weekend review

We had such a fun weekend!  Nana came to visit, and Kirby was so excited for her to be in Houston, TX - we all were!  Kirby started talking when Pam walked in the door Friday afternoon and didn't stop until she left for San Antonio this morning.  

Saturday, we went to the downtown aquarium.  It was a hit!  

The girls loved the carousel - William wasn't so sure about it, though. 

After naps, William got his first haircut!!!  His hair wasn't long by any means, but it was getting a little mullet-like in the back.  Gita, the hairdresser, gave William a sucker when we put him in the chair, and he didn't move a muscle the entire time!

where have our babies gone?

I guess because they are walking all over the place, it has hit me that M & W are growing up!  Everyone told us that the 1st year with twins would be a blur, and it's so true!  They just seem so big all of the sudden - I guess referring to them as "the babies" won't work for much longer. 

Maggie and William roam all over the house and are SO proud of themselves.   Have you ever seen a bigger smile?

They are turning out to be quite the climbers, too.  After I took this picture, William sat down on the arm of the chair and fell backward, but thanks to my cat-like reflexes (don't laugh too hard), I caught him before he hit the ground.

Maggie LOVES to eat more than anything, and she's not picky.  She'll cram anything you put in front of her in her mouth.  The past few nights, however, she did stop cramming to clasp her sweet little hands when we said the blessing and said "Aw-mayo" at the end of the prayer.

William is ALL boy and is obsessed with wheels already!  Every time the dishwasher was open this weekend, he was right there checking out how the rack moved back and forth.  As "boy" as he is, he's the biggest snuggler in our family - I hope he always wants to hug on his momma so much!

we're all walkin'

Maggie is walking and is SOOOO proud of herself - we are, too!  She's taken a couple of steps here and there over the last few weeks, but she really took off this weekend and I got it on video! 

She and William were so funny - they would crawl to the chair, sit, then stand up and walk to the couch.  They took turns doing it over and over.  We had so much fun watching and cheering them on!!  Maggie and William were clapping for each other.  It's really amazing to see them together - they are precious - playing, fighting, picking on each other. 

We have a walker!!!
