  Thank you! It was a fun party and I loved the way the cake turned out. I truly thought the baker was just going to throw some sprinkles on top, so the end result was a surprise to me and I adored what she did with it. His Uno shirt was an Etsy purchase. Special touch since Z is Hispanic/Spanish speaking.

  @redrockmama, I can't handle the look on "Beethoven's" face!! He is chunking up nicely...way past B in weight now! And I agree on the full body smiles...I told B he's going to break his face if he doesn't take it easy.

  Yeah we were pretty shocked when we weighed him and he shot up to the 24th percentile in weight. He's still a shorty, but definitely getting some chub.

  Yeah, B is also 24" and almost a pound lighter! He's got some thigh rolls but stick arms and a narrow little torso.

  Here are a couple photos of W from the zoo.  It was a great day and he really enjoyed playing with the other children.  It was so fun to see him really delight in the animals.  I don't love zoos, but I do think it is so wonderful for him to realize how big and wonderful animals like elephants really are.

  @ATXmommas‌ what an adorable first birthday photo spread! I love the cake and his shirt!
  
  Here we are trying to position the boys into some festive little photo in front of the fire in our Guerneville house.... And then after a grueling photo shoot the best pic of the day is the one I took of them both on my belly after a snack.
  
  

  A & K, married 7/1/13.

  After 10 months of ttc via medicated IUIs and two early losses, we finally got our boys- Perfect premie twins born 5/27/14.
