when riley met leah...
Sorry for the blog silence. Taking care of newborn twins takes a lot of time -- who knew?
When Kathy was pregnant with twins, one of the things I liked about the idea was the thought of how great it will be for them as they go through life to have a built-in "best friend" to share experiences with. So I was really curious how they would react to each other as babies. They spent nine months together in the womb, but for the first few days of their newborn lives, they each were pretty confined to their own cribs and never really saw each other. But on Tuesday, we put them next each other on the examining table at the pediatrician and waited for the magic to begin. And what magic it was, as recorded on my cell phone camera:
There you have it folks. Leah is a big, 6-pound bully. Kathy and I are now working on bulking up Riley so she doesn't have to take that crap.
More baby photos from a slightly more peaceful session together yesterday:
And in this photo, Riley says "Fight the Power":
And finally, Leah basks in the glory of her first round victory over poor Riley:

Aw! Precious! I do not have a twin sister, but I do have two sisters. And if your twins are anything like my sisters - the built in best friend thing is going to be right on! They may not be best friends ALL the time, but despite a little bullying session, I have no doubt these little girls are very blessed to have each other, and to have a dad who is thoughtful enough to take time out of his career to help out with the twins. Dave, I'm really happy that you made it work out with work to take time off. I think it speaks volumes about your dedication as a parent. (Plus it'll give you more time to blog!) Keep up the good work. I hope parenthood is fun.
