The twins are ONE!

12 Fun Twin Facts

1) Vienna has become a mamma's girl. Even if poppa is holding her, she'll still want momma. Cause you know, momma's more fun (-:

2) Vienna can understand commands w/out gestures. She gives momma kisses upon request. Gramma D taught her 'rub your tummy'....and so on.

3) Vienna started sleeping on her tummy, with butt in the air. Alot of babies do this, but when your own does it, it's reallllllly cute.

4) Laurel loves to walk holding your hand. She'll loop around and around and around.

5) Laurel has perfected her sit-n-spin defense mechanism against Vienna (who's a tad more aggressive). Think basket-ball court moves.

6) Laurel likes her space. Sometimes Vienna just has to touch her and she'll throw a fit.

MS. Sensitive.

7) Laurel will touch her chin when she's shy, unsure or pensive.

8) Vienna is our little monkey. She loves to imitate, esp poppa, who doesnt always teach her 'proper, ladylike' behavior. Just ask her to make 'the face'.

9) Sometimes, after making Laurel cry, Vienna will pat Laurel's head to make nice.

10) The temper tantrums have started. Laurel will spread out on the ground, kicking her legs. Vienna will growl and scream LOUD. Lots of drama over here.

11) Vienna will say thank you or 'xhi xhi' when you hand her objects. Isnt that chinese?

12) Laurel has a couple of birth marks. A small, brown circle on her right shoulder and i think a 'Mongolian' purplish mark on her left buttocks. Not sure if the latter will eventually fade.

Motor V walks and stands from sitting on her own. L still needs alittle support--but she's close behind. And with gramma Vu on the trip, she doesnt stand a chance.

Fav Toy V: rolling around in ball pit and bouncing on the zebra. L: her stick bunny and steaming rolling over people.

They are our first and last. Let them not grow up too fast!
