On May 8th, the twins turned 1! As everyone tell us, " we survived the first year!" Honestly it is a blur. The main thing I can recall, is that it was busy. I have a lot of neighbors having babies and I listen to them tell stories about the lack of sleep, eating every 3 hours, etc. And it makes me a little sad. I never went through that with Mac and Lily. Don't get me wrong...part of it I enjoyed. But I missed the whole newborn phase with them. It seems weird and like I missed something. Because once they came home, of course they got thrown into the chaos and I think they had to grow up fast. And they did. They are both becoming their own little people and the personalities are really starting to show.
MAC
Mac...discovered early on...about 9 months, that he could start moving. He mastered an army crawl and planking and by 11 months was crawling. Once he starting moving, her realized how great it was and it made him much happier. He still is a sensitive boy, though. He is the skinny one, and is way to active and unfocused to eat. Took him sometime to try baby food,but is now loving finger foods. He prefers it over baby food. Mac is always moving and starting to pull himself up. He has started to fight back with Lily and will take her bottle since she does the same to him. He cries whenever I am in the room...wants to crawl all over me on the floor, and is the happiest when I am not around.
LILY
Lily...she didn't figure out the crawling until about 11-12months. She started with a simple army crawl, but preferred to roll to get where she was going. She soon realized she wanted to keep up with her brother and joined it about a month ago. Only to have broke her femur(on mother's day...another story, and not my proudest mommy moment) and is back to her rolling. She has figured out how to crawl and drag the leg behind her. She is a chunk...only compared to Mac, and loves to eat, but will have nothing to do with real food. She knows how to tease her brother and has started playing peek-a-boo by covering her face with one hand...very cute. Lily is still a happy baby...even with the broken leg. She will cry when she sees me, more of a whimper, and is a spitting image of Taylor as a baby.
