growing lentil

Did you know that at seven weeks, a fetus is approximately the size of a blueberry? The week before that, it’s akin to a lentil.

His twin brother, Tanvir, is equally adorable, and with his huge, smiling eyes, was quick to compete with his brother for my affections. The duo kept me on my toes for the better part of a warm, autumn afternoon; I was grateful to have such easy-going and patient parents on hand to help me manage all the cuteness.
