Birthday Videos

Wow, wasn't that such a creative title? I amaze myself sometimes.

I still can't believe my little babies are two! I see that picture on the post below of them at 4 days old, little 6 lb. 11 oz. and 6 lb. 3oz-ers, and now they're huge!!! How the heck did that happen??? Huh. Crazy.

These are some videos from their birthday. Highlights of this first one include: hearing them say "happy birthday" (which really they picked up from watching the Frosty the Snowman movie, where Frosty says, "haaaaapy birthday!" everytime he comes to life), and them answering "dos años" (2 years) to the question "cuántos años tienes?" (how old are you, or, literally, how many years do you have?). Nuala is now a little better at making sure the right number of fingers are making an appearance. Bran was obviously conscious of that a little earlier. It was a little bit difficult tearing Nuala away from the engrossing article she found in Parenting Magazine. Maybe she picked up some tips for me...


And this one is...longer. But so cute! They loved those little birthday blowy horns...yep, that is the correct name for them. They (the twins, not the horns) say, "Bran/Nuala do!" when they want the other to do it. Nuala was very, very, very excited about the little horns. She cracks me up! She's saying "Mama, mira, mama!" and "mira" means "look." Aaaand...at the end...let me see...okay, Nuala is asking for más , and Bran is enjoying the avión (airplane). Hopefully that explains it all.

Wow, I totally commented a few hours ago and then it wasn't there...hmmm...Anyway, They are super cute! I love how Nuala shakes her head in the first video, so independent, like her Mother, hahaha! And they're bilingual at 2, how awesome is that? Merry Christmas!

They are totally entralled with those blower thingies! So cute. Happy Birthday to Bran and Nuala and Happy Anniversary of some Big Congratulations to mommy and daddy.

Those videos are so cute!!! I've been watching them a lot.... and laughing a lot too ... "happy bud-day" .... it was so much fun to see them have so much fun with the blowers ... they are doing a great job blowing ...it must've felt "successful" to them to see such immediate results from their blowing efforts! The wackie cake looks great all dressed up :) I am VERY impressed at how Bran got the two fingers to cooperate so well! Thanks for sharing! Love, Dad and Mom xox

I love those videos! Jack sat here and watched with me and was really bummed when they ended! I love 2 year old conversations.
