We are 11 months old today!




Our babies are now 11 months old. Time is flying by! Over this past month, they have been surprising Greg and I everyday with new things they are learning. They have both been able to wave for a month or so, but in the past few weeks, we've noticed they are now associating the hand motion to the phrase, "Bye, Bye." Both are not afraid to let go of furniture or whatever they are holding onto and take off on their own walking. Leah is a little more advanced when it comes to walking, but Evan is trying to not be outdone by his "little sister." When we say, "Throw the ball," Evan will throw the ball with his left hand (Greg is excited that Evan has been consistently throwing it with his left hand. He's hoping that he will be a left-handed major league pitcher someday.) They both also put play telephones up to their ears and babble into the phone. It's too cute to watch! They chase each other around the house (as you maybe have seen in the prior post videos). Leah and Evan have tried eating more adult foods like hamburger pieces, rice, toast with butter, and chicken to name a few. Greg and I are excited that we will be saving a significant amount of money after their first birthday due to them being able to start drinking milk instead of smelly formula! We go through a large container of formula (from Costco) in about a week. Just one of those is $28.00 and we usually buy two at once. Thanks to those who have given me Similac coupons.....every little bit helps!

Their one year birthday will be a Mickey and Minnie Mouse theme. Both of the kids LOVE Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and their favorite part is the "Hot Dog" song at the end of the show. It doesn't matter where they are in the house; when they hear the song, their faces just light up. I thought it would be cute to have them be Mickey and Minnie Mouse for their first Halloween! I can't wait to see them in their costumes.

Happy 11 month birthday to our babies!
