Ava and Nora, Twins

When we were contacted by Ava and Nora's orphanage, asking us if we would be willing to take in these two little girls, we were almost too overcome with excitement to say, "yes." But, of course, we caught our breath long enough to respond and brought these two in as quickly as we could.

Ava is the "older" one. We're not quite sure how that was determined, but we'll go with it.

It didn't take long to discover that both girls love to play with toys, and that Nora puts everything in her mouth like a normal little baby would.

It appears that they already have very different personalities. Ava is the open, smiley baby while Nora can be more reserved and hesitant around strangers. Of course, that was our Day One impression... who knows what a good night's sleep and another day becoming accustomed to their new surroundings will bring?

The first thing in order was a bath. Ava seemed to enjoy hers, she didn't fuss at all but looked adorable in the tub.

Nora, however, wasn't the biggest fan. She would much prefer to cuddle in someone's arms than do anything else.

After the girls were squeaky clean, we dolled them up in some new clothes. Blue for Nora, pink for Ava. That sure made it easier to keep them straight! The girls fought for the comb... yep, they're sisters for sure!

The one thing that had been on Nora's mind throughout this whole sequence of events was a bottle. Ava didn't mind drinking one either, but thought that Nora's might taste a little better than hers... And did you notice Nora's legs? The picture of relaxation.

So, what do you think... are they identical?
