It's hard to believe, but Ava and Kennedy are almost a year old! It makes me so sad to know that I'm never going to get that time back but at the same time, it makes me incredibly happy to have experienced their first year with them. I know I'm biased, but they really are two of the most amazing kids in the world. Their personalities are so stinking adorable and I am so lucky to call them my daughters.
People keep asking me what the girls are doing these days...
Aside from the things I already listed in the last post, both girls are doing so many things. Ava loves to bark when you ask her what a doggy says and will moo when we ask her what a cow says. Kennedy makes monkey noises when we ask her what a monkey does, which is quite appropriate for her b/c she really is a little monkey...she LOVES to climb things. They both know where their hair and mouths are and will point to it when we ask them. They will sign for more when they want more to eat or want me to read another story. Ava likes to bring books to me and then back up into my lap until she's sitting on it. SO cute! Oh yeah...and they are WALKING! Both girls started walking on the same day. They had both taken 5-6 steps at a time but never more than that, then one day this week Ava just walked across the living room and not much later, Kennedy was doing the same thing. They haven't stopped since. Both girls are really little for their age so it looks odd to see them walking. They look closer to 8 or 9 months; people are going to think we have little geniuses on our hands.
We're having a family birthday party for Kennedy and Ava next Saturday and I just can't believe it's here already. Hard to believe that I started this blog over a year ago and would sit here typing with my enormous belly, just dreaming of the day my two little girls would be here. Crazy!
