*The price of a DNA test for twins
Whilst Tom & Seb were twins with seperate sacs and seperate placentas, there is a 10% chance that they are still identical, although it would seem some doctors are unaware of this, our Consultant was quick to highlight it to us.
It is a very convenient response to not being able to tell them apart (I have thought it enough times).
And yet, when I look back at baby photos of Seren, I think her so similar to Seb, but have never thought her similar to Tom.
Photos seem to reveal so much. I rarely look at photos of Tom and Seb and confuse them.
Yet, in life it is very different.
And I wonder if that is just the reality of bringing up two siblings of the same age.
And so, here as Tara welcomes faces in this week's Gallery.
I would like to introduce you to my favourite faces, of siblings.
(and oddly, I am looking at these photos thinking how similar Tom and Seren are. There's no hope).
I can't believe how much Tom & Seb have changed from toddlers to little boys. Beautiful pictures of all three, I just want to squeeze their cheeks ;-)
ReplyDeleteI know! You blink and they're no longer babies, and you blink twice and your toddler have become little boys! x
Deletewhat sweet photos! also, i love the name seren.
ReplyDeleteThank you- I always said I wished on a star for her- so it seemed perfect.
DeleteWhat cute pictures awwww :)
ReplyDeleteThank you- of course I'm biased.
DeleteWell they're all gorgeous and lovely!
ReplyDeleteThey have their moments ;-)
DeleteWhat little cuties! Super fun pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you! They were surprised to find food on their noses!
DeleteAww lovely pictures of your babies, so cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's so difficult to not call them my babies out loud.
DeleteSuch cute photos. Cream on noses?
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes- fun with scones!
DeleteI wouldn't have said your boys were identical - but I know some genes can be switched on or off so there is a chance!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a funny thing. I think they switch them on and off just to confuse people!
DeleteI always think it's funny how different my children can look in photos or just a different glance. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteI know. These ones really caught me for seeing how much they're growing. Thank you x
DeleteBeautiful faces, beautiful photos. I'm completely confused..........My neighbour has identical twins and they are 12 now and....I still cant tell them apart. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I just live by the motto: "One day"!
DeleteBeautiful little ones! I love the cream noses ;) I have three sets of identical twins in the one class I teach and I have nightmare trying to tell them apart! Gav has a job to tell the baby photos of the boys apart already....heaven help us when we have three!
ReplyDeleteThey all look so similar, and I think my brother and sister and I are the same. gorgeous s
ReplyDeleteI love the photos, my two are at the stage of never sitting still for a second!
ReplyDeletebeautiful children and gorgeous photos x
ReplyDeletethese are great photos ;) THey're all so cute!
ReplyDeletePriceless pictures!
ReplyDeleteThey made me smile... really beautiful shots of your little one
I love these beautiful happy clicks. So very sweet and photogenic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely trio - and I think they ALL look very alike!
ReplyDeleteOh such adorable pics! They do all look very similar.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that you will eventually have a DNA test in order to satisfy their own curiosity? One thing is for sure - they are all adorable x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, they are all far too cute!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby is a twin! I think its a magical thing! :) Gorgeous children! xx
ReplyDeleteFab pics! I know what you mean about sometimes your boys look more alike than others. With my three it seems to be that their expressions look more similar - body language even. And I have two boys and a girl, but it's boy #2 and girl that seem to pull the same faces!

Take care

I found some old photos of my sons dad the other day when he was the same age and they look identical! It's so crazy how they change to look like different people as they get older!
ReplyDeleteWhen Ella was born 2 years and 1 week after Kaycee I was shocked as soon as I saw her because she looked the spitting image of Kaycee. She was a much smaller baby but her face was exactly the same. It's strange because in real life they look totally different but looking back at photos it's hard to tell them apart.
ReplyDeleteYour babies are gorgeous, I just love those smiles :)
Lovely photos! They sure do look very similar x
ReplyDeleteAdorable, happy faces and beautiful smiles
ReplyDeleteMollyxxx

ReplyDeleteSuch cuties. I share my children's faces for this too!
ReplyDeleteLovely images, I love the twinkle in their eyes!
ReplyDeleteAwww they are adorable and I agree that Tom and Seren are very alike
