13 minute video montage of the twins' first year

Take a journey with us through Maddison and Cameryn's FIRST year of life. This is a 13 minute video montage of pictures and short video clips of the girls. If you have a few minutes to spare, its a breathtaking (at least for me) emotion provoking, incredible journey! ENJOY!

Easter




This is the twins' second Easter, only because it fell early this year. Wow, what a difference between being one week old and now almost one YEAR old. The Easter bunny came and left them a unbelievably soft bunny rabbit, a bath time book, some sippie cups, and some Easter eggs filled with Cherrios and Gerber Puffs. Of course, they are only (almost) one and I told the Easter bunny we have very strict rules about sweets. They also got a Little Tykes Kitchen to add to the other 2 kitchens that we already have. After a short nap, we headed off to church where it was a magnificent production. The only thing bad about it, 2 little girls who were sitting behind us had CROUP!!!! You all know me and my fear of germs and sickness. I almost got up to move. Who sends their little ones to church with Croup. It's so contagious. So now I'm worried that they will catch it before their birthday party. Onward we adventured...to Grandma's house. Maddison absolutely loved the dogs and ESPECIALLY the cat. She was so gentle and cuddly with Grandma and Papa's kitty. I was so bummed we didn't bring our camcorder to tape it. It was so cute. Cameryn was absolutely terrified of both the dogs and cat. Which was an exact opposite change from our last visit. After a wonderful meal, we came home to take a nice Easter's Nap...everybody! And, can you believe there was snow on Easter??? I thought we were done with that white stuff!5 more days until their 1st birthday! Tons of things to do to prepare! We hope you had a blessed Easter and remember why we really celebrate this special event!

A very scary trip to the ER for Maddison






Here is a few pictures from today with our girls laughing, playing, and having fun. However, this was not the case on Thursday. Maddison fell, and hit her mouth. Her mouth full of blood, Jeff scooped her up and of course I take her to see. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head, her body went completely limp, and she lost consciousness for a few seconds. After she came back she was alert and crying hysterically. We rinsed her mouth to find the source of the bleeding. We called the emergency excange at Children's Hospital. There was a piece of tissue/skin? that connects the gums to the lip and it was stuck in between her front two teeth. We went to the ER to get her checked out. They observed her for a possible head trauma and said her gums were fine. Either she worked it out on the way there or it was just swollen and we were panicked. In the end, everything was fine. The next day she was very cautious about walking. I'm afraid it takes a few falls to get to perfection. That has to be the scariest moment I have ever experienced. Now she is happy, playing, and laughing once again. Life is good and precious!

On another note, less than 2 weeks until their FIRST birthday. It's a princess theme....only fitting!

Silly Girls




So yesterday, I am in the other room for just a few minutes. I hear some strange noises coming from the bathroom. And this is what I find! And don't be fooled, Cameryn did the same thing the day before except I watched her. She is so tall and uses it to her advantage. They love bathtime so much that they like to be IN the bathtub even when it's empty and they have their clothes on. Silly girls!

Happy March!



Today was a great day to begin the month of March. It was so lovely outside, that we all took a walk. The twins seem to enjoy the nice weather too! We are so ready for warm weather and Spring.

The twins are 11 months old (yesterday)

Wow how I can't believe time flies. As Jeff and I were reflecting over the past 11 months, we are amazed at how much we forgot. I wish that we could take back the the months when they had such awful reflux that we dreaded every feeding. They were so small then and we would love to hold them one more time at that age. I think I might even shed a tear or two on their 1st birthday because I don't want them to grow up... Yet I am so excited about the future. Jeff will be glad though for one reason...we can turn Cameryn Grace's carseat around and he will have a lot more leg room. He says we will travel a lot more then.I'll stop rambling and share their 11 month pictures with you. Happy Leap Year Day!!!

Best Palz



They are absolutely loving bathtime now! It's so much fun to watch them splash and play and giggle. I love being a mommy and watching these priceless moments! Thank You God!!!

BUSTED!



Look out when you open the refrigerator. Two very quick babies can take over in a snap. Update for this week: Maddison is taking between 4-6 steps per walking adventure. We are so proud of her. She is imitating sounds and words. The other day we were looking at their night light (which she is infatuated with) and I said light and she said "ight" and also for birdy she said "bubu" Getting the first letter correct and the number of syllables that I said. Such a smart girl she is. Each baby is at their own pace and we celebrate each baby as an individual for accomplishments. Cameryn loves to shred toilet paper and throw things into the bathtub. I should have got a picture instead of cleaning it up right away. The bathroom was COVERED in toilet paper with guilty little smiles from Cameryn Grace and Maddison so proud of their ripping abilities. Everyday is an adventure in the Woollard house that's for sure!!!

Can you tell us apart?


What a striking resemblence of Cameryn Grace and myself around her age. This is me...perhaps on my first birthday as the hint from eating cake. Scroll down to see Cameryn who is on the right side. (Thanks, Dad for bringthing the pictures over.)

Striking Resemblence


What do you think? Cameryn Grace is on the right side, if you don't know who's who by now. We definately have the same eyes. Mine were blue back then too. I hope hers will stay that color.

Video of the twins' first bath in a big tub!

So finally the bathtub is done (minus a few cosmetics we need to complete. The girls got their first bath in the big tub. It is so different, but they seemed to enjoy it. I'm not sure how long these "bath rings" will last since they were wanting to get up. Here's some video of it. Enjoy!
Updates- Cameryn Grace is now standing up all by herself.

Our Little Sunflower Girls



Last Monday I took the girls in to the Picture People to get their pictures taken in a special Sunflower costume. It reminds me of the Anne Geddes (sp) photographs. Maddison took TWO steps today!!!! Uncle Grayson was over today helping redo our bathtub area. After tomorrow it will be the first time the girls will actually take a bath in a real tub! They have been using the infant bathtub over the kitchen sink. Long story short..while I was humungisly pregnant and tried to push myself to a sitting position and it pushed tiles into the wall and from there we had plumbing issues as well. Well...we will sure be so grateful and happy when it is done. Have a wonderful weekend!

My Lovely Twins Cameryn Grace (left) and Maddison (right)

I can't believe 10 months has already passed. I also can't believe how much they have changed from the time they were born. Cameryn Grace is now almost 22 lbs and 30" tall. She is a total sweetheart, easy going, and loves to dance. Maddison is now almost 18 lbs and 27 3/4"tall. She is a ray of sunshine, a total drama queen, and is very active. Both are crawling and cruising. Maddison took her first step last week. They both love to practice walking though. Their favorite game to play right now is "chase." They squeel with laughter while chasing each other and watching to make sure the other is following. I was told they would be in opposite directions once they got mobile, however that is not the case. They want to be where the other is. I'm so glad they enjoy each other's company. It is surely fun to watch this unique twin bond that they have. That's all for now! :)
