1st Birthday and beyond

Ava and Zoe turned "1" recently. We had a pretty simple birthday for the family and it went very well. Maddy and the Anderson's had fun and the twins were pretty content and even got a chance to eat cake and open presents.

I thought I would try to capture some of the differences between Ava and Zoe. Here are some of our observations:

Ava: Still a bit lighter and fairer then her sister. Started crawling recently and is always on the go. Not the best sleeper but has some good nights. Often makes high pitched sounds like she is trying to tell a story or hear how loud she can be. Also likes to be the 'bad twin' and get in to trouble. If Zoe has a toy (or anything for that matter), Ava wants it and usually steals it. Recently started saying 'dada' and 'moma' which can melt your heart.

Zoe: Tends to be pretty easy going. Typically laughs more. Does not crawl or really even pull herself up yet. Happy to rotate on her butt. Started putting her arms out in the "pick me up please" typical gesture. Strawberry birthmark on her side. "Dances" or bops when she hears music a very cute manner.

Anyway, thought I better add a few pics from the party. Enjoy and stay warm..................B
