All About..........Sophia and Alyssa


Sophia-Li Dorinda---
Otherwise known as simply "Sophia" or,"Alyssa" as she often gets called. Sweet, adorable, sensitive Sophia--she totally suits her namesake, couldn't be further from her mother's personality.

Top 10 things you will find Sophia doing:

1. Playing quietly with her blocks building intricate towers.
2. "Reading" her books.
3. Putting her arm over her mouth (self-soothing technique--since baby).
4. Whining/crying over something her sister did or took...........................
5. Playing with Play Doh.
6. Making towers with the canned goods from the pantry.
7. Saying "NO" .
8. Playing "HIDE" -- no seeking yet.
9. Having a tea party.
10. Hugging her stuffed animals.


Alyssa-Ling Hillie--
Otherwise known as "Alyssa" or "Sophia". Sweet devilish Alyssa. She also completely suits her name --- how does that work out??? Anyway more true to her mother's personality than her little sister.

Top 10 things you will find Alyssa doing:


1. Taking a toy from her sister.
2. Sucking her thumb. (Self-soothing technique -- since baby) --I don't do that!
3. Hiding under the slide with "Mumble".
4. Eating
5. Giving spontaneous hugs usually preceeded by an exclamation of "ahhhh".
6. Playing with Play Doh.
7. Opening the Pantry cupboard where the snacks are.
8. Sitting on top of the table.
9. Kissing a boy. (She kissed 2 boys on Valentines Day! In all fairness they kissed her, but she reciprocated so Daddy had to have a little talk with her).
10. Somersaults---really as soon as the video camera comes out she starts the performance.

Great job Momma! And I thought you only had time to shop :o)
You'll see. Can't wait to start my wise a%$ comments on your site and return the favour. Do ya wanna be on my blogroll?
I am impressed with your twin write up as it mentioned unfamiliar words like "quiet" and 'puts her own arm over her mouth'. Nice. How do I get that goin'?
Keep bloggin' on.
Talk soon,
Senja and crew.

Yeah! Another China twin family! Welcome to the club!

When were your girls born? Are they identical (monozygotic)?

Can't wait to read more about them. And of course to see more pictures!!!

Oh wait - I figured it out... well, the age thing... but I think the tag line of your blog is wrong... shouldn't that say 'December 2005'?

Anyway, you girls were born in late February 2005, right? Mine are about three and a half months older (Nov 4, 2004)!
