This is first in a series of reports from Mom and Dad's view about the two new troglodytes in our world. Let's call this report....Telling them apart.
Abraham, or Abe for short, opens up as our more outspoken, slightly more husky cut boy. On the expressiveness side, neither makes much noise, their cries limited to moments of diaper change, hunger or when dad's cold hands check 'em out. But when one does cry or complain, we can tell it's Abe from other rooms in our home - this boy has vocal chords ahead of their time - loud and longer lasting than brother Koh's. Abe is dirty blonde with seemingly lighter complexion, more like his mom's. His hair is receding, his eyes are blue. He was born a few ounces heavier than Koh, and after a week has pulled away now almost 5 ounces bigger. The little footballer isn't taller, just a bit stockier than bro Koh. If he continues this trend, he'll be shopping in the "husky cut" jeans section of Sears, just as his dad did.
Koh is our Zen child. This boy displays moments of self-actualization at one week old. Compared to Abe, this boy is calmer, less fussy, able to take a dirty diaper change from rookie parents with no noise or complaint. Not always, just lots more than his brother. We often see Koh at rest swaddled on his back, eyes wide open and just clam as can be, contemplating life, demanding nothing from his caretakers. His head movements even seem slower, more deliberate, like he's practicing Tai Chi.... our Zen boy. He has dark hair and slightly more skin color than Abe. Hair not receding, eyes are dark. Koh's ears are 1/8" taller than Abe's.
They're fraternal twins, yet look alike enough at this stage that we still have to check hair color to ID them much of the time. Their height and weight is too close to differentiate, they sleep lots, eat lots and complain little.
