11 Months

So much has happened this month. I started to blog earlier, but got sidetracked.

11/11/2010 Today Owen & Claire are 11 months old. Learning new things daily and taking me by surprise.

11/14     This week Claire learned a new gester. When she is told “no”she looks at you and snarls! At first I thought it was her being funny, but the more I told her no, the more she would snarl at me. This little girl does not like the word NO! After talking to Puff she told me that anytime she tells Owen and Jaxxon no, or the dogs no, Claire will look at her and snarl. I am in for it!

11/21 Birthday pictures!!! Alli came over and took birthday pictures. She always does an amazing job!

11/24 Happy Thanksgiving! We went to Tyler on Thursday. First we stopped by to see Aunt Sheila. She gave us some goodies and took some fun pictures. Our next stop was Grandaddy’s. This was the first time for some of my family to meet Owen and Claire. We had a great time.  I regret I have no pictures of this event. And I had my camera. Geeze what was I thinking?

11/27  Owen said a word! YES! And guess what he said? MOMMA!!! YAY OWEN! He also shakes his head no. Claire is pointing at things. Still snarling and has begun to snarl at people she doesn’t know when they say hi to her.

11/28 Owen & Claire are 13 days away from turning 1. I am still dealing with a flood of emotions. A part of me wants to be excited another part of me wants to throw a fit and say NO THIS CAN NOT BE TRUE! I want to turn back the clock and re-live it all over again! I put up the Christmas tree Saturday and found Owen & Claire’s first ornament. Their foot prints on a greeting card that one of the nurses made for them. I cried when I saw them. It brought back all those memories of them being so little. I remember being so sad at Christmas last year. I was excited that I had my babies and they were healthy, but so sad I could not bring them home or with me to celebrate Christmas. This year will be a great year! They will be with me and we get to celebrate our first Christmas at home. Seeing them open presents and getting things from Santa. How I have dreamed of this day!
