Jack and Maddy spent this weekend getting to know each other. It is like they suddenly woke up and realized there is another baby around and they are both wondering...."who are you?!" They like to sit and stare at each other, then they both flash their adorable grins and go back to staring. For awhile now, when they lay on the floor next to each other, their hands and feet often get tangled up. When they were first home from the hospital we would lay them down to sleep and somehow they would end up snuggled against each other. Now, it is obvious they are aware of each other and curious about one another and it is so precious. Someday they will realize how lucky they are to have each other...to play together, tell secrets, protect each other, and grow up together. What fun to have a sibling the exact same age, it is one of the many benefits that come with the extra work of raising twins.
Another part of the fun is watching them both develop their distinct personalities. Jack is so laid back, hardly every cries, eats and sleeps like a pro! He is so loving, so happy and content with how things are. He has good head control, sits up pretty straight with our assistance but hates being put on his tummy. He has no interest in rolling over. Jack coos quietly and has the cutest little laugh I've every heard. Maddy on the other hand is vocal, alert and always ready for the next thing. Getting her to sleep can be a real challenge and she still requires some coaxing to eat at times. She makes us work for those smiles and giggles! Her eyes light up when she smiles and her little giggle melts my heart. Her head control is still getting there, but she already stands up while holding onto our hands and has rolled over several times. She hums in her sleep and can go on and on with the many stories she already has to tell!
Our lives are more busy then I ever could have imagined but they have brought such meaning and joy to every single day. More pictures later!
