Abigail and Her Bear



Abbey likes to play with her bear and even give it Bear hugs



Hey Mr. Bear, let's dance



Daddy mowed the yard this morning. We hear you outsied dad.



Hmmmm, where is that man? As you can see, Porter can climb on the couch. Abigail, I'm sure, is not far behind

1 Year Check Up!
Well, we must be doing something right. The kids are alive and well. The kids did really well with their shots. Poor Abigail cried alot. Porter cried but then Grammie Joyce took away all the pain by hugging him really tight. Daddy consoled Abigail as best he could. She gets to crying really hard and it makes dad sad. So he sings his lullaby to her. Then we went to Costco afterwards to get whole milk and more diapers. Yep, Dr. Alfaro gave the go ahead for whole milk with some formula. She's such a cool doc. Porter weighed in at 20 pounds and some change. Abigail at 17 and some change. Abigail, I hope you can face forward for the trip to Tulsa!




We wait, we wait.



Before the room was torn apart by the Best Twins. Nurse Amy waits to check us out.



I'm wayyyyyyyyyyy up here grandma. I'm gonna get my slobber all over this mirror.



Ohhhhhhhhhhh a Princess! Hi Princess, I'm Abigail. Nice to meet you.



Porter making friends with the baby in the mirror.



I know we've met before. I just can't remember where.



I'm a petite girl. I weigh a little over 17 pounds. Let's check out this magazine stand here.



Hmmmm, what's this I can mangle? Oh, by the way Porter. Great placement of the hand.



2 Abigails and 1 Porter



Abigail getting fitted for her crown. Porter stole the head measure tape. We got to the car and he had it in his little hands. That's our boy.

Just Horsin' Around
I tell ya what. Miss Abbey is blossoming. She's a social butterfly. Waving, clapping and saying bye-bye. She's still our little petite princess though. I mentioned that their 1 year apppointment was last week. Well, it's this week. So we'll see how big the kiddos are. I think we're doing a pretty good job. Last time, Dr. Alfaro said, "You're doing what I need you do be doing. The babies look great." I think that's cool that she gave us a compliment. Parents need to hear words of encouragement. I bet they take Porter off formula. Abigail, they might keep her on it. I dunno. We'll see. Does this mean that my babies are growing up? Is this the start of them not needing me? There has to be some point where I become less and less needed. Not in the sense that they don't NEED me, but you know. They are starting to venture out like little ducklings. But always staying near momma duck. Porter is a climbing machine. He can't get high enough. Crawl on daddy to get to the remote. Crawl on momma to get to the seat of the couch. Carey had to raise the blind cords. Mr. Porter can reach them from the couch. uh oh. Porter can also reeeeeeach and touch the front door knob. He thinks he's going somewhere I guess.




I see you brother



Here I am



Weird face.



Grandma helping me eat corn on the cob. Thanks Grandma, this is delicious.

The weather was great. I think everyone really enjoyed themselves. It's all about walking for the babies. Thank you so so very much to everyone who donated to Team Miles for Miracles. We finished out at $730.00!!!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo! Way to go ya'll. We can't wait till next year. The shirts that the kids and Scottie are wearing are in memory of my friend's children. I have created a special bond with these families. These are families I blog with all over the US.

So Big
We go to the doctor this week for the babies 1 year check up. I bet they take Porter off formula. He might get to drink milk now. However, I bet they keep Abigial on formula for a bit longer. We'll see.



Hard to believe that Abigail can touch the fishies



Look here lady. I want out. What can I do to get you to let me outta here. How about a cute face?



Ha ha ha, brother is stuck in his crib
