The world’s first surviving set of nonuplets (nine babies) are four years old, and their parents, Halima Cissé and Abdelkader Arby, cannot keep still.
The proud parents have taken to social media to share beautiful pictures of their miracles.
It would be recalled that the Malian couple welcomed the nine babies at one go in Morocco on May 4, 2021.
The babies were recognised as the world’s first recorded surviving nonuplets – five girls and four boys born in a single birth.
Guinness World Records officially certified this record for Cisse and Halima.
Marking their fourth birthday, the happy parents uploaded their pictures at birth and their pictures now on Instagram.
From the pictures shared by the parents, the kids are doing well.
The names of the girls as shown in the pictures are Kadidia, Fatouma, Hawa, Adama and Oumou.
The boys are Mohammed VI, Oumar, Elhadji and Bah.
They were all dressed in similar outfits.
The nonuplets have an older sibling, Souda, who is also sharing the joy of the moment with her parents.
One of the pictures shared depicted one of the boys holding the Guinness World Records plaque, surrounded by his eight siblings and their parents.
In one of the captions, the parents expressed profound gratitude for “how far we have come”.
They also thanked their fans for the support they have given the family since the nonuplets were delivered in 2021.
The babies arrived prematurely via C-section in Casablanca, Morocco. The mother was 30 weeks pregnant when the decision was taken to take the babies out.
The tots weighed between 1.1 and 2.2 lbs. at birth.
