Until 2004, Carl and Clarence Aguirre could not sit up, stand straight or look each other in the eye because of their unusual link.

But at a party at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx on Friday, they romped like healthy kids. Carl stuck his hand in the birthday cake. Clarence hung on to his mother, Arlene Aguirre, and ran about with a toy.

Carl is expected to follow in his brother’s footsteps soon.

Montefiore spokesman Steve Osborne confirmed Sunday that Clarence had begun walking on his own after "Dateline NBC" showed images of the three-year-old, wearing a helmet, taking steps at Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla.

It was their first birthday celebration as separate individuals after the boys, who were born joined at the tops of their heads, were separated last August in a surgery at the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center (CHAM), also in New York.

The focus of the operation will be two large shared veins at the back of the conjoined twins’ heads, which risk being ruptured as doctors attempt to split them between the boys.

If the surgery is successful, the medical team at New York’s Montefiore Medical Center hope to carry out a fourth operation in May to finally separate the twins.
