Hey, we have done that too (continuing the tangent) as best we could! The sleeping/nursing/holding sure was hard the first 6-8 months or so (what am I kidding, the sleep still is at 20 months, ha) but you do what feels right, ya know?

Back to the main topic — I have seen a similar closeness with my girls, getting more and more noticeable now. The mirror thing happens here too! That must be weird for them! And now that they are talking, its heart melting to hear them talking to each other when they wake up. Love it! Great post and pictures!

This is tangential to your post’s main point, but it is so rare to hear of other parents who tried to parent their twins as they did their single babies. Many times over the past 8 months I have wondered if I was crazy or stupid for letting them nurse, feed on demand, sleep in our arms, etc. Sure, we sleep trained them when they seemed ready, but we never scheduled them. Thanks for the reminder that a few others do the same.

I recently read an article about twin sibling relationships where the author broke down by gender and twinning type whether they were likely to be close throughout their lives. The list for “most close” to least went like this:

-Identical Girls
-Identical Boys
-Fraternal Girls
-Fraternal Boys
-Fraternal Boy/Girl

My boys are fraternal and although I have no idea how close they’ll remain throughout life, at two they are definitely best friends and partners in crime.
So take that terrible parenting article with your awful ranking system. Ugh.

I’m looking forward to hearing what our girls think about being twins, and I hope they share a special bond like your boys.

Watching my kids interact has always fascinated me- I assume because I’m an only child. But now, watching my twins together- it’s so freakin cool!!!
