Big Update and Happy Birthday Mom!

Since turning 1 we have been very busy reading books and getting out and about. We love to look at the pictures and read the stories in our books:

We also love going to the playground, on nice days Mommy takes us to the neighborhood playground where she pushes us in the swings and we get to slide down the slides:

We have also hit several milestones over the past month, we can now sit on our own, clap our hands, wave "hello", do an army crawl, and feed ourselves finger foods (avocado, peaches, salmon, chicken, noodles, carrots, sweet potato, cheese toast, waffles, pancakes, eggs).  We also love to play patty cake and sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider"

Our names are on our shirts (sort of...)

We have also been getting out for play dates with friends, a picnic with daddy, and we got to try our first pizza at Fireworks, Mommy and Daddy's favorite pizza place!

We also wanted to wish Happy Birthday to Mommy! We love spending the day with her going on our adventures, she makes sure we are always going somewhere or doing something fun!
