18 months feels like a huge milestone, but then no milestone has really felt small. New month, new challenges, new delights. Highlights of this month include:

Doing Christmas crafts and pretty much hating ever minute of it, I loved it though
A family photoshoot with the cousins, (Thanks Auntie JoJo for this lovely photo!)
Celebrating our second Christmas with the babes, new toys, new books, new lewks
They are getting so good at puzzles
Reading a million books (or the same books a million times), we’re working the library back into our routine
Arthur began kinda sleeping through the night, sometimes, I can’t tell you what the added sleep has done for us, it’s incredible
A trip to the botanical gardens with Auntie JoJo, begun fighting the stroller (noooooo!), but very well behaved in the giftshop (yayyy!)
I can see them working out their independence already, and they have such a desire to help us with daily life tasks, Arthur is a PRO as helping me close the fridge and Theo is just about the only one who can help me get that dishwasher closed
As I see their personalities emerge, I fall more and more in love, they are such great kids, we’re so lucky
