Both girls have started eating solids and really aren't very impressed with the new food. They are now sitting in their high chairs and ate bananas for the first time yesterday. They liked them more than rice cereal, but really just prefer their bottles over anything. They are really into toys right now and it's so much fun to watch them get excited about everything around them. Now that they're able to move around, they are much happier babies and are enjoying their new found freedom.
We were so surprised to find out Lily weighs more than Kate. Kate is visibly larger than Lily, but Lily's head seems to be the majority of her weight! It looks like both girls will be tall, but we all figured that!
We asked about the DNA test to find out if the girls are identical or fraternal and we found out they really don't administer the test unless something were to happen and we really needed to find out if they shared DNA. I noticed a few weeks ago that the lines on their hands and feet are exactly the same, and our doctor said that he's leaning towards them being identical because their percentages are so close at all our check ups. He said most of his fraternal twins have very different numbers. So we're going with identical for now! Keep in mind the chance of having identical twins is 0.4% or 1 in 250. Pretty crazy!
