Climbing inside is more fun than pushing this toy.

What movie should we watch tonight?

Climbed to the top all by herself.

First pigtails for this doll. 

Placing toys in the basket. 

Getting lots of attention at Costco for being so darn adorable. 

Shayla is my quirky, specific, and moody baby. Scarlett is my easy-to-please, overly sensitive baby. Add some sickness into the mix and we have a ball! Add a sick Kinsey into the mix and it's like I have triplets. They both love their big sister very much and tend to follow her around the house to see what she's up to. 

We're all a fan of mac and cheese around here.

Some days Kinsey is the sweetest big sister ever. 

 They both have such strong, individual personalities. I like a good matching outfit for my girls, but we tend to coordinate their clothes and not put them in the same thing because they are two very different people. 

This is probably about the cutest thing in the world. 

They both love going outside to play. It will be so much easier when they can run around on their own.

Celebrating their birthday week by going out to eat. 

 All the Walker cousins were together the week before the girls turned 1. We had a little photo shoot for all these cuties. 

Don't mess with Scarlett too close to bedtime. 

This past year has been so amazing and exhausting with my three beautiful girls. I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for these little ones.
