I don’t have a good place to document what’s new… so here’s the latest on each of them. They are both off the bottle, walking/running, climbing, starting to talk, jumping (bouncing), dancing, wearing 12-18 mo clothes, and size 4 shoes.

Brighton is so stinkin’ cute. She’s a half inch taller than Hallie 29.5 in and weights a whopping 20 lbs. She is a lightweight, you pick her up and she flies. She is a little monkey, she is really good at wrapping her long skinny legs around you when your holding her. She has 8 teeth, 4 top & 4 bottom. She is a tough little thing and learns super quick by following Cole’s lead… like pushing the bar stools around and trying to climb up them. She is a little lap lander, backing in and plopping on anything that could remotely be used as a chair. She says mom, dad, hi, blows raspberries, moo’s like a cow, makes monkey noises, horsey noises, sheep noises, and a bunch of jibber jabber. She is hilarious though when she picks up a remote, phone, or anything shaped like a phone, puts it to her ear, and says “HI” over and over again. She waves, points, and is amazing at the shape sorter & stacking blocks.

Hallie is so fun right now. She is 29″ tall and weighs 22.5 lbs. She has 10 teeth, 6 top (including 2 molars), and 4 bottom. She has cute chubby cheeks and a cute little belly that I couldn’t love more. She thinks she is so funny. She loves to sit/stand in corners and just giggles at herself like she has done something amazing. She is already starting to show her little temper with tantrums by throwing herself on the floor and kicking her legs, or punching her arms down to her sides and yelling emphatically until her face turns red when she doesn’t get what she wants. She says mom, dad, duck/dog, up, quack, barks/grunts, moo, monkey sounds, sheep sounds, chicken sounds, and a bunch of jibber jabber. She opens Cole’s car laptop and types like she’s a big girl… it’s hilarious!

Here’s the pics we had printed for mother’s day!
