Technology

Like most babies, the twins are fascinated by gadgets. Specifically, they love our iPhones with a deep and abiding love. If they see my phone, they will lunge for it and fight over it. Until recently, they both would just push the home button repeatedly, getting excited to see whichever picture I had as my wallpaper. But in the past few weeks, A2 has become more adept with it, and I realized that his approach perfectly showcases their different personalities.

When N gets a hold of my phone, she pushes the home button again and again and holds it up to her ear to "talk." She loves to hold it and play with it, but that's about it. And that's N to a T. She runs and plays and flirts and never sits still for longer than two minutes.


A2, however, pushes the home button, and then slowly, so slowly, drags his little finger across the screen to unlock it. After that, it's a field day for a toddler. So many boxes! What do they all do?! I could call China if I wanted to! And his personality is just like that. A2 loves to play just as much as his sister, but he is also patient and quiet, figuring things out in his head.

As crazy as it is to have two the same age, I do love watching them learn different things and develop their personalities.

I think watching kids' brains learn and develop in their own unique ways is one of my favorite parts of being the mom and especially with being blessed to be at home with them.

My M just thinks that my iphone is how you watch Olivia (I have one episode on it for emergencies) and if my phone is out, she will beg "leela" until I put it away or find her something else to do.

I love N's lips in that picture. You can tell she loves it and is so impressed by all the shiny lights. I think the differences they are showing are more gender related then anything. Guys will figure stuff out and we want it to chat with and look pretty!

There is only one person that makes more fantastic faces than N and that is you, but she is starting to give you a run for your money!

I can't believe you let them touch the iphone! That is a luxury our kids can only dream of.

Those two have got to me two of the cutest kids on the planet. Ya gotta love those smiles! Nora looks like she has discovered a hidden secret and Asher wants share his joy with the whole world! Viva La Difference!
