Mama and Julia!  

We had such a special time celebrating the twins 1st birthday!  We had a pretty pink party at the park right across the street from our house!  It was a beautiful day!  

I can't believe it's been a whole year.  I keep thinking this week about how a year ago little sweet Ainsley was in the NICU...and what a hard time that was for us.  And look how far we've come now!  

Ashley consistently does things before Ainsley.  Right now they are both sitting up on their own.  Ashley can sit herself up, Ainsley needs help!  They both have four teeth (two upper front teeth and two bottom front teeth).  They both just discovered clapping...and how fun that is!  They are repeating sounds and words!  They love, love, LOVE it when their big sisters play with them!  They are both such sweet girls, with mild dispositions.  They still sleep in the same crib together--it's adorable!  

Happy birthday sweet girls!  I can't wait to see what this next year brings!
