Twins 1 yr old!!!

On Jan 7th, the twins turned 1 year old. They are both now crawling and surfing around furniture. Adam can stand and balance on his own but doesn't take any steps just yet. Mia will take a few steps but only from person to person and usually falls into them because she leans into them. (She does the leaning thing from While you were sleeping)

Saturday, they had their birthday party and many family and friends came. They loved all the attention, presents and really enjoyed the cake. They weren't as messy as I would have thought but they did get it all over them. They loved the bath afterwards with their new bath toys that Uncle Patrick and Aunt Kati bought them. We want to thank everyone for coming and celebrating this special occasion with us!

Today, was their 1 year check-up and they did great! Adam didn't cry at all when he got his shots. Mia did but more because I wasn't giving her puffs because I didn't want her to choke!
Adam weighs 21 lbs 6.4 oz - at birth was 4 lbs 9 oz
Mia is now 15 lbs 9.6 oz - at birth was 4 lbs 2 oz
The doctor said they are doing great and are very healthy little one! He tried to take them with him but I wouldn't let him!

I am so proud of my little ones for fighting hard the first 4 weeks in the hospital and becoming the healthy, strong, and loving little 1 yr old kids they are today! Jonathan and I are truly blessed with these two little miracles! We thank Heavenly Father for letting us care for his children while they are here on the earth and for the opportunity we have to be their parents forever. It was a long struggle to get pregnant and we couldn't even imagine the joy that these 2 precious little ones have brought into our lives! We have found our JOY in these two for sure! You RS ladies will know what I am talking about! We are so thankful for them and for all of you in our lives!

love,
Jonathan and Milina
