Owen & Carter's first birthday is almost upon us and some times I have to wonder where the time went. The first three months were somewhat of a blur as sleep was definitely at a premium. They have grown and changed so much over the last year. It's hard to believe these 25 pound little boys were ever tiny, 6 pound newborns.
People always ask what it's like having twins and often I am at a loss for words. There is no way to accurately describe the joy of being a mother of multiples. Sure there are days when I want to pull my hair out and curse at the top of my lungs because they are both screaming and crying at the same time. And if I am being honest here, I should tell you that I've been known (on occasion) to join in. What's that saying again? If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
Most people tend to have this wonderful vision of what it would be like having twins. You know, the one where the babies are happily entertaining each other, sharing toys, giggling and carrying on without a care in the world. I too fell victim to this picture perfect dream, that is until I actually became a mother of multiples. That vision was quickly shattered when I realized not only did Owen and Carter not show any interest in each other, but that they seemed to be oblivious to the fact that they weren't the only baby in the house.
It's only in the last few months that Owen and Carter have really started taking notice of their other half. Every morning and after their naps they greet each other with big toothy grins, almost as if they haven't seen each other for days. It is these moments that melt my heart and make me feel truly blessed to be the mother of identical twin boys. I guess those visions weren't so far fetched after all, it just took some time.
Here are some videos I shot a couple of days ago.... does this look like your vision of twins?

Those are the most precious videos ever! I had a smile on my face the whole time and found myself giggling when they giggled. How fun that they have someone to play with their whole lives.

They are so cute laughing and playing together. My girls have just started, I'm still waiting for them to really play together and not as much next to each other!
