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!!
Good Morning from the East Coast!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR TREVOR AND BRENDAN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! Have an awesome , fun filled day!!!! Prayers, love and HUGEST HUGS EVER!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Happy birthday, Brendan and Trevor! WOO! I remember getting a text from Aunt Schna a year ago that said, “Babies have arrived!” And I was like, “Uh…what babies?” (thinking that it was too early to be you two). But you’ve been here a year, and it’s been a wild ride so far! Here’s to many returns!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Li’l B and T-Dogg!! 🙂 Eat some cake for me (and make sure your Mom takes pictures too), or at least smash some cake around and make a mess if you’re not yet ready for the eating part. Happy you have extra family around to celebrate with you today.
p.s. outtakes are awesome.
Happy Birthday, Brendan and Trevor!! I am so happy that I have been able to be such a big part of your first year. I have been with you in AZ more days than I have been at home! I love you both very much, and hope that this coming year will be filled with many wonderful new accomplishments, good times, sleep for Mommy and Daddy, and all good things for both of you. You are both amazing little boys!! 🙂 🙂
Lots of love, hugs, and kisses,
Gramma
Happy Birthday boys! So nice to see you shared your portrait session with the Purple People Eater. Is he a mysterious lost triplet brother? Or has the naughty level reached such heights that it has become its own critter? What a big milestone to have reached with so many changes. We can’t wait to see what year 2 brings. Enjoy that cake! Maybe Brendan will even taste a little =).
