Balls!

The favored gift for Christmas this year was definitely balls! We are over loaded with them now. The boys love to throw and kick them. I believe I could open up a Gymboree in my play room if I wanted to!

Mischievous!

These guys are getting into more and more things they are not supposed to! They don't like the word no, not one bit!

Ren and Santa are not friends this year!

Maybe next year? Rex was ok with Santa. This Santa had a rough day I believe because he was a little grouchy! Our picture was a little better than this, but you get the idea. I had to be in the picture.

They think they are big boys!

Is this better Jo Anne?

Steady climbing the charts!!

At their 1 year appointment we of course got some new stats!

Rendin: 24% in weight, 18% in height, and 25% in head circumference. Wow! Ren went from 3% to 18% in height. A growing boy!!

Rex: 10% in weight, 13% in height, and 39% in head circumference. Rex went from 1% to 10% in height! Woo hoo. No more 1%!

They love things on their heads...

for a short time!

Happy 1st Birthday Rex and Ren!!

These pictures were taken the 26th. They got sick the 27th and I got the virus the 29th, on their birthday. I saw them maybe 10 minutes the whole day. Thanks to Mimi and Biggin for spending the day with them. The boys had terrible colds, but I know they still had fun on their Birthday! I was very sad to have missed it.

Vomit Central!

Today was a bad day! We had two sickies in this house. Two vomiting babies with tons of  congestion made for a really hard Sunday! I am glad the day is done and they are snoozing in their beds. I decided to get on my blog and make it a little more attractive. I should be sleeping and will regret this in the morning but I had no time to myself yesterday so I am taking the time now!

Sweet boy

Just a sweet picture, that's all. Rex loves his Good Night Moon book. Please ignore the paleness and double chin I have going on!

The boys first Thanksgiving!

A little play time before lunch

Pappy and Rendin

Getting all the food ready! The paper towel holder looks like it is poking John's butt!

Adly and Rex

Who me? (Holt)

Thanksgiving lunch went well. They loved the food.

Yummmm

 Val fed them for me during Dinner with Mimi and Biggin, so I could eat with everyone. (What a nice Auntie)

Rendin laying on Dakota. (his step cousin, haha)
There are no pictures of me or my Mom and Biggin. I promise we were all there. The boys had a lot of fun. I can't wait for Christmas!

First Birthday party!!

Val made their cupcakes and smash cakes! Cute huh!

About to have sugar for the first time!

Rex kind of picked at his and that was it. Not very interested.

Rendin picked a little at his but did not like the texture of the cake! I know this will change but I secretly liked the fact that they didn't eat a lot of it!

This is what Ren did with his cake. He threw it on the floor. It is getting to be a bad habit, throwing cups and food off of his tray.

We had their Birthday at Gymboree. It was a lot of fun, except the evening when it was time to go to bed. They had a great time. Their real Birthday is the 29th but because of Thanksgiving we have to have it a little early. I don't know if I will ever have their party at our house. It is a lot to clean up and we didn't have to do much of that here! It was perfect!

Ren's first dentist trip.

Rendin has been so fussy lately so I am trying to figure out what exactly is causing this. So we went to the dentist to see if his molars are the cause. NOPE! It isn't the teeth. So we will figure something else out. He had a good visit except for the screaming when she polished his teeth.

This little boy was in heaven with all of these books! He loves his books! (still in his jammies, morning appt)

Chewing on the duck they gave him. He did not want anyone touching his teeth. They are nice and shiny now!

Busy weekend!

We took away the bottles! The first day was hard, but then it got easier!

Then we went to the park. Rendin loves to pick at the grass

They loved the tunnel!

Then the Cedar Park train! The boys loved it and so did Kristian so we rode it twice!

No more bottles!

Today is the last day the boys will be taking bottles and formula. After today they are officially on their sippy cups (with straws) and Almond Milk!! Woo hoo! No more bottles. I am so glad. We have bottles every where. We were washing 8 bottle parts every day and running our dish washer every day. Most people are sad when they are done with bottles, but not us. I am excited to move forward! Look at this mess on my counter. It has been here for 11 months now and I will finally have room for other crap! I'll let you know how they do tomorrow. I'm sure it will be an experience! Luckily David is off to help me through it.

A little training exercise

Not walking yet, just a little practice. Supposedly their reflux will improve as they start walking. We will see.

Happy Halloween!

Ren the dragon! He was not happy with this costume!

Rex the Shark. Not happy either!

Val came over and helped me put them in these costumes. They were not too happy. They were better when we took them outside, but I was freezing! This was their Halloween. They will be sleeping when David and I hand out candy, so no more dressing up for them this year!

REFLUX

 My boys are almost 11 months and they are finally off their reflux medicine! Yes, they still spit up, but not nearly as bad as they used to. They have graduated to happy spitters! (Yes Rex is eating a leaf in the back ground. He won't stop, no matter how many times I ask him to!)
