Sloane and Tess -14 months old

The scooter and the crawler make for a dirty happy life. 

Tess loves to walk whenever someone is holding her hands. But will not venture off on her own with her walking skills.

Sloane got her third tooth just days after 13 months old and now she has a grand total of 4 teeth!

These two are pros at climbing up on things...couches, stairs and fire place and are slowly figuring out how to climb down. The prefer to wait for willing arms. 

Tess is my big eater. There are very few things she won't eat. 

Sloane on the other hand won't hesitate to glare at you, spit something out of her mouth into her hand, look at you while she chucks it on the ground. It's all very strategic in sending a message. 

Sloane and Tess are very good at communicating. They are only just starting to throw tantrums when they don't get what they want. 

As true one year olds they are very distractable when they do throw tantrums so it hasn't become a true trial...more like entertainment. 

Wish I could spend all the hours in my days playing with and observing them in their adorable worlds. 

Love you Tess and Sloane!

Sloane and Tess -13 months old

This babies are so fun! Lots of work but oh so much fun!

Sloane has been having a hard time not crying at night. She goes to sleep just fine but randomly wakes up crying. She still has two teeth with number three very close to the surface. 

Tess is officially a mamas girl. She is not happy with other people around unless she is in moms arms. She loves headbands and tiaras on her head. She asks for help by handing mom the tiara and saying "eh eh?"

They look at and smile at each other more. They enjoy yanking on each others hair and taking toys away. 

Sloane is getting more into dancing with us all. She's got some sweet arm movements. She loves music time where we sing "slippery fish" and she can crawl around at her leisure and join in when she wants. 

Tess still won't crawl unless mom holds her knees down and makes her. It's scooting and monkey crawl all the way for this girl. 

They are officially down to one nap a day. Mom ends up at the park pushing them in the swing or pushing them around outside in the stroller. Some days have more tears then others. We are hopping this will help to make Sunday's more pleasant...we'll see. 

Love my Sloane and her "surprised" face and my Tess with her sneaky smile.
