I made this blog to share the lives of our identical twin girls Chaya and Anjali, born on May 9, 2011. We are so happy to finally have our own little family, after 7 years of trying. After 2 cycles of intrauterine insemination, and 3 cycles of in vitro fertilization, we are proud parents at last!
Sorry I haven't posted recently.. time flies with 10 month old twins! They're growing so fast, and now they can take a bath together without mommy or daddy in there with them! They outgrew their infant tub a few months ago, and since then, we had been taking baths with them, one at a time usually. But this meant that I couldn't really give them a bath easily unless daddy was home. So one evening he was out, I decided to give it a try.. Well, as soon as I sat Chaya in there by herself, she got scared and cried, so I had to get in there with them. I tried it again a few days later, and she was fine! And she really had a lot of fun actually. They both did. It wasn't too difficult, the bath ended though when they both kept trying to stand up while holding onto the side of the tub. Out we went!
Decided to take some springtime photos sitting in grass in front of our house.. this was the girls' first interactions with real live grass. As you can see on the photos, Anjali didn't like the grass too much. ;) Wearing their adorable little outfits, the size is 9 months, but they still fit! Anjali is in the zebra stripes, Chaya is in the flowers.
We had a fun day going to see the St Patrick's day parade, and hanging out with our friends who live on the parade route. They have an 11 month old girl named Phoebe. The girls took turns in daddy's arms watching the parade and catching some beads. Prosanta gets so excited for beads when we go to parades, he wants to get the biggest best ones and wants to get more than everyone else. He's a little competitive. ;) It was such a warm beautiful day out too, perfect parade weather.
Well, it's official, we have 2 crawlers on our hands! Anjali started crawling a few weeks ago, on February 25, and Chaya just did it this week for the first time, on March 7! Anjali seems to always reach milestones a few weeks earlier than Chaya, except for saying "Maman" and smiling (and probably a few other things) Chaya was first doing those things! Here are videos of each of them taking their first crawling steps.. well, first caught on video that is! ;)
