The world's only nonuplets - nine babies born at the same time - recently turned 4 years old!
When they were born in May 2021, the babies broke the Guinness World Record for the most children delivered in a single birth to survive.
The five girls and four boys were born by Caesarean section at 30 weeks in the city of Mali, located in West Africa.
"They all have different characters. Some are quiet, while others make more noise and cry a lot. Some want to be picked up all the time. They are all very different, which is entirely normal," said Abdelkader Arby, their father.
The family's journey has been documented on Instagram over the years, with a birthday post reading, "Four years of pure happiness, laughter, challenges and above all infinite love."
Happy late birthday, Mohammed VI, Oumar, Elhadji, Bah, Kadidia, Fatouma, Hawa, Adama and Oumou!
