15 Months

Rylee and Ayden are a year and a quarter old today!  It's so cliche to say this, but they are growing so quickly!  They are actually like real little people now.  We have toddlers!  I haven't done monthly pictures or a post since their birthday, so I thought it was time for an update.

Taking pictures of them together is virtually impossible anymore.  Well, I can get pictures.  They typically are just very blurry because I cannot get them BOTH to sit still together for more than a few seconds at a time.  I have to have my phone set to camera and ready to take pictures quick, or they are long gone.  Today, I tried sitting them on the couch together in my attempt to keep them still for a moment.  That didn't work.  I then tried laying them down on the floor together.  That KIND of worked, as long as I played with them a bit by throwing the blanket over their head and playing peek-a-boo long enough for me to put my camera in position to snap a photo.  Imagine this: trying to hold Rylee still on the floor while laying her brother down next to her, then having to hold them both still long enough to quickly pick up my phone before either one of them gets to it first, and take a picture before either of them move.  Impossible.

Truthfully, I do not have the patience to keep trying after a few failed attempts of getting them to be still so I usually give up.  I do think I got a few decent ones today though.  Nothing professional mind you, but at least a few of them aren't blurry!  haha!

Comparison to exactly a year ago

This is what pictures usually look like when I try to get one with both of them together!



But I did manage to capture these:

Trying to get my phone

"Gimme that phone!"

"Never mind!  I'll just pick Rylee's nose instead."

  1. LOL. This is exactly how it is in my house- except with one of course! They make it quite difficult to get a good picture these days!! I find myself taking more videos than anything else because at least I capture what Izzy is up to.... :-)
