An amazing year:)

So one year ago, we had our first ultrasound.  It was confirmed we were pregnant, but not whether the pregnancy was viable.  They did not see the heartbeat, but we were only 5weeks 5 days along, and finding a heartbeat that early is hard.  We did not find out we were having twins until mid-January at our third ultrasound!  So unbelievable that now we have these amazing 5 month old babies:)

Brother antics

I read somewhere (and can't remember where) that twins usually start interacting somewhere around five months, and don't really start playing "with" (vs playing alongside) one another until 18-24 months.  Well, these two are just too cute lately...really beginning to notice one another every once in awhile.  And, their balance is getting really good...in this video, Ben stands and balances himself for a few seconds:)
