13 months

We made it 13 months!  It has been a pretty cool adventure watching the babies grow.  It seems like daily they are learning or doing something new or funny.

Last week Keith went to the girls basketball tournament in Austin and I got to join him.  We left the babies with my parents for 3 whole days!  We had fun.  Keith watched basketball pretty much all day and night and I watched a few games, hung out with friends, and ate out at all my favorite Austin restaurants.  There are so many "cool" people in Austin.  

The babies did great.  My mom said they played outside in the backyard every day and sounds like they ate well!!  I enjoyed my time away but was kinda ready to get back and see them and see if they remembered me.  They did.

Here is the monthly update on the kids (not babies...I have to remind myself)

Presley - She is a pro at walking now and is getting pretty fast. She seems to be the "follower"  She usually follows Ashton around doing what he does.  She knows how to show off and be silly.  When she realizes she makes people laugh she keeps doing whatever it is.  She likes veggies over meat.  She loves to push boundaries.  You tell her no...she looks at you and does whatever it is again.  She puts everything up to her ear and pretends to talk on the phone.  She now says "uh oh" and "woah"

Keegan -  Keegan is still crawling.  He seems to be getting a little braver on his feet but is still unsure of the whole walking thing.  He still loves to play the piano and dances while he does it.  He has become a lot less sensitive...he doesn't cry every time his brother or sister touches him.  He has actually started tackling...Presley mostly.  They have just started playing a game where one of them gets the ball and the other chases and tackles them.  The laugh when they are tackled. It's pretty cute.  He loves to throw balls.   Keegan is also still pretty laid back when he wants to be.  Still a flirt.  He is the first to warm up to new people.  He also seems to be left handed.  So maybe we will have an artist in the family.

Ashton - He has also become much better at walking.  He is still wobbly but seems to rebalance himself well.  He is also the loudest.  He jabbers a lot and screams.  His screams kinda sound like a Pterodactyl. He also loves to throw stuff. He is probably the best listener when you say no. If he is about to put something in his mouth and you say "uh uh" or "no" he throws it down and acts like he wasn't doing anything. Ashton likes to steal toys from his brother and sister and but they are started to fight back. He is probably our best eater. He will pretty much eat anything and he eats alot and when he really likes it he says "num num num"

We have been working with our babies on not throwing their sippy cups down on the ground. The seem to understand but Presley likes to challenge me. I have also tried to introduce the spoon. They can get it in their mouth they just don't know how to scoop stuff onto the spoon yet. They are still taking 2 naps a day. A morning nap that has been lasting 1-2 hours and then an afternoon nap that last 30 min -1 hour. We still have them on a schedule which I think has helped so much in many ways.

Here are some pictures from Valentines Day.
