Double Birthday Party

My baby isn't a baby anymore. Molly is officially a toddler and Miles is a preschooler. Wow. We had a crazy month celebrating Grant, Miles, and Molly's birthdays. We decided to have a joint birthday party for Miles and Molly since they are so close together. The theme was bugs and it was a big hit with the kid crowd.

This year really flew by. The first few months of Molly's life I was extremely sleep deprived. Now things have adjusted into a nice rhythm. Not easy by any means, just more predictable in nature. Molly is crawling (the same funny monkey crawl that Miles had) and cruising. She is a snuggle bug. Her loud and strong personality is starting to show. She does what she wants, when she wants to. I have a feeling she might be a challenging toddler.

Miles is turing into quite the entertainer. He has a few jokes memorized and can rattle them off to a crowd. He is very into letters and working on recognizing them while we read. He loves his new school. Music seems to be his favorite part of the day.

We are so blessed with these two energetic kids. They definitely make life full and make us happy parents.
