"Falling" into Fall!

What a fun filled few weeks we have had! The twins celebrated turning 1 last week, we had a cake and Max loved it, Christopher not so much! We are going to have the family party this weekend and they can show off their walking skills, and show off they will! Right now they are both battling a low grade fever, maybe associated with new teeth, or like the rest of the world a little cold in the making. I can tell with Christopher he doesn't feel well, he is intolerant with his helmet, its just another nuisance, along with a runny nose and interrupted sleep.
Crossing the 1 year milestone is a really happy feeling. Both boys are healthy and on track developmentally, 6 months ago that was a nagging worry for us, will Christopher advance with Max or fall behind, and happily they have progressed and continue to amaze us!
I mentioned that they are walking and they love to do laps around the house all day, follow the trail and you know exactly where they have been, they are a little bit like tornadoes, don't get in their path, and clean up is an all day affair!
They have graduated from formula as well, what a great feeling and not to mention savings, I did a little celebration dance at Sams Club the other day, just think in a few years I will be finished with diapers as well!
We go to the doctors for their 1 year appointment next week along with another appointment with Laura at Union. We are still meeting once a week with Sara, he is getting to be a little bit of a handful now that he walks, but she gets him to do his stretches and works him out!

I am spinning with all of the activities that have been happening around here! The twins will be 1 at the end of this month! That means Christopher's starband journey will be wrapping up and it seems like we just started this process! His progress has been positive and along with his teeth, 5 at last count, he has also started taking steps and saying mama, dada and claps his little hands, he is quite proud of his achievements along with his brother Max, they are each others biggest fans!

We have had great success also with Sara, he is starting to show his strength in his legs and his neck, holding his tilts and balance. What we think is playing, Sara has stressed the importance of little exercises that will help him in the future.

Ave' and Sophia started a new school this year, they are attending St. Gabriels and have adapted to the new school with smiles and excitement. Sophia started all day kindergarten and I struggled the first few days, she went right to it and didn't look back, well she did, but she did it with a smile and my heart melted to see my little girl being so brave! John Morgan started pre-school and wanted Johnny to take him and me to pick up, he told me he was okay mom and off he went waving like he did this everyday!

So I am home with my 2 little ones and think I am the luckiest mom in the world. I have these beautiful little ones, confident and independent older ones and smiles that greet me everyday.
