Avery..
gives perfect "closed-mouth" kisses when she's in the mood
loves to point at the pictures in books, after she's unloaded the whole bookshelf on the floor
drinks her bottles in record time
utilized a unique rendition of crawling to get places quickly (her right leg is extended to the side and she uses her foot instead of her knee, it's kind of hard to explain)
says "uh-oh" every time she or someone else drops something
pushes cars on the floor while making a "vrrrroooom" sound effect
always has her hair in her face, unless mom has succeeded in putting a clip or rubber band in, which isn't very often
would crawl around all day on the pavement in the cul-de-sac (ouch!) if I'd let her
needs more sleep than her sister
understands and usually obeys when I say "sit on your bottom" (in the bathtub)
throws her bink back in her crib when she wakes up
Presley...
always has a bruise somewhere on her forehead (she doesn't understand "sit on your bottom" yet)
gives sweet, open-mouth kisses like Caleb used to do
loves to take her time drinking her bottle
shakes her head back and forth and smiles when I tell her "no"
is an early riser, takes forever to fall asleep for her naps, and is always the second one to bed at night
enjoys cuddling, especially before I put her in her crib
crawls well, but is pretty slow and methodical (her dad thinks she resembles a robot)
almost has both her two front teeth
They both...
love to dance to the sound of just about anything
adore their big brother
have begun to play together and entertain each other, giggle together and kiss each other
let me know when they've had enough of each other and want mom to come rescue them
aren't content to just sit in the jogger stroller anymore, and if I give them a toy to hold it better be the same toy for each of them or a battle for the best toy will begin
understand the words "be soft" (something I have to remind them when they start tackling one another)
terrorize Jack
can scream in a very high-pitched tone, especially during mealtimes
are going to be ONE year old in a week!

They have grown up so much since your last post! I can't believe they'll be one next week. Congratulations! It will get easier, I promise. The screaming would drive me insane. Sam is my only screamer and one is enough! For his own safety I taught him to say "help" instead of screaming and he does it sometimes. I love Caleb's underwear dance - he's going to be so embarrassed one day, but for now it's adorable! Good dancing Caleb and happy birthday Avery and Pres!
fun update! so cute to see how much they've grown.
This is such a great post!! You will love all the journaling and 'recording' for future reference (sounds dumb, I know). Anyway, they are both so stinkin' darling. I can't believe it's been a year already!!!
hi nae, i had so much run reading about your kids and watching them. and it's fun to know that they have a cute mom who is always holding the camera and encouraging the dance moves! i love you, megan
Thanks so much for sharing. It is very hard to have all of you so far away!! This is the best to be able to see all 3 little ones growing. They are all so cute!! Please give all a big HUG from Grammi T and Happy Birthday Avery and Presley~ One year old ~ it is hard to believe!! Take Care
Wow! You're almost there. I can't believe it's been a year. Crazy.
That was a darling post, and they're going to love reading it one day.
