Twins

The boys fell asleep for their evening naps last night and I had to take this picture. When we laid them on the floor to relieve our arms they both stretched out in the exact same sleeping pose. It was too cute.
We get asked all of the time if they are identical. They are not, they are fraternal, and when we tell people that, their reaction is always "really, well they look identical. I'm glad you can tell them apart." I guess it's because we are always with them that it seems like second nature to us now. Even Caleb is becoming an expert on who's who. So here's a few hints for those of you that aren't with them all the time. Take notes Omaha family, there will be a quiz after we get there on Wednesday.

Zaden had a point on his left ear that Zaric doesn't have
Zaric's eyes are blue, Zaden's are green
Zaden's voice and cry is much lower than Zaric's high pitched scream
Zaden has a more "solid" look to him. Zaric's shoulders and face are more lean
Zaden seems more laid back about a lot of things, Zaric has more trouble adjusting to new places and new people.
Zaden loves to watch the animals and try to get them, Zaric doesn't really seem to care about them at all.
Zaden giggles more while playing, but Zaric smiles more about everything

There's just a few. Of course they do look similar to each other in many ways and do some things alike. Like in the sleeping picture. They are brothers and were made from the same recipe as I like to say. If you look through Caleb's baby scrapbook they both have several features that are identical to his and we get comments all the time the Zaric is the spitting image of Caleb now. But I must say, this is one recipe I'll be keeping. Look at how adorable these 3 boys are.
