Twin moment

First "Twin" moment!!! Normally, we put the boys down in their crib side by side. Lately, they have been waking each other up with spit up and head knocking. So, last night, we put them to bed feet t0 feet. To our astonishment this morning, we went in to their room and found them head to head! Mind you, they are completely swaddled. They have no way of using their hands or legs to help them move, but somehow, someway, they figured out how to scoot down so that they were back to their normal sleeping position. Further, they were sucking on each other's faces like each was the other's bottle! It was so cute. When I peeked my face over the top of the side of the crib, both boys let out audible laughs and cracked huge grins. It was a great morning.

SLEEP!

Oh my gosh, the boys are sleeping through the night! Fantastically ridiculous. For the past 10 days or so, my wife and I have been getting 6-7 hour blocks of sleep and I can't think of any better way to spend an evening. Ever.

Now, the boys wake up around 6:45 and are all smiles. They laugh, giggle, are ticklish and even enjoy bath time now. So life is looking up.

Twin A's new favorite thing is if I blow air into his face. He takes a deep (reflex induced) breath and then cracks up laughing. Twin B is in love with himself. No, really. He looks into a toy mirror we have and talks up a storm. Take it away and he looks stunned. Put it back and he squirms with all kinds of delight and excitement.

We continue to battle the spit-up fairy (which always seems to appear immediately after the putting on of a new outfit) and the boys still do not have neck control. Twin B is getting better at being able to hold his head up for small bits of time, and he even started to grab at things yesterday with his hands! Twin A is content with jabbering up a storm.

It is interesting in terms of their different levels/stages of development. They are starting to demonstrate their differences in personality (Twin A - goofy, Twin B - serious) and how they approach things differently. Twin A doesn't really care about what is around him whereas Twin B is super aware of everything in his immediate vicinity. The best part? All kinds of smiles now. All kinds.
