We're 12 Months old!

AKA 1 year old! We made it! Woohoo! And we still refuse to look at, and even smile at the camera for these monthly pics.

We're 11 Months Old!

I am really getting happy about the fact that these pictures are almost done. It is sooo hard to keep them together in the recliner!*

*If you believed that, you don't know me very well. I, sniff, sniff, cannot believe I only have one more of these pictures to go. It makes me so sad. What has happened to me babies and where have these pre-toddlers come from????

Anywhoooo...it was, an usual, very hard to get these pictures, and what makes me upset about this is that I haven't actually taken a decent photo of them for quite a few months! I loved when they were around 4-6 months and would just sit there nicely and smile up a storm. Oh no, now now.

We're 10 Months Old!

Yes, I realize this is late, and that they were, in fact, 10 months old on November 8th. But, cut me some slack! I need help nowadays to get this shot, as you can clearly see. And yes, it just gets harder to do these every month. Whew! I almost can't wait for them to be a year old and we'll quit taking the monthly pics. (I said "almost")

And, I not not kidding - how is it that I am mommy to the absolutely cutest babies in the entire world, and this is all they give me for these pics? Is this really the best they can do? Ummmm, yes. And you'll see why by the outtakes at the bottom. Enjoy!

We're 9 Months Old!

Okay, I know I have been saying this EVERY MONTH, but they are no longer able to sit in the same chair together. I am really trying to make it to their year birthday with the monthly chair pics. With one baby, I'm sure I could do it. With two babies, you need two people, and another person to take pictures. Jake and I are only two people, and we did the best we could, while still being behind the lens :)

We're 8 months old!

Okay, I know I said that last month's 7 month pictures were hard to take. But, let's please fast forward to 8 months old, when BOTH my babies are mobile and crawling. I couldn't even do it by myself this month (which I normally do) - Jake had to help me. And also, another little lovely is that now I can't make them smile on command. They are now too smart to fall for those things. It was MUCH easier to get them to smile at 3-4 months than it is now. Plus, they are not too keen on my new camera. It's a little big and they don't quite understand it yet. But, anyway, here we are at 8 months old!! (and yes, this is the best picture I could get - I may have to change my location next time) Another funny thing to look at is how much smaller the sign it getting if you look at the monthly pictures off to the side. Outtakes are at the bottom!

We're five months old!!

We're four months old!!
