My Twins Then & Now

Eliza from Babylune is inviting fellow bloggers to share photos of their kids in a sort of then versus now set and little stories about the photos.  Here is my personal contribution.  Be sure to stop over and let Eliza know you’d like to contribute to her baby pictures, then and now drive.

The baby images aren’t the best quality because they are snapshots of pictures.  All of my best photos are safely tucked away at my father’s house or large photos hanging on the walls down my hall.  Following the flood we had in June, I wasn’t going to risk having too many of the photos here anymore.

The photo shown just above of Coty (left) and Trey (right) was taken when they were three months old.  Because they had been premature – this was the earliest I could take them out in public.  You can’t tell by this image just how tiny they are, but for anyone who has ever had a baby photo taken, the twins were both sitting inside the pop up seat photographers have on their tables to hold baby up.  Coty was in a great deal of pain and it shows.  He was so colicky the first several months.

I love this picture from the twins first Christmas.  Coty (right) was always a little afraid of strangers so you can see he’s holding on to Trey’s (left) hand.  Trey was trying to figure out how to get up and moving toward the equipment that looked like a giant playground.

These were taken the same day.  I have these images hanging along with their latest school picture outside their bedroom doors.  I thought it was a fun way to let people know where to find the boys rooms.

This picture was taken just over a month ago.  It’s of my twins, now age 15 and my niece, Jacie (pronounced J.C.) on her visit from Kansas.  Trey is seated with Jaicee and Coty is kneeling behind them.

And just for good measure, I’d like to introduce you to my soon-to-be niece, Taylynn (pronounced Tay-Len).
