Sentimental Saturday: Could These Beauties Be Any More Fraternal? 23 Months & Climbing!
Sentimental Saturday: Could These Beauties Be Any More Fraternal? 23 Months & Climbing!
2-11-2012
We are 23 months, 1 week, & 2 days old.
1st we go cutesy. Could there be a more tender moment among twins? (No matter how short those moments may be.)
Then we go pure diva
Then we get dirty.
(Yummy dirt!)
We then wonder, how on Earth are these two even related? They look NOTHING alike.
It’s quite comical to me still. When I was at the mall and some woman working one of those booths was so taken back at how identical the girls appeared some months ago, she told me to go and have a DNA test to prove those lying doctors wrong. Yes, keeping a straight face was indeed not easy.
What about proving my eyesight wrong? She said she was an identical twin herself which made her the best judge of this. I was thinking, ”Vodka and O.J. at work so early? Really?”
Then you have the opposing side who just thinks they can’t even be related AT ALL they look so different. Yup, they had an extra bub left on the shelves in the maternity ward that blistery March day. I decided, “What the hell? What’s one more?”
In mom’s eyes..this is as fraternal as fraternal twins get in both looks and in personality.
*Annie-bug, Annie-belle*
I have..
Brown eyes
Dirty blond hair
A tiny small nose, almost too tiny and cute to pick.
Fine, sparse hair. Straight like mamas.
A small round face and head.
Rounder eyes that turn into half moons when smiling hugely.
More of an olive skin color then her sissy.
Adorably kissable lips. (Got to keep an eye on this one.)
An attitude and temper that makes Shannen Doherty look like a pussy cat. (And no..that is NOT an exaggeration!)
Then there’s…
*Allie Pop, Allina, Allie Ma Ma*
I have
Blue with some green eyes.
A wider nose I’d love to pinch if it wouldn’t hurt.
Thicker cheeks like a chipmunk. So cute!
Medium brown hair with auburn and golden highlights in it.
Waves in her hair ends.
Thick mane.
A little bit of a paler skin tone.
A larger, more heart-shaped face.
Almond shaped eyes.
Mommy’s lips that draw down at the sides.
Smaller ears.
A personality that is much more laid back then the other, who is by far more high strung. And she’s much more affectionate. Kind of like a puppy dog vs. a tiger.
Case in point?
Both inside and out just two entirely different people. But damn are they both ever cute. Love your twins for who they are, and listen to no one and nothing else.
23 months….Oh my! 2 years is right around the corner. Keep tuning in for more……….
Pics were taken by mom. We were out and about on a surprisingly warm February day showing off their personalities, and their adorable Bonnie Jean outfits and Mud Pie Coats from Mybabyclothes.com. Zebra print is so in baby!

They are beautiful! It’s a special world we live in with twins! Some days I feel blessed and then other days I feel cursed. But I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Yes indeed! I feel blessed 98% of the time. When I’m at the store and see a great sale with only one item remaining, I feel cursed, lol. Or when one twin is up at night then the other starts wailing and I’m all alone. CALGON TAKE ME AWAY! But through the intense chaos, I do feel the same..I wouldn’t have it any other way, though 2+ years ago, I would have said differently. Times do change:) xoxo
I love seeing your pictures and reading your posts. I also have fraternal twin girls who will be 2 on the 23 of March. My girls are polar opposites of each other. Cassandra (Cassie) is 28ish pounds, has a full head of shoulder length blond hair and green eyes. Jessica (Jessie) is 22ish pounds, very short baby fine dirty blond hair and blue eyes. Cassie has a fiery temper and wants everything her way when she wants it. Jessie has the easy come easy go type personality. When my husband and I go out we often have people asking us how old our daughters are and when we say they are twins everything thinks it is crazy because they are so different in size. To me they have NEVER looked anything alike, nor do I think they will ever look anything alike.
I will continue to read your posts
