Day 18....a year of fabulous "firsts"!

For some reason today I was thinking of how many awesome things we've gotten to "celebrate" since the girls were born.  And, I was thinking what a blessing it has been to share those celebrations with family, friends and my blog community.  I think all the "firsts" were a big part of all the fun that happened this year.  We've certainly had what seemed like long phases and stages along the way, but I think the "first celebrations" helped to even those out quite a bit.  Typically - in the midst of a trying week that might have included sick or teething babies, diaper rashes, sleepless nights and a couped up mama we also had so much to celebrate!

Below is a list of some of the "firsts" I can recall off the top of my noodle!

Wow!! This was so fun to reminisce about all of these amazing "firsts" for the girls!!  With just a few weeks until their "first" birthdays - I am sure we'll have a few to add to the list from year #1.

I can't wait to see what is in store as we move into the second year of their precious lives.

With love,
Cuz I'm the mama!
