We DIG being 1!

Turning 1, in the moms of multiples world, is nothing short of a major milestone. I couldn't let it pass without throwing a big party for our favorite little duo. I decided on a construction themed party, and with a little lot of help from Pinterest, the day was perfect. There was wrapping paper shredding, cake smashing, and plenty of love and laughter that filled our home as our friends and family shared in Owen and Aaron's 1st Birthday.
(More on their 1st year here.)

Owen was a little hesitant at first, but then dug in, too. 


Happy 1st Birthday to our favorite little boys!

1 Year = 12 Adorable Months

I will admit, monthly baby photos was the first idea I gleaned from Pinterest back when I was on bedrest last Spring. It seemed like the perfect way to a) make sure I was taking at least one photo of our babies each month (ha!) and b) capture their unique milestones that would undoubtably take place during the first year.

What I didn't realize is that documenting monthly photos would a) require a staff of 15 photo assistants to wrangle babies into position and b) force my husband and I to learn to stand on our heads while making funny faces and calling out our dear babies' names in hopes that they might just happen to look at the camera at the same time and smile.

While it was my goal to have Aaron on the left and Owen on the right in each photo, there were certain months where the stars just didn't align and Owen was on the left, and by the time I realized it, a major meltdown was about to occur, so the photo shoot was over and on the left he stayed.
