Spring is here!

It feels like forever since I've posted anything, but it seems like life gets so busy that the days are just gone before you know it.  Since the last post Lily has continued to grow and learn more every day.  She is energetic, outgoing, happy and an absolute joy.  Her teachers love her and constantly tell us how much of a pleasure it is to work with her.  I hope that she always loves school as much as she does right now.  Annie is happy and healthy.  She smiles all day - unless you cross her.  Then she lets you know immediately that she is displeased.  She crawls like lightning, stands and climbs all over everything.  She goes up the stairs so fast that we have to run ahead of her to get the baby gates closed in time.  She is on the verge of walking, having taken a few individual steps in recent weeks.  I think we are the brink of some big changes for BanAnnie.  Here are a few recent pictures to show off my beautiful babies.

Baby New Year rings in another year

I can't believe all that has happened in the last year! I also can't believe that Annie is already a year old, but it does feel like we've had her forever. Her first birthday was on New Years Day and we had a great party. The food turned out really well, the cake was beautiful and Annie seemed to have a great time - as far as I could tell with a baby. I have never in my life seen a baby demolish a piece of birthday cake like she did. We are very lucky to have such great people in our lives. They lavished Annie with great presents and helped to make the day special. I know that 1 year old parties are more for the adults than the kids, but she will look back at the pictures some day and smile.
