Our first sick visit...

Today we had our first sick visit to the doctor. Considering they are 11 months old, I think we are doing pretty good! They have both had runny noses and were congested, which I halfway thought was from teeth, but Nora was coughing more, so I thought I should take them in just in case. Well, good thing I did because 3 out of 4 ears are infected, both of Nora's and Colton's left ear! They really aren't acting sick or like their ears are bothering them.

On a good note, I was emailed their pictures from Target, so I can share some of them with all of you! I can't wait until I can pick them up this weekend!

It won't be long now!!!

We are in trouble now...Colton is pulling himself up to stand by himself and Nora's not far behind!!! They are getting around and getting into everything. Nora's new favorite thing to do is to try to climb onto her brother. I think she thinks he is her own personal jungle gym. They are both trying to cut more teeth and are having runny noses and getting a little congested at times, which is making for very interupted sleep for Mom and Dad. Hopefully we will be over it soon!

We are in the process of planning their birthday party. I can't believe they are almost 1! Everybody told me they grow up too quick, but I never thought it would go this quick!

We have forward motion!!!

Wednesday afternoon, Colton mastered forward motion! He is now crawling like crazy. The comical part is that Andy and I noticed for the first day he was doing it, he would stop anytime Nora would start watching him. He's seeming to not care today if she sees him or not. Nora has been getting on her hands and knees a lot more too. It won't be long before she takes off!

Yesterday, Nora and Colton had their 1 year photos done. Yes, I know they are only 11 months old, but I wanted to have their pictures in time for their party and the photographer at Target told me 1 year photos are normally taken between 11-14 months. The pictures turned out amazing! I had such a hard time narrowing them down and I spent too much money, but this is only the 2nd time I have had their photos professionally taken, so I don't feel too bad. There is already one pose I wish I would have ordered one more sheet of. As soon as I get the online link, I will post some of them. They are precious!
