11 months of joy!




Justin and I get a good laugh when we look at the pregnancy pics and belly shots, it feels like so long ago! We decided tonight that we officially have two toddlers. Carter is gaining confidence and loves to walk across the room 7 or 8 steps at a time, fall down, and then back at it again. Dreyton is a walking fool and is working on his agility and speed. We want to share the things we love about these sweet little 11 month-old "toddlers"

-They love to peek around the sides of their car seats and laugh at each other as we drive down the road
-We can't get enough of watching them walk around, especially when they're in only diapers, too cute!
- They go nuts when they see us brush our teeth and love to hold their toothbrushes and mimic mom and dad.
-They are finally BOTH sleeping through the night. I would never like to go back to newborn days where we were up every 45 minutes with one or the other.
-Carter can get her hair in a pony tail (more like a unicorn horn!)
-We've been teaching them some sign language and the one they know best is "fan"-go figure!


There are many a night when Justin and I peek in their cribs after they've fallen asleep and say, "We have two babies?!" Somedays it just seems surreal. What a blessing these babies have been and how fast the time flies when you're having fun. Even with our calm demeanors we couldn't have made it this far without the constant prayers and support of our friends and family. MANY THANKS!!

I agree it seems impossible to be 11 months! Just this morning I looked - again - at the newborn picture that I waited so long to see of them both together! It is STILL on my fridge, while others have come & gone. The first steps are so precious, like the 4 of you. Love & more - Rayburn Family
