When Helen was 9 months pregnant, a coworker told her, "the best thing about having two kids is that you really appreciate having just one." At the time, it seemed like kind of a cruel thing to tell someone when it's entirely too late to have just one. But one year later, we can both appreciate what she was saying: when you're hanging out with two kids all the time, you forget that they each have their own personalities. While it's fun to see them playing and giggling together it's pretty cute to see them on their own as well.
This month we didn't do much at all, but Helen and Ava did go on a mommy-daughter date and you could tell she's never felt so special. Ava had "Ava-skeeters" (ebelskivers) at a restaurant and went shopping, and didn't have to share at all :)
This month James finally went from wobbly steps to wobbly strings of steps. He also started stacking blocks and rings. But lets be honest, the most exciting achievement this month was a full night's rest for all as James FINALLY slept for 11 hours straight.
