This year has been nothing short of rewarding. We have watched our little 4 pound babies grow into active, loving, playful 18 pound toddlers. They are so much fun and we love each moment we get to spend with them. Even the poopy diaper and crying moments :)
Pierce, you are walking peanut!!!!! You look too small to possibly be toddling around but you are! Mommy calls your walking the zombie walk. You put your hands out in front of you for balance and you wobble a little but you get where you want to go and FAST!!!You love to eat and still shovel your food into your mouth all at once. We have to give you a few pieces at a time or you try to cram it all in at once. You love anything with cheese just like your daddy. You love to climb the stairs in the playroom and you sit in the second step because it makes it easy for you to stand up. You kill us with your facial expressions and your one tooth grin. You are quite a flirt and will smile at anyone who gives you the slightest glance. You hate having your diaper changed but calm down when we give you your bottle of lavender to hold. You love your walker and plow into anything that may be in the way. You still have your piercing scream but it usually only comes out with diaper changes or when you're really tired. You are a pretty good little napper. You take short naps but as soon as we put you down, you usually fall right to sleep. You say "mama", "dada" and "nana" and you love to shake your head "no". You're pretty good with a sippy cup and you're still a good little nurser. You're so busy these days that mommy loves her cuddle moments with you although they are few and far between. You're go go go all day long!!!!

FIERCE PIERCE
Knox, you're a little reserved and haven't quite wanted to let go of whomevers hand you are holding in order to walk. You are getting there though! You've taken a few steps on your own :) you still love the two stairs in the game room and will climb them all day long. We've tried repeatedly to show you how to come down yet you still like to come down face first! It's a little scary for mommy and daddy. You are a great eater and I hope and pray it stays that way. There are very few things you don't like and you're great at picking up one piece at a time. You now have 3 teeth (two on the bottom and one on top) with one that's about to pop out any second. You've been drooling like crazy and your finger has constantly been jammed in your mouth lately. You love flipping the pages of your books and you love to bounce. You pull up on everything and will bounce away to any song or beat or just because! You love your paci and when you wake up in the morning, we listen to you coo and hit your paci against the side of the crib. You like to have one in your mouth and one in each hand. It's quite comical! You aren't a huge fan of diaper changes and like to turn over onto your belly and then sit up on the changing table. You are a decent napper but take a little while to go down. You like to stand in your crib, scaling it, paci in hand before bouncing and then finally lying down to rest. You say "mama", "dada", "eh?", and "nana". You're a super cuddler and will wrap your arms and legs around us and cling to us like a koala bear.

You two are our biggest blessings and our biggest joy in life. Before we conceived you, we were losing hope that we would ever be parents. Thankfully, God had other things in mind. We thank Him EVERYDAY for bringing you into our lives and entrusting us with two beautiful souls. We hope and pray that you grow up loving and knowing Our Savior and that you are happy and healthy. We will do anything in our power to make your dreams come true. This has been the best year of our lives and we look forward to what's to come. Happy first birthday to our sweet little presidents.
