Cole the funny man!

Last night Cole and I were sitting on the couch. I began to suspect he was overtired. This was my first clue...


(note: the video is dark...but the audio is perfect!)

Our Afternoon Stroll

It was a beautiful day today, so I got the boys dressed, packed their "puppies" and we hit the road. It was our first time using the side-by-side stroller (thanks Pete and Carolyn!) and the boys loved it! They could sit up and see everything. Every once and awhile they would giggle and I'd have to stop and see what was so funny. I think they liked the wind in their faces.

Looking forward to more nice days like today so we can get out of the house and explore. Spring can't come soon enough!

Video -- Hanging out in our bouncy chairs

This video of the boys was taken last week -- you should see the way these guys beat on these chairs. This video is so tame. Usually their hands and feet are going like crazy - it's funny to watch.

You can see how big they are getting! The doctor said that they are over the 95th percentile in terms of height and weight. That means that they are larger than most babies their age. It also means that we've had to upgrade car seats and baby gear sooner than we thought we would. They have just about outgrown their baby carriers already!

Cole Rolls Over!!

Thank god I took this video...Cole did this a few weeks ago and hasn't done it since. No one would have believed me!

Tommy and Cole are Identical!

Kevin and I decided to have the boys DNA tested after much debate. So many people had asked us if they were identical, that we were starting to question it ourselves. (Actually, there are times when even we confuse them! ) The boys had separate placentas which usually means that the twins are fraternal. However, there is a 30% chance that identical twins will actually have seperate placentas. For this to occur the egg has to split within the first 48 hours.

We had lots of bets placed with some pretty high stakes. Fancy dinners, assistance in painting rooms in our house - the works! Well after two weeks of waiting, the results came back positive!! The boys had no variations in their DNA -- meaning they are identical. The perfect match! Here was our Valentines Day announcement.
