The past couple of days have been special anniversaries for our family. On Wednesday it was one year that Loen has been home, then yesterday it was their due date. I know it seems crazy to want to celebrate their due date but in the world of micropreemies you actually have to use that date a lot. At the doctors, specialists, therapy, dentist, etc we are always asked for their birthday and then their adjusted age (how old they would be if they were born on their due date.) Some things such as medications go by weight and actual age, while others such as certain vaccines and developmental tests are done by their adjusted age.
We decided we would have a little celebration just the 4 of us for their ‘due date birthday’, or as someone said to me “an excuse to eat cake”. Since the twins weren’t able to have cake on their actual birthday I thought I would get some mini cupcakes (from Crushcakes….YUM) for them to try out. I think we built it up in our mind that it would be a crazy free for all. Unfortunately for Derby I had him try out peach yogurt an hour before and it made him throw up so I decided that trying out another new food wouldn’t be a good idea….so no cupcake for Derbs. Loen, my little girl, looked at the cupcake with interest then proceeded to eat it very daintily. Tadd said he is afraid she is going to be a “prissy girl” after watching her eat the cupcake, well that and she likes to brush her hair. I had to remind him she is quite ferocious when another kid tries to take a toy from her, especially her brother. She aint that dainty!
They NEEDED a due date prize!
Mmmmm…..paper
They like these big knob puzzles, especially to chew on
Derby was excited for his new chewy toys
Cupcake!

I love how the pics show stuff in their mouths. I’m never sure if Gabe is smiling at me, or trying to open his mouth wider so he can cram his hand in it.

[...] next day we were downtown and right by the bakery so we picked up some cupcakes for after lunch. Last year Derby didn’t eat a cupcake and Loen was tentative with her first bites. This year there was [...]
