Babies and a Baby Shower

It's hard to believe its been a month since I've updated! It's like August didn't even happen with how quickly it disappeared. The girls are getting so big and changing so much, but I'm really enjoying their current stage- they are so much fun and have so much personality already. I'm disappointed to say that we still aren't walking but I know it'll happen eventually. Oh, and I am so looking forward to seeing the twins walk down the aisle in the flower girl dresses I've made! We also only have 2 teeth still.. Seems so strange, 13 whole months and only 2 little teeth to eat all that food. But they have been super clingy and grouchy lately so I have feeling their teeth will decide to make an appearance all at once.

The twins love books. All day long they will bury themselves in the book nook just flipping through them all, pointing and chattering at the pictures. Some of their other current favorite things include: being able to shut the doors, flipping light switches on and off, giving kisses, and pulling out everything from the cupboards. The girls have added DOG and HELLO to their vocabulary, it's hilarious that every animal they see is a "doog." Breanna got them a cozy coupe for their birthday and after waiting a month for Joe to assemble it, I decided to try myself- SUCCESS! And oh boy do they love that car. They fight to be the one inside, push it all around, and even tip it over and use it like a jungle gym. It is so sweet to see them play together. I think as an adult we forget how great the simplest things are such as hiding behind the curtains and laughing with your sister or playing follow the leader as you crawl in and around the dining table- and find it hilarious! I think they are really lucky to always have a friend around to play with, even though they fight all the time over everything, they go from tears to giggles within seconds.

I've been having so much fun helping my mom plan my cousin's baby shower! I've made all sorts of things for the games we are going to play and I made my first diaper cake! I hope she likes it.
I can't wait for the party and all the fun things I have planned but I have to keep reminding myself that I need to relax that day, haha. I met a woman recently who is expecting twins and I felt this need to tell her everything I did and all my experiences, and I think I overwhelmed her! I always want to share how I've managed to do things, not because I feel like I know it all but because I took pieces of what other moms told me and from things I read and came up with a plan that has helped us be successful, so I'd love for other moms to have that as well. But in reality, everyone's experiences and plans are different and I need to let them come up with those on their own. So I promise to be good and only give my 2 cents when asked for it. =)
