Monthly Milestones for Francesca & Julianna

Like every mom, I had the best intentions for posting monthly photos of my baby - with a fancy embroidered onesie with her age or some other coordinated sticker set or crafty creation found on Etsy or Pinterest. But then we had twins and seeing as how I couldn't manage to document Nicholas' first year in that manner, I don't know why I thought I could swing it with twins newborns and a toddler in tow. :-) So when they turned 1 month old, I looked desperately around the sea of toys that had engulfed our living room and landed on Nico's magnetic writing board. Perfect! A quick swipe and we had our documentation, kid-friendly and all. I think I got the first few months posted elsewhere, but here I am in March, with about six months of photos in the backlog. So I decided to put them all here on the same post - which, hopefully, I will add to in the months to come....but we all know how that goes. It is fun to see the progression of their growth! Nine months is just around the corner... and we hope Francesca will finally start sleeping the 12 hour stretch her sister figured out at age 4 months. Here they are!
