Nina is recovering well from her surgery and we got to take her home today! It's so great to have the sisters together at last. As you can see, they have slightly different head shapes, which will adjust as they get older. Claire was head down for several months and was pretty squashed, giving her a temporarily round head. On the other hand, Nina had to squeeze in to get head down, leaving her head rather peanut-shaped. There are lots of cute subtle differences, but the number of similarities is amazing! They make the same expressions, have the same feeding style, dominant facial features...it goes on and on!

I would like to comment on that green creature that has replaced the "virtual babies";
At first I thought it was a crocodile, like the Lacoste logo (very French!!!), then I saw it as a cute American alligator; Julia tells me that it is a dragon: oh! really? I said: I had to take another look;
Oui, I get it: it is a cute fairy-tale dragon watching over Princess Claire and Princess Nina
