Terrible Two times Two

Adam and Zach are two!

And just look how far we've come.  
 (minutes old)














I was scared to death to hold them.  There they were, two very tiny little boys, but - naturally - perfect.  After nine long weeks in the NICU we were finally able to bring them home.  It's still hard to believe just how small they were then.  

And here we are today.  My Big Boys!


  

























So alike:  They both have big, dark eyes; their curly hair (fro-hawks) has come exactly the same; and both have goofy personalities. My boys are quite the dancers (I think they get that from Dad).  They love music, cars, balls, and Elmo.  They even have their own language.

But so different:  Adam is a ham.  He'll do just about anything for a laugh, whereas Zach will do anything for a hug.  Adam weighs about 26 pounds, has a rounder face, and is slightly taller.  He has always been a little bigger.  Zach is about 24 pounds, and has a longer face.  Adam usually hits milestones first.  Zach has a dimple under his left eye.  

I can't say one is more dominate than the other.  They take turns being the "bad twin".  

They are such characters - talking dancing, teasing each other and tormenting their big sister.  Rarely a dull moment at our house.  

Happy Birthday Adam and Zachy!

I remember holding them when you brought them home. Daniel was so scared he was going to hurt one of them they were so small. What cuties they have become.
