Happy Birthday-September 16th



Ok ok, here it is. I was going to do this on their birthday but then Courtney came so the event stretched out through the weekend. So...drum roll...Addison and Marcus are ONE!!!

Birthday morning-gearing up to open presents


Katie was ever so helpful with opening the presents


Addy in the tutu I made her


Their birthmother, Courtney, and birthbrother, Jab, can out on Friday to spend the weekend with us. We had lots of fun hanging out around the house playing with 4 little monsters.


We had cake on Friday with Courtney and Jab, Sarah and Talia came over to eat some too. I ran out of time so the cake isn't as pretty as it should have been but it was so good (I know I am bragging)--homemade carrot cake with cream cheese frosting

Marcus and Addy trying to get the lit candles--Katie is ready to help blow them out.



We took them to the doctor on Thurs for their 12 month check-up. Addy was 21.8lbs and Marcus was 26.8 lbs. It is hard to believe that one year ago I was having a hard time getting 2 oz/feeding down him and he now outweighs Addy by 5 lbs. Marcus is also one inch taller then Addy. I would say that Addy is now officially walking, she doesn't do it all the time, but she can make it across a room if she wants to. She still isn't talking but likes to yell and give us some attitude with shaking her head and raising her hands in the air. Marcus will walk when he holds onto our hands (something the princess would never do) and has stood alone a couple times.

How did you make the tu-tu? I just bought some tulle to try and make one, but haven't figured out how to do it just yet. I guess I could get a pattern, but why make it so easy?
