  • 1 year, 1 month and 22 days old (or 10 months and 27 days...)
  • Jack is 17lb 11oz and 27in
  • Ella is 16lb 15oz and 26in
  • Jackie is the whiner and Ella the screamer
  • Ella needs her beauty sleep and Jack likes to deprive Mom of hers
  • Ella loves the independence of walking unless someone is holding Jack, then she practically runs to that person
  • Jackie loves his bathtime and splashing in the tub
  • Ella has discovered the joy of Cheerios (or is it mom)
  • Jack likes Cheerios, but prefers to hoard them
  • Ella is quickening her pace as mom and dad can't seem to go anywhere that she's not
  • Jack has discovered that he can roll and roll and roll... Can anyone say "steam-roller" time?
  • Both kids like when daddy reads to them before bed even though there are moments that other toys need their attention too
  • Ella is going to have very straight hair just like mommy
  • Jack has beautiful curls just like daddy (if he let his hair grow out)
  • Both kids have decided that getting their diaper changed is the worst thing in the world
  • Kitchen cabinets are the best places to play
  • Jack is getting too tall for his bed rails so we have to lower it again (last notch)
  • Jack is an early riser (this morning at 5:50am)
  • Ella would sleep in if Jack didn't always make such an announcement of his waking
  • Neither kid has ever worn shoes
  • Neither kid has slept with a blanket in their crib

    Last fact... We can't believe how much Jack and Ella have become the center of our lives. They are incredible, and we love them very much!

    Cute. Your post made me think of when my kids were babies, long, long ago. They are 14 and almost 11.
