I truly can't imagine wathching my two babies grow any more than they have this past year. I watched Brayden become a talking machine, a caring big brother, and an independent young man. He started the year out with some 2 to 3 word phrases to carrying on entire conversations. It is a breath of fresh air that he can now tell us what is bothering him as opposed to guessing what a tantrum is about. He even sings us a song every now and then. As for being a good big brother, I can't tell you how many times I have seen him comfort his baby sister when she gets fussy. He does it all: rubs her head, reads her a book, and rocks her swing. As for being independent, lets just say he might as well have his own place. He is getting dressed by himself, eating on his own, and finally entertaining himself. He could spend hours outside playing by himself and with Ace.
As for Brooklyn, we obviously only got to see her grow for 3 months. But it was amazing to see her develop. I think my favorite thing to see her do was to smile. Nothing brightens my day more than seeing my little girl smile. She has also given mommy and daddy a little break. She is sleeping from 7:30 in the evening to 8:00 in the morning with only 1 to 2 feedings during the night. This is much better than the every 2 hour feedings we were experiencing. She also loves to sit in her Bumbo chair and watch the world go by.
With all of the changes we've seen, we can't wait to see the upcoming changes.
