Dear boys,
You turned 13 weeks last Friday.
It was also the first day both of you made eye contact, acknowledged, and talked to one another!
You were held over our shoulders (both of you like being carried this way, allowing you to survey the land from high above ground, in an upright position), and with wide eyed fascination, carried a conversation made up of a series of “guuuh, ahwooo, gee”s.
Since this first time, just like a Bluetooth connection after the first pairing, it was easy to get you fellas talking when held at the same eye level. No longer are you just flailing arms randomly touching! You would reach out for each other’s hands.
On Saturday, when tata and I held you two, Henio said a series of probably very funny things, which made Luki break into the widest smiles. Your very first inside joke!
Funnier yet, though, is that you have both also taken to talking to your mirrored reflections, when you did not before. I suspect you think it’s your brother in the reflection, given the coos, smiles, and reaching out are similar to those you give each other.
It delights me to no end to see you two interact. While I want you both to be your own persons, I also wish for you to keep this extra special connection you have: borne of the same DNA, a someone who probably knows you like no other, with the same wiring but running at your own rhythm and speed.
