20 weeks old!

One of my favorite things about my children is the noises they each make. While being a twin mom has its challenges, I think one of the greatest rewards is hearing your children "talk" with and entertain each other.

I wish I could record all of the wonderful sounds that come from these boys' lips, but they are, at the time, very sporadic and spontaneous, and therefore hard to capture. Suffice it to say that both of my boys should be great vocalists (which makes their mommy very proud!) based on the vocalises they do every day. L'aig is great at getting up into his falsetto, and Bl'aig loves to sputter around on his lower tones.

We are going through bibs like crazy due to the amount of saliva dripping down their chests, and the bubbles are wonderful additions to the sounds and gurgles they make. I love listening to them coo and tell us stories, as their eyes light up when they realize that we are communicating back with them by listening and responding. One day soon, they'll be speaking to us in words and sharing ideas with us!

I try to spend as much face-to-face time with each of them as possible, but, as you can probably imagine, it is hard to do with 2 mini people. Hopefully they'll be able to communicate well enough with each other that neither one of them feels neglected by me. We are all doing the best we can.

Today's encouraging verse: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. " Luke 21:33
