Now that we're 1...

I have been so bad lately at updating our blog, so I'll try to fill everyone in on what we've been up to now that we're 1. Mitchell started taking some steps at 12 months and now at 13 months he's doing a lot more, but still prefers crawling when he's in a hurry to snatch something from brother. Is it bad that he's already NOT sharing?? We went over to Hollis' house this weekend and he was a BIG BULLY!! Parker played much better with Hollis than Mitchell, probably b/c Parker's used to having Mitchell take things from him all the time! We're working on Mitchell's bulliness. Parker is crawling all over the place!! They have recently discovered each other and they crack each other up...it's very sweet!! They got this tunnel thing for Christmas and have had a ball chasing each other through it. They are currently trying to transition to 1 nap a day b/c they started only sleeping 20-30 mins. in the afternoon. This has become quite the challenge, though, as they are zombies by 10:30. They love chasing after anything that rolls including: balls, water bottles, canned veggies, trucks and riding toys. They also conquered drinking out of a straw. Their favorite time of day is still bath time. They love splashing, standing up and plopping down, putting their hands under the faucet, reading their bath book "Spot Goes Splash", and playing with all their bath toys!! They still are NOT sleeping through the night every night. Last night, for example, Parker was up at 12:30 a.m., 3:40 a.m., and 5:45 a.m. and that is getting REALLY old!! Since they share a room whenever I hear one of them, i run up there asap so they won't wake up the other one. I know i know, I need to just turn off the monitor and let them duke it out, but for some reason, I am paranoid that if I do that, they will somehow jump out of their crib and get hurt and I would never know~isn't that ridiculous?? Anyways...my sweet babies are getting so BIG and it's very hard to believe hot fast they grow up!!
