All my most recent pictures are on my new camera that I have yet hooked up to the computer, so I will update current pics very soon!

Unreal to think that in 4 more months.....we will be celebrating a 2nd Birthday for Adelyn & Axton...what happen to my "babies"?!?! They are getting SO big and running around chattering like little people.

They are saying quite a few words...Mommy, DaDa, Num Num, Car, Truck, Tractor, Daisy, PaPa, Hi, Bye Bye, Snow, Elmo, Kitty, Juice, Cracker, Cookie, Hop Hop, Baby....those are just off the top of my head, so they are doing a great job :)

They are starting to learn what animals say...they have a dog, cow and monkey down so far :) Adelyn was trying to do fish lips last night and she got the biggest kick out of me doing them. Pretty neat how easily entertained they are sometimes...Love them to pieces!

Axton LOVES his cars, trucks and tractors...he will sit and entertain himself for quite sometime playing and pushing his toys around. He also LOVES hats...he put one on and runs to the mirror to look at himself. It is one of the cutest things to see him looking at himself and smiling from ear to ear.

Adelyn on the other hand, LOVES to be entertained...she loves looking at books and sitting on my lap. She loves jewelry and running to look at herself in the mirror with Mommy's necklace on :)

They play well together, as long as there is no taking trucks/cars from Axton :) Last night, Axton was in the wrestling mood, he practically gets Adelyn pinned down and just nudges his head into her, giggling more than ever. It doesn't last long, because Adelyn does not like the roughness of her little brother :) It is so amazing to see how God created a boy and a girl and that their senses are completely directed to "girl" and "boy" activities.

Christmas was very fun this past year. Adelyn was present queen...she knew there was something inside those wrapped packages. Axton was not as interested, so Adelyn got to open twice as many gifts! She was more excited about getting clothes than toys...I must say, that is my girl :) Once Axton opened a truck, that was the end of his attention span for presents....he was focused on that truck for the rest of the night.

Adelyn and Axton have grown into little kids who have filled out hearts with so much love. They continue to learn something new everyday, which is just so amazing to watch them take everything in. We thank God for their healthy & strong growing bodies. I pray that He continues to bless both babes and our family.

Thank you to all our family and friends for your unconditional love and support!

Love Grant, Chas, Adelyn, Axton & Daisy Arnoldink
