This morning on the eve of his 1st birthday, Brendan woke up in his own bed in his own home with his family for the 183rd time. This is significant! He has slept 182 nights in a hospital, and this is the first time where the ratio has tipped in the right direction. Funny timing!

This is the last day of the first year of their lives, and I am so glad that I have kept up this blog to document the journey we have taken. I never thought I would be a blogger!

It was another busy day of too many babies! They are smart and trouble!

Trevor says, “Hey Caleb, look I got Mommy’s phone! What should we do?”

Watching videos

We played the “Happy Baby” song that Trevor loved to dance to in an earlier video. Obviously it did not touch Caleb the same way.

We had to make sure to get a picture of the boys with their Aunt Erin while she is here! Brendan can’t believe that he needs to sit for more pictures with Trevor!

Brendan thinks Trevor has the cutest little pinchable cheeks! He says, “Come on, Trevor, smile for the camera!”

Here’s a zoom of the last photo just because it is so hilarious.

Tired me and my not-so-baby baby boys!

We tried to take pictures of Trevor in his new jammies that he got for his bday. But he just wanted to dance!

Then there was the “Battle of the Tape”. The roll of tape was the item in play for the evening.

Gramma tried to sneak and take a picture after he was asleep, but he popped his eyes open right as the camera clicked!! Fortunately he went right back to sleep!

We are prepping for tomorrow’s celebration! mmmm caaaaaake!

I often have anywhere from 10 to 120 pictures to choose from for the blog each night. I pick only the best to post, although months later when I look back, I appreciate some of the “cuts” more. So with that in mind, I share some of my favorite “outtakes” from the portrait session yesterday!!
