The story told in images…

Once upon a time…

Dylan Andrew Balmer – 2llbs 15ozs

Thomas Hector Balmer- 2llbs 11 oz

I had to wait 24 hrs until I could hold Thomas

I had to wait 62 hours until I could hold Dylan

After 2 weeks they were together again

Two peas in a pod

Coming home together after 10 weeks in hospital

Back home after two months in the hospital, growing strong and happy

Sleeping and growing

Bonding and soothing each other

Their first smile to each other- a magical moment shared with dear friends

Becoming more interactive and interested in the world around them

Identical? We don’t know. What do you think?

Singing at Christmas

Enjoying a new view point in their bumbo seats

Learning to sit up independently at 12 months ( 9 months corrected)

Getting even harder to tell them apart

Learning the Irish jig

Working hard:

Walking to soft play

Trying out his new sticks

Working on standing

Using a wobble board to help improve his balance

Improving his co-ordination and balance

Blowing bubbles with Daddy and Dylan
