Aquarium

That about sums up Lily's experience at the Aquarium.
Reese being a Pirate.
Loungin' at the gift shop.
In utero.

So we took the girls to the Point Pleasant Aquarium Monday and they had an awesome time. I could barely hold Lily. I am not sure what was more exciting to her, the sharks or all the kiddies. The sharks swimming toward the glass really didn't phase her, she would just jump up and down on the ledge and squeal. Reese was a bit more reserved about the whole thing, but I think she had a good time too. It was tough to compete with Lily's over-the-top response.

In other news Reese is definately crawling, just very slowly. I am sure in a week or so she will be all over the place alot faster. Lily can get around, just not what I would call a crawl. This is one thing I have learned as a twin mom. Not to get nervous or feel uncomfortable or bad when one does things first or better then the other. I was much more nervous in the beginning, when Reese would smile and Lily wouldn't and when Lily would coo and Reese just screamed. They just have different approaches to doing things, and they will have these different approaches at life which I encourage too. There are things that Reese can do better than Lily and vise versa. Its so great too. I never understood why twin moms dressed thier kids alike, and I have to say, when I was out with Lily & Reese the other day this other twin mom, with matching kids, kinda gave me the once over when she asked me "You don't dress them alike?". I just responded, they are individuals first, and there are things Lily can pull off that Reese just can't (i.e. super girly things like ruffly pink) and things Reese can work (oranges especially) that Lily can't. So no, I haven't and never will dress them identically. That's just me though and I know I have a much different take on this whole thing than many twin moms, but that's ok, one day they will thank me for it.
