A moment of Thanks

Just a quick note about the twins: We are really starting to hear actual words now. They don't string too many words together, but they really are starting to make sense. Right now Zev can seem to say a few more words more clearly than Orli can. We know that will change as it does every time we think one kid appears to be developing more skills more quickly than the others. Now we have heard that girls walk and boys talk. So far the twins are fitting that mold. Orli walked two months earlier than Zev and she also seemed to talk and point earlier. Now, Zev can say things more clearly and seem to identify and say the name of objects more than Orli can. That is not to say that Orli can't understand you, she certainly can and even without words she's very much able to indicate what she wants, when she's disappointed and even tell a joke. She's very clever and perhaps a little bit more calculating than Zev. Zev is very sweet and affectionate, we are not sure if that is a trait of boys, he's more apt to hug and kiss and go "awww" to his sister. And he can say "Ori" that is how he calls his sister. Orli says "buh buh" and has stopped saying "Zuuuzz", which she said months ago.
