New pictures

Sorry it has been so long! The girls are growing so fast. They are running and climbing all over the place. They have a new obsession with hats and things on their head. They love each other and can entertain each other for long periods. They have also started fighting over toys. Isla is still heavier, so usually wins. Fiona said her first word, "ducks", although we aren't real certain that she knows what a duck is. She also says "uh oh" a lot. Isla babbles a lot and neighs a little at the horse on our calendar but thats about it. They love to get out of the house. As it heats up in Sacramento, we are always looking for new ways to cool off. Lately we've been running through the sprinklers and spending a lot of time in our pool.




Mother's Day Love!



Look at my cute little family!




Starting Young





Look at our newest friend, Miki. She is 15 months and exactly the same size as Fiona.

She climbed up here on her own








Ok this one has a story. They were walking around all morning with blankets on their heads. They never ran into anything, and they begged me to put the blankets back on when they fell off. They thought it was hysterical. Of course, as soon as I got the camera out, this is what happened.

Happy First Birthday!






The girls are one! What an amazing year we've had. It seems like it has just flown. The girls are walking and seem so grown up all of a sudden. The birthday party was great fun. It was a little chilly but as long as we stayed in the sun we were ok. Thank you to those of you that came to celebrate with us, and those who couldn't be with us but sent cards, gifts and well-wishes instead.
Here are some pictures from the party. I made their little outfits. My friend Jennifer taught me how to make the tutus. I just hand sewed the shirts, and I got the directions for the hats here http://www.skiptomylou.org/?s=felt+birthday+hat

Baby Steps!

They walked! Both of them on the same day. Fiona took about 4 steps and Isla took 2. It was while I was at school, of course. But luckily, Euan and Aileen got Fiona on video. They aren't exactly walking everywhere since, but I have gotten to see them both take a few steps. Here is some footage of Fiona.

Babies' First Christmas

Well, the babies' first Christmas came and went and it was filled with excitement as well as a bit of exhaustion. This was Euan's first trip up to Humboldt in a year, so that was fun. The girls were so excited with all of their toys they didn't know what to play with first. They met their cousin Sarah for the first time too. It was pretty cute to watch the four of them (Sarah, Emmerson, Isla and Fiona) playing on Christmas Eve.

They are both pulling themselves up, waving and babbling a lot. They are also teething like crazy. Isla can soak a bib with drool in about 10 minutes!

Here is a video from Christmas morning...










And some holiday pictures
