Evelyn and Olivia: 13 Months

I feel like these girls have jumped leaps and bounds since their First Birthday! Both have started walking (Liv especially, Evy just a couple small steps) and are both talking up a storm. We've cut all of their bottles except the bedtime one and they are using sippy cups during the day and drinking milk. They still have one nap a day maybe 1-2 hours depending on what time they wake up. Both love to dance and clap and are incredibly happy and easy going babies.

Evelyn Grace

- Evy still loves to smile and laugh. It doesn't take much to get her to smile and her whole face lights up. It's that kind of contagious smile that you can't help but smile back.
- Along with her smile she's also perfected what we call "the stank face". Girlfriend has got a serious scowl. And the best is she will scowl at you and then smile really big 0.4 seconds later - ha!
- Evy got two more top teeth (six total) and is drooling like crazy, but I haven't seen anymore quite yet.
- Evy still won't snuggle with us, but she loves to snuggle her puppy that she sleeps with every night. She'll carry puppy around and then lay her head on him. So precious!
- She took her first steps just a couple days after Liv, but still hasn't taken off like Liv. Her balance is actually better than Liv and she can stand up on her own, but still seems hesitant to walk.

Olivia Ann

- Liv is laughing and smiling so much these days! It's still hard to capture because she's kind of shy about it and turns her head away when she smiling and laughing.
- She's gotten a bit more clingy and doesn't like it when I leave the room. She's whining until I hold her and then she snuggles her head into my chest like she's in her favorite place in the world.
- Liv also has a stuffed animal she loves to snuggle with and play with - her panda! She will go walking around with it as well and whine for him.
- She had five teeth before her first birthday and finally got the fourth top tooth (also six total). Less drool, but probably more teeth soon.
- Liv decided to take her first steps last Saturday and since then has been walking more and more. She's taking off and doing really well!
- She is talking a lot and loves to see the cats and has started saying "zaza" for Zoey (who we call "zozo" a lot) and can say CeCe. She lights up when she sees them.
