One month away from our first birthday! It’s a nearly impossible task to get two 11-month-olds to sit still, which makes our photo shoots hilarious 🙂

We are loving our books more and more.  We are also getting into everything!  We know exactly which cupboard holds our food!

We are cutting even more teeth, and starting to understand a lot more words (like fan, kitty, Luna, light, mommy, daddy, sister, brother, cookie…)

For Mother’s Day we made Omi a card.  It was our first time painting!  It was homemade paint so it was edible, which is good, because you can see what happens when you tell Aurelia “Not in your mouth”.

Avery really got into it, and he seemed to know it wasn’t for eating, but was for the paper.

The finished products.  Avery’s is on the left, Aurelia’s on the right.  Any takers on interpretations, from a Modern Art perspective?

Look who is standing all by herself!  She loves to practice standing up!

It’s rare when we pass out on a bed in the middle of the day, so mommy always makes sure to take a picture to remember that it did actually happen.

We had a great mother’s day!  We spoiled mommy with a dustbuster 😉

And then a potluck/campfire with family at the lake.  Aurelia made fast friends with Brook.

The weather is getting nice and so is our backyard!  Mom and dad have been working hard on pulling weeds and planting flowers, and they even gave us a fun swing!

We had so much fun meeting cousin Shannon and Brook!  We had dinner with them, and Aurelia even held her own spoon!

One more month to go until we have made our first trip around the sun!
