Every baby develops at different rates. Twins are no exception. It's amazing to me just how different Olivia and Juliana really are. While they share some similarities when it comes to their mannerisms, they truly are like night and day. This page is dedicated to their journey as they grow up.
As of 1/6/17 the girls are 4 years old and as independent as you can get. Their favorite phrase is "I can do it." They are constantly learning and growing and always get super excited when they do something on their own for the first time. We cannot be prouder of what tiny little ladies they have become.
CURRENT STATS [AS OF 1/6/17] -- as of right now both girls are pushing the 40lb mark. We will be making their 4 year check up in the near future.

While her sister had almost complete neck control from day one, it seems as though Ms. Juliana has been ready to stand the minute she was born. Her legs are very strong and she will stand on your lap any chance she can get. As long as you put her in a standing position and hold her armpits she can stand for hours. She will definitely be my more mobile child in the future.
