Daddy and Mommy gave the girls Dora 4 wheelers for their birthday. They loved them immediately and learned how to ride them fairly easily. They are still not very good at controlling them as evidenced by them running into the walls and each other.
They had chocolate cupcakes and one more "Happy Birthday" song each. Abigail was actually able to blow out her candle on her own. Daddy helped Emily with hers.
Another big moment was turning their car seats around to face the front. I thought they would love being able to see the world going in the right direction, but they cried the first couple of times they rode like this. Now they are used to it and do fine.
We had to go to the doctor for a well baby check up the day after their birthday. They had to get 4 shots each and a finger stick to check for anemia(both are fine). They were also weighed and measured. Their offical 1 year old stats are: Emily: 31 and 1/2 inches tall(greater than 97%) and 21 lbs. 15 oz(greater than 70%). She is actually catching up with sister who was previously a whole pound heavier, but now only 3 ounces. Abigail: 31 and 3/4 inches tall(greater than 97%) and 22 lbs. and 2 oz(75%).
