It is hard to believe it is November. A year ago we were in the NICU pushing/ praying/ begging/ waiting impatiently to go home. Last year the girls were "two peas in a pod" for Halloween... this year they were lambs! I'm not gonna lie- they absolutely hated their costumes. They mainly hated the hoods- these girls aren't hat fans. They try to pull them off by pulling them down and guess what- that only makes the situation worse. But I tortured them anyway and made them wear their costumes multiple times. It was hilarious. We were fortunate to get to go to Chattanooga for Halloween the girls got to show off their costumes to alot of southerners.
Parker having a melt down in the costume.
Emma Jane post-meltdown which only stopped after the hood was removed and a shiny orange bag was put in front of her.
Someone trying to crawl (I honestly don't know which baby this is)
Daddy pulled out all the stops to get a smile.
The girls are very very very busy and never ever sit still except for one thing- Baby Einstein (aka baby crack). In the last month Parker and Emma Jane have learned a few party tricks. They can wave bye-bye, point to things, hold the phone (or anything really) up to their ear to say "hello", play peek-a-boo, and Emma Jane can stand on her own (Parker is close) but no steps yet. We are hoping for some walking action by Christmas. It is so funny how many things have changed yet some many haven't in the last year. Emma Jane is serious, thinks about things before she does them, and can be so so stubborn... but she also loves to cuddle and always appears to be really taking in and thinking about whatever you are saying to her. Parker... is a ball of emotions. She takes everything- everything that Emma Jane has, acts without thinking, reacts without thinking, and is fierce with whatever she does. My mom decided that Parker's water broke because she just wanted to be over where Emma Jane was. Here are some random pictures plus the monkey/owl pictures (which are getting harder to do)!

The monkey and owl are really just stuffed animals now. They are so little compared to the big toddlers!!! I love the lamb costumes...my fav pic is whoever is trying to crawl away, hahaha. The girls are so big now. O, and if they are only 11 months adjusted, does that mean they get another first bday party..I'm up for more cake!!
Love you,
Shannon
Time to teach them "Sooooo Big!"
Well done, Broges.
