It is obvious by how happy they are. They are almost always smiling! They love to be around each other, playing, nursing, sharing their lives. They just became one year olds. When one tries something new, the other comes right over and wants to do the same thing. It is a riot. They don't seem to mind when the other one climbs on him, pokes him, grabs his hair. They even grab food from each other's trays at the same time!

They are similar, monozygotic or identical, but different. They have a few defining differences. The younger one is louder and when he is up, he wakes the other every time, and he is heard anywhere in the house.

The older one is quieter and he is a little more patient, so waiting his turn is easier for him. He is the one who loves his brother even more. It is amazing because the smiles he gives his brother are so special. He was born 11 minutes earlier and when his baby twin brother is not in his crib, and he is put down first, he cries and wails and will not go to sleep until the other one is put down in his crib.

The cribs are next to each other. But it is not the case the other way. The younger one will just settle down with his security blanket and thumb and tushy in the air, not noticing where his brother is. By the way, they both suck their left thumb and do the same thing with their blankets and tushys!
