Dancing babies

Amanda may be little…

… but she can hold her own.

Here’s my interpretation of what’s going though their heads.

Amanda picks up the book and says, “I’m gonna give this to mommy. Oops, I fell.”
Ashley, being the pain in the butt younger sister, immediately makes a move to get in Amanda’s way. “Haha, can’t get past me… I’m even going to arch my back so you can’t use the couch to get by.”
Amanda says, “Outta the way fatso!” and proceeds to throw her out of the way with a stiff arm before finishing her off with a hip check.

Ashley says, “Hi.”

Happy Birthday Amanda and Ashley

We got some Hawaiian takeout and gave the babies some cupcakes today to celebrate on their actual birthday.

Amanda went to town:

Ashley seemed to like in a slightly more reserved fashion:

No surprise, Alissa was also a fan:

With grandparents (and everyone looking and smiling at the same time!)

Amanda and Ashley’s first birthday party

jason — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 06:56:18 +0000

We had a small party for the twins today at Yeah! restaurant in Redwood City. We were able to rent out nearly the entire restaurant and ended up packing it entirely with good friends and family. The food was pretty good I thought although they were late in serving and slow to replenish. But otherwise, I think everyone had a good time. Bonnie brought a bunch of crayons and coloring books for the smaller kids. And we hired a balloonist to make all sorts of fun things that both smaller and bigger kids seemed to enjoy. Also, I put together a video to play on the flat screen in the background. The first half is the same video I did covering their first few days and the second half is from the rest of the year.

And what is a birthday party without birthday cake?! We ordered this one from Anderson Bakery. (Bonnie made the lady bugs and bumblebees with fondant herself.) It was pretty tasty… white cake, strawberry cream frosting and raspberry filling. Just sweet enough and very tasty.

We had to wake Ashley up to cut the cake. Neither she nor Amanda was all that into it.

Look at that chubster! Jacqueline is pretty cheeky herself. (KIDDING Benita… jeesh.)

I thought this was a nice family pic of the Wee’s.

Can you find the baby?

Last night, Amanda and Ashley were playing in the play area and then Ashley decided to just take a nap amidst the toys. Can you find her?

Ashley practically running!

Ok, she’s not running. But from the video, you can see she’s gone from taking a few tentative steps at a time to really getting a move on. They grow up so fast… *sniff*.

Amanda is ready to take her first steps, but she’s kinda chicken. Won’t be long though before they’re all doing laps around the house.

Ashley’s first real steps

jason — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 02:36:58 +0000

Ashley has been taking single steps here and there for a couple weeks now. But today, she did eight steps in a row so I think I would call today the day she really started walking. Alissa was at this stage right at her first birthday so Ashley seems to be tracking right about the same as her birthday is only a couple weeks away. Amanda has started taking a step here and there as well so I’m sure she’ll be walking right around her birthday as well. Great… thankfully, we bought a gate to contain the madness!

Random pictures from the little camera

I did a purge of the pictures from our little camera and thought these were worth sharing.

Daddy pedicure.

Not bad form!

Chunky legs.

Chicken legs.

Too cool for school.
