I can not believe that my sweet, little babies are now two years old!!! It's really hard to wrap my head around, but I am so proud of them and love watching as they grow and learn new things everyday! I know that everyone says that it's a challenge entering the "Terrible Two's", but I have to say that having twins, it sure is nice now that they can be a little more independent! They are the best of friends most of the time, and Bailey has taken over the role of taking care of "Iffin" at all times! If someone gives her a cookie, she asks for one for "Iffin" and promptly takes it to him! It really is sweet! We are learning how to apologize to each other when they hurt each other or don't treat each other kindly....Jacob and I sometimes have to work hard not to just die laughing because they can be so serious and sweet while doing it!
Griffin is still our sweet, energetic little man! He really melts my heart daily when he asks to kiss me, hold my hand, or have me kiss his constant boo-boo's. He is now weighing in at 34 pounds, but he is just a solid boy! We laugh and say that he doesn't know how to walk...he only runs! When we are at the pool, we tell him to walk, and he has to concentrate extremely hard to slow down! So funny! He is normally really sweet to Bailey and is quite protective of her! His favorite things right now are Mickey Mouse and Buzz Light-year! He sleeps with both and has to make sure they are in his bed before he will go to sleep! He also LOVES to be outside as long as we allow him to, and is even more in heaven when he can play in the water! He's all boy!
Bailey is....Bailey! We laugh and say that she thinks that she's 30 sometimes when she is prancing around the house with her baby on her hip and feeding Griffin at the same time. She loves to sing at all times, and makes sure that we sing "again, again, again". She's much smaller than Griffin and weighs 25 pounds, but she can hold her own! There are many times that we have to get onto her for the way that she treats him, but then she makes sure to hug and apologize to him. She also loves all things Mickey and Minnie Mouse. She knows all of the characters of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and sings the songs right along with them! Bailey loves sidewalk chalk, bubbles, all things associated with baby dolls, and puzzles! She's such a sweet girl, and I really think she'll be a great big sister!
To celebrate their birthday, I went back and forth between themes, but always came back to Mickey and Minnie since that is a mutual love of Bailey and Griffin! We had a great time celebrating and it was so sweet of our friends and family to celebrate with us! I'll share some pictures to show the fun....Bailey and Griffin LOVED having Mickey decorations all over our house! :)

Griffin loved everyone singing Happy Birthday...Bailey was a little embarrassed!
She wasn't thrilled with the idea, but Griffin took care of blowing out the candles!
See?!? Little mommy helping him out!
After everyone walked away, she dug in! haha She didn't want the cupcake, she just scooped the icing with the Oreo and ate it!
That was good!!
Present time!
I loved my American Girl dolls as a little girl, so I was excited for Bailey to get her first one!
My little Arkansas girl sat on the curb with bare feet drinking lemonade after everyone left!

Griffin watched until we couldn't see the balloons anymore!

We also were excited to have Gran and Papa here for the weekend and the party! It's the first picture we have of them with all three grandchildren!
Bailey and Griffin seemed to love their birthday weekend, and I will admit that I had fun planning and working on all of the decorations! I am so blessed to be their Mommy and I am amazed by how my love for them just to continues to grow! Happy 2nd Birthday G & B!
