I used cotton candy but it kinda melted by the time we were ready to blow out candles... oh well, it was cute anyway!
Here is my sweet Cooper on the day he turned 1! Isn't he such a cute little guy. I almost even like the mullet!
Here is my precious Amelia on the day she turned one. Those deep blue eyes melt my heart!
Here I am! The tree of us made it! I am pretty impressed! I thought to myself, while I was pregnant, if I can only get through the first year I will have it made. Well, we are through the first year and I still need to wean them and get them walking but I am not sure we have it made... the hard changes but for sure it is getting more and more fun!
Since we were going to smash the babies thing one and thing two cakes, I made a cat in the hat cake for the rest of us to eat. It was harder than it looks but with my mom's help I think it turned out great! I was pretty impressed with the idea to turn a platter over to make it look like a brim of the hat!
The two cuties ready for dinner! I made calzones! My mom flew in from AZ and Josh's parents also came over. Since I had gotten kinda out of control with the cake, I invited our neighbors over for cake and ice cream!
And presents was just a little bit crazy with the two both wanting to play with the toys... we had a good time though.
Of course Max was a champ just sitting there with his "bwoken weg." It was cute because our neighbor who is 7 asked him if he could walk and his reply? Super positive and bright "no but I can crawl and scoot!" Kind of amazing since at the time he thought that he would never walk again!
Grammy bought Amelia a baby doll that drinks a bottle and makes slurping noises and giggles and talks baby talk.
She got Cooper this awesome car garage ramp thing that the cars flip on, way awesome!
GG and Crapa got them books! I love love love books! Always a winner with me!
It was so cute that Amelia got the hang of her doll so quickly! So fun to see her feed her a bottle! Especially since she doesn't ever remember getting a bottle (she got a few at the beginning of her life while I was recovering and getting enough supply for two babies)
We got the twins car seats! Since the new guideline is to keep them rear facing for another year and then to turn them at two, we got some that would do both. They liked them a lot inside the house :)
Turner even loved the doll (give him anything electronic and he is happy) people joked that I should save this picture for when he is 16 and show it to girls. I thought that would get girls to like him even more! What girl doesn't like a boy who likes babies!
Time for cake! I loved these star candles because it just reminded me of Dr. Seuss even more!
I decided that we would sing Cooper and Amelia their own birthday songs so that they could sing to each other (in a few years) and have their own 26 seconds of fame! They don't care now but you got to start the tradtion sometime don't ya? It almost looks like he is going to blow it out doesn't it?
I was surprised at how well the dug into the cake! Josh helped them feel free to get messy (by putting their hands in it!) but they sure didn't hesitate did they?
My mom has never joined us for a first birthday before. She asked me at one point if I was going to let them get sick on cake. My response? Yep! They were just fine and stopped when they had enough! You can tell Amelia is getting tired and ready for bed!
I think it looks like Cooper has a goatee!
Messy! Messy! Messy! Messy! But so much fun!
Even the sippy cup got smeared with goodness!
Ta-da! They are one! I can't believe it! It has been a great year and I can't imagine my life without these amazing little people! It is getting more fun and more fun everyday! I love these personalities with all my heart! The drama, the laid back, they balance each other out and I am so happy that they chose to come to our family, even at the same time!!! I love you Cooper and Amelia! Happy Birthday!
