My baby girls turned 3 today, how it happened so quickly I don’t know…. I can clearly recall waddling around shooting a maternity session the afternoon of the 27th just hours before they were born at 38 weeks. It seems impossible that three years has passed since they were born. For the past few weeks I’ve told them that I was going to cry on their birthday because I didn’t want them to be *big girls* and Addi replied “its okay mommy, I’ll save you… next time I’ll be little again.” and Anni my super sensitive one would just tell me “its okay” and kiss me. I’ve been in denial for awhile now, but its clear to me now that they are *big girls*, so independent, they carry on conversations amongst themselves that literally bring me tears of joy. I’ve always heard of the “twin bond” wondered if it was real or if it was only with identical twins…. My girls certainly have a bond that has been incredible to witness and it becomes more and more apparent each day. They are so incredibly close to one another, yet so completely different and individual. It has been an amazing journey thus far, as sad as I am that the baby and toddler years are behind us, I am beyond excited to see what the year ahead will bring. Its hard to believe that my oldest was only 3.5 when they were born, and now she is a 6.5 reading, riding a bike, and even texting her daddy…. :0 She has been the best big sister, better than I could have ever hoped for. The girls adore her and she adores them, it just makes my heart smile to see them love on each other. So as the day came to an end, I looked back at their hospital pictures and decided I would share a few from then and now….
