Fynn Stevens was born first at 6:14 p.m. weighing in at 5 lbs 6 oz. He looked like a cute, little old man. He was soooo loud when he cried and definitely let us all know he had arrived.
Sutton Eric was born second at 6:16 p.m. weighing in at 5 lbs 12 oz. He had mama's big lips and they were quivering. He cried too but not as much and not as loud.
That feeling of seeing your child for the first time is something that a parent NEVER forgets. It makes me tear up even right now. This overwhelming sense of pride, love, fear, hope all at one time.
All I wanted was to be a mother and in one day I got two gorgeous amazing sons.
Fynn has always made silly faces and has always been the entertainment. He was pretty feisty as a newborn but at the age of one he is my sweet, obeying, gentle, happy boy that makes me laugh and smile all day, every day.
Sutton was the most laid-back newborn I have ever been around. He slept through his first 3 months and was so quiet and peaceful. Now at age one he is my busy body that loves to get into everything and bash and smash and destroy everything! He is ornery and silly and loves to talk up a storm. He too makes me laugh and smile all day, every day.
For their first birthday I made them sugar free pancakes with some fruit, we played, napped and then went to Kiki & Pappy's for the afternoon so we could work. W had dinner at the house with Kiki & Pappy & Auntie Nai (Jason's mom, dad and little sister) as well as with Papa O (my stepdad). Then it was time for CUPCAKES!!!! Their first sugar!!! I've been dreading this day for a year! I want my kids to be healthy eaters so I was hesitant.
Fynn just started in on his but he was very proper and ate it like every other thing he eats.....one piece at a time. But the boy polished it off and loved every crumb.
Sutton cried. He was not sure what to do and didn't like having an audience. But Pappy, Mommy and Daddy all helped and he ended up loving it and he too polished it off....just not as clean as his brother.
The boys are learning new things all the time.....they love to clap and wave "bye bye." They have said "mama," "dada," "up," "bubba" so we are working on forming actual words but man, they love to jibber jabber!!!!
The birthday party is Saturday and I cannot wait!! I've had shirts made for them, custom banners, hats for them, their cakes will be so cute!!!
