Tomorrow we are having a Thing 1 and Thing 2 Dr. Seuss party and I have probably gone a little overboard with decorations but it has been SO much fun to have a theme and to roll with it...guess that's the teacher coming out in me ;o)

Happy 1st Birthday!!
I CANNOT believe that my little guys are a year old today!! We had a great time celebrating their milestone starting with a pancake breakfast (complete with number 1 candle) and then we were off to the zoo! It was a little chilly but we bundled up and enjoyed looking at and talking to all of the animals. We were so thankful that our friend Kara flew in for their special day and was able to come to the zoo with us...she took some super cute pictures that I can't wait to post later.

One more week!
I cannot believe that our sweet little guys will be a year old a week from today. The time has seriously flown by and I am LOVING watching their personalities develop and seeing them express themselves through different sounds. Each day is truly better than the last and I just can't imagine loving them any more than I already do!!

Coleman's Interpretive Dance
The boys crack me up on a daily basis, especially with their "conversations" to each other and their random babbling. It is by far the cutest thing to watch and makes me smile just thinking about it. I was able to catch Coleman's interpretive dance the other day on my camera...I wish I would have videotaped his singing to go along with it...
Attached at the hip
I can't put into words how much these boys make my heart smile more and more each day, but they are also loving to grab onto me more and more each day and refusing to let go! This is often my view...too cute to get frustrated at but also makes it tough to walk anywhere...
Lovin' this weather!!!
We had the most beautiful weekend and couldn't help but to be outside enjoying the sunshine and hoping that it is here to stay. The boys "helped" their Daddy assemble a fun slide/climber for the backyard, swung on their swings, and even painted their first masterpiece with finger paints....although they really wanted to eat the paint. Hopefully this week will be just as beautiful so we can play outside some more!

Carter
As I mentioned yesterday, I am taking a day to focus on each of our little guys separately. Today's day is Carter (aka Carter Bug).
Carter has a smile that can melt your heart in two seconds flat. When he smiles it is with his whole body and you can truly see the joy in his eyes. He is the most independent of the two boys when it comes to being a "go getter" and exploring. He often wakes up first in the mornings and most of the time shakes his crib rail and yells for us because he is ready to start his day and I honestly think he feels like he is missing out on something! He goes from 90 to nothing and before crashing for his nap and definitely keeps me on my toes.
Carter has become quite the Mommas boy lately and can often be found wrapped around my leg or reaching for a hug. This is ironic considering his personality and independence. Carter is a mover and groover...he loves moving from one activity to the next but does anything and everything with a smile!
Carter LOVES to make all kinds of sounds but his favorite one is when he sucks in his breath and makes this dragon kind of noise. He is also quite the grabber and anything and everything within his little reach is fair game.
One of my favorite things about Carter are his poses. He loves to cross his legs when he's in his high chair, put his feet up on the bar when he's riding in the stroller, and just make himself comfortable anywhere and everywhere. I love it!!!
Carter truly has a love of life and so does his brother. I am head over heels in love with all three of my guys and feel more blessed with each passing day!!

Coleman
I decided that a lot of my blog posts typically revolve around both of the munchkins, so I thought that I would take a day today and a day tomorrow to post about each of them separately and their unique personalities and traits. So, today's post is about my first born (by 2 whole minutes), Coleman...who I like to call C-man.
Jared nailed it on the head the other day when he said that Coleman was a "sweet soul". He truly is and that's pretty typical of his personality morning, noon, and night. If he is the first to wake up in the morning it is rare that I hear him crying or see him shaking his crib in the monitor (you'll understand more of that in Carter's post tomorrow), but instead he begins his day by talking...sounds like his mom already! He LOVES to babble and his most common "word" is dadadada...over and over again, until yesterday! He started saying mommomomom....still pretty sure it has nothing to do with me but it's exciting nonetheless.
Coleman is quick to smile and just as quick to bite. Yes, you read that right. He is constantly smiling but also loves to crawl after his brother and bite him...It's definitely been a challenge and Carter has the war wounds to prove it but with that sweet soul of his I know that it is unintentional and not out of spite. Coleman is also VERY ticklish...just like his Mom on that one too! He loves to be tickled on his neck and toes and has the cutest little laugh to go along with that smile of 6 teeth. He also is my eater out of the two. He will let you know when he is done with his "baby" food, but when it comes to puffs, cheerios, or any other finger food he seems to have an endless pit in that tummy of his!
Coleman also loves to clap, make indian noises (with his hand over his mouth) and now walk with his walker. He is SUCH a joy to be around and truly a blessing to both Jared and I. The past 11 months seem like such a whirlwind and I am so proud of the little boy he is already becoming...now if we can just get that biting under control!
