B"H Yehuda Leib is starting to talk, and one of his first words is....."Hila" (translation: Hillel). He is always looking for Hillel and calling his name - he probably did this before he started talking too but its so much more noticeable when it has verbal accompaniment. It is so cute to see how much he looks out for his brother - something so unique and special about being a twin! Uusually babies at this age are so egocentric...but I guess when you were born with a "partner" your "ego" includes him too!
Some examples:
- Once I gave Yehuda Leib a piece of Chalva- before he even took a bite, right away he ran to find Hillel, calling "Hila" - and pulled him to the kitchen so he can get a piece too (as opposed to some of his siblings, who go run to their siblings so that they can tease them...ahem!)
- I put some supper onto Yehuda Leib's high chair tray (he wasn't yet seated inside) - as soon as he saw, he brought me Hillel's tray which had been laying on the floor...then he ran to the couch where Hillel (who refused to take a nap all afternoon!) had finally plotzed, and starting pulling on him "Hila, Hila, Come!"
- One morning as I was washing dishes, I hear Yehuda Leib calling Hillel's name. He was going from room to room, looking for his brother. Then I noticed the front door was slightly open...and Hillel was trying to make a grand escape! Good thing his brother noticed his absence before anything bad happened to him!
May Hashem help that they should always have such a close bond, and that they should continue to always look out for each other and want only the best for each other!
