The babies are 1 year. Today they got their one year check up and they are both 21lbs. Zev is just 1 ounce heavier than Orli and he is 1/2 inch taller. So he is not the "bigger" one by that much. They are still not walking yet, but Orli can pull you to where she wants to go as she walks. Before their birthday we got some photos taken at the mall, because they are our kids, they came out very cute despite exposure, focus, contrast and what ever else a real photograher may critique, you know who you are (hint hint, take some art photos of our kids). It was exausting, they kept crawling away, crying, trying to play with toys and never really looking and smiling at the camera. The poor chick did manage to snap a few good ones. Maybe we'll scan them in.
The party was on Saturday, Zev and Orli had their own cakes and a cupcake each to mush up.
Both tried to grab the flames of the candles and then Zev mushed his cake in his eye. It swelled up and had a bubble in it, that got better after a few hours. Then before bedtime he tripped and fell and smacked his cheek on a box.
They got tons of gifts, every one was so generous. They got puzzles, a cat and dog plush toy, a frog and penguin stuffed animals, finger puppets, something that makes noise from Auntie Faline, a pinic bench from fi_and_c, money, clothes, PJs, a jewish book, onsies that say "if you think I'm cute you should see my twin", drum and instruments (now we can throw away our ghetto water bottle filled with beans instrument), lots of adorable outfits you'll see them modeling this summer here on this blog.
We learned two of our dear friends are expecting, yeah more babies!! We can't wait.
Meanwhile other dear friends gave birth last Wednesday to a baby boy, name to be announced today at the brit milah. So they missed out on the party to say the least. Orli and Zev can't wait to meet him.
Oh and how could we forget. A surprise vist from their big cousin Autumn with her daddy and mommy all the way from Arizona, and Aunti Sherry and uncle Larry. Auntie Faline brought her adorable little man Lincoln with his huge blue eyes that made everyone say "boy he's going to be a heart breaker when he grows up". Benjamin was there, so was Nico and Alex, Nico is also 1 and can walk, Henry with his mommy and daddy were there too.
