Meet the Twin Boys at Four and a Half Months

Shortly after the twin boys were born I posted brief introductions to the personalities of the newborns. What struck us most then was how different they already seemed to be. You can read the original posts here and here.

2006 was very good and very challenging to our now family of six. The twins have been a great blessing to us. Here is what they have grown into:

Twin A (the first-born and smallest)
Weighed 14 pounds and 1 ounce at his last dr's visit (just before Christmas)
Has prominent blue veins on his head
Has a crooked smile
Tends to be very stiff and intense
Only poops about once a day now (his overpooping and underpooping have been concerns)
Has been on antibiotics once
Seems to be getting another ear infection (this was chronic with his sister who took ear tubes and surgery; she just got over another one)
Is teething with nothing to show for all the drooling
Is talkative
Is mostly bald
Seems to say "ma.ma.ma.ma" when he is crying
Has beautiful blue eyes
Loves to run in place while laying on his back (especially after coming off Benadryl or while nude)
Enjoys watching TV
Has a narrower face than his brother though they are starting to look more alike
Is a fitful sleeper
Has has a clogged tear duct in his left eye since birth

Twin B (the second-born and largest)
Weighed 15 pounds and 6 ounces at his last dr's appointment (just before Christmas)
Is very floppy and laid back
Looks at you like you are the greatest thing in the world
Melts right in to whoever is holding him
Is very talkative
Is mostly bald (has a bulging vein on the back of his head; his doctor told us not to let him shave his head when gets older (for aesthetic, not medical reasons))
Enjoys watching TV
Has big beautiful blue eyes
Has a round, happy face that lights up the room
Calms down very easily (once he gets fed)
Is a very intense eater
Tries to take out his pacifier and put it back in (he has the taking out part down, but struggles with putting it back in)
Likes to be held or in visual range
Is helping me write this post
Is a manly burper
Is a good sleeper
Likes to hold onto a blanket or towel

They are both much loved by us all.

Can you tell which is which?



Peace
