what?
what are you looking at?
before you ask, yes we are twins.
everybody asks everywhere we go!
did you know that we cry in sync? i mean, exactly at the same time? it’s like surround sound.
the way that people tell us apart is that i (cate) am smaller.
and i (lucy) have way more hair.
people like to ask if we are identical, the answer is we don’t know.
when we were in my mommy’s tummy we shared one placenta, which can be an indicator of identical twins. but it can also mean that we are fraternal, and our placentas simply fused.
the only way to know for sure is a DNA test.
sometimes we look EXACTLY alike,
sometimes we look nothing alike.
it’s hard to tell because i (cate) am SO much smaller.
we have the same clefts in our chins,
the same angel’s kisses (birthmarks) above the same eye.
we have the same ears and belly buttons that look like they are going to be outies.
we don’t really like to snuggle yet. we suck on eachother’s noses and heads and claw eachother (spazzy arm movements+sharp baby fingernails aka talons).
we eat at the same time, pause eating at the same time, and even poop at the same time!!
when one of us wakes up from a nap, the other always stirs.
i (lucy) like to make the dr.evil pinky
ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARSSSSSSSSS!!!
i also look EXACTLY…i mean exactly like harper looked as a newborn.
(evil finger tap)
i (cate) look a lot like daddy. he even jokes that i have his hairline. ehehheheheh!
we love it here in the big world,
even though our sister sadie keeps aggresively trying to shove binkies in our mouths, and has a bad habit of doing this while we are trying to have a peaceful meal:
and we love our biggest sister harper, too.
life is good.
thanks nonna for the adorable pajamas and thanks to auntie shara for the GORGEOUS quilt!!
p.s. did you hear about pantone’s color of the year for 2011?
