The Twins Turn One

Are they really related?

W takes his first bite of a cupcake.

M tries to eat the entire cupcake in one bite.

One year ago today, the second of the twin boys scared me by emerging motionless and blue. Now he is a healthy and round one year old though still often motionless. Sometimes we are shocked by how different the two of them are. My fears of not being able to tell them apart are long past.


Here is who they are at one year old:

W (the first born)
Dark complexion, dark hair
One wild curl behind his right ear
Eats anything
Strong and wiry
Climbs everything
An escape artist
Blue-eyed
Throws himself into everything
Goes over things instead of around them
Has begun to put a toy to his ear as though it is a phone
Has taken a few tentative steps
Has started to get his leg stuck in his crib
Loves TV
Enjoys making noise
Impresses the family with pull ups on the pack & play
Prefers to hop
Laughs easily and quickly
Ticklish all over




M (the second born)
Light, pale complexion
Very light brown, thin hair
Picky, demanding, and voracious eater
A gentle giant
Sees no reason to escape
Blue-eyed
Studies things before deciding to touch
Goes around things
Has learned to wave this week
Has taken a few tentative steps
Makes some really entertaining attempts at clapping
Loves his momma
Prefers to sway
Only ticklish in the right places at the right time
