New Family Pictures

We had family pictures done shortly after the kids turned 1! With them crawling now there were a lot more "action" shots this time.

And They're Off!

It's official...they are both crawiling. Caleb started crawling the day after their 1st birthday and Sarah, not to be out done, started a few days later. YIKES! So far, Sarah has figured out which button turns on the TV, she has had her first mobility injury (a nice little bump on the head), and loves to show mommy everything that can possibly be a safety hazard. Caleb wants to pull himself up on anything and everything and in doing so has found some unique places to use as teethers. He has had two new teeth break through this week and two more are right behind. Naptime has become quite a fun experience in the Speasl household. Now they can see each other across their room and spend more time chatting and giggling than napping.

First Birthday

We celebrated the kids' first birthday on May 5th. We went to a local pool. The really love the water! They also really enjoyed the cake! They are growing and changing so fast. Sarah's favorite mode of transportation is rolling all over the place. She is working on crawling but isn't quite there. She has pulled herself up as well. She says mama and dada, bye bye with a cute little backwards wave and throws her arms out and says "tada!" Too cute. Caleb has just started crawling. He seems more eager to pull himself up. He also goes from his back/belly to sitting and back again. They are really starting to discover each other. They make each other giggle (and mommy & daddy as well!) They will both take steps if you hold their hands. It's amazing how quickly they learn!
