As you can see, though they are twins, they are very different developmentally and in their personalities.

It doesn't seem possible to me that almost a year has gone by since we welcomed these teeny, tiny preemie babies into our family.

Though I miss those tiny babies dearly, I looove having these two fun loving, mobile, crazy, amazing almost toddlers to play with and (occasionally) snuggle as well. ;-)
