As our family closes out our first year as a foursome, Ari and I have noticed some clear personality traits exhibited by our BTs.  There is one particular difference between the two that has come to the forefront of our attention.  We have noticed that Julia and Marayla have each achieved certain milestones ahead of the other.  For example, Julia is crawling all over the place on her hands and knees, while Marayla has yet to lift her right arm from the “wounded soldier” position.  On the other hand, Marayla has a larger vocabulary than Julia and just the other night she clapped her hands after Mommy showed her.  Last weekend, a whole bunch of us watched as Julia climbed up the step into the dining room; she didn’t give it any thought – she simply did it after numerous failed attempts.  Julia is the Doer.  Marayla shows us so many different facial expressions, most of which involve her eyebrows, telling us that there’s a lot on her mind.  She will typically give most of her actions a good deal of thought before going forward.  Marayla is the Thinker.  Now, of course, we believe our daughters are both highly intelligent (as most parents do), and both are physically adept.  We just find it fitting that Marayla is more perceptive and needs a little bit more TLC, while Julia has the bumps on her head from trying to escape the living room.  Eventually, they will be able to put their skills together, and put them to use.  The brains and the muscle.
