Do your twins like one another?

Do your twins like one another?

I've read a few post on here about how the twins play together, Peek a Boo, etc. My guys act like they could care less about one another. Eli will smile at Cooper sometimes and try to engage him but Cooper just gives him an eat sh!t look like why are you breathing my precious air you vile creature. The only time Cooper gives Eli any type of attention is if he's hitting him in the head or taking a toy away and putting it out of Eli's reach(Cooper can crawl, Eli can't). Cooper will be content playing and see Eli having fun, crawl over take his toy away, crawl back and continue what he had been doing. I can't call my own child mean so I will say he is one spirited child

My girls will smile and "talk" to one another, but with both of them walking now, they'll don't usually play together. It's usuallly like..Oh she has that, I want it, take it, carry over to the other side of the room and drop it and start over. But it seems to go both ways. Lily doesn't typically take things from Bell in the obvious bully kind of manner, instead she's sneaky about it. Like Bell putting her bottle down and looking at something else, then Lily sneaks in and takes it. Bell comes back looking for it and it's gone.

Twins are so fun!

DITTO to all that! Just switch the names to Alexandra and Isabella and Alexandra being more of the bully.

 

Same thing here. Regan and Tessa are always taking toys away from each other. Lately, they have started touching and occasionally hitting each other. I don't think they are being malicious, but just exploring each other. They both crawl all over the place. One will take off crawling, stop and look back at the other one, like "well, are you coming?" I think they enjoy each other most of the time. I can see how when they get older they will enjoy playing tricks on mom and dad. It will definitely be interesting!

 

My girls noticed each other a while ago, and they would smile at one another, but that was about it until recently. I think moving them to their own room and out of ours helped, b/c now they play with each other through their cribs. They have just started really giggling hysterically at one another and "wrestling" but mostly in fun. They do like to fight over toys and they think it is hilarious to take toys away from one another.

To the PP, from the ticker picture I would say it looks as if Regan and Tessa love each other...that is such a cute pic

 

I didn't notice mine interacting in a positive way until about 8-9 months. One day they were both sitting in their high chairs and Sarah looked at Amy and just started to giggle. Amy sort of glanced at her, giggled back, then kept eating, but Sarah just sat there cracking up.

They do still mostly steal toys from each other, or try to knock each other over if one is in the other's way, but I still think they like each other. If one is already awake and I get the other one up and bring her into the living room, they both look delighted, like "I was wondering where you were!" They're just all id at this age.

 

Mine will every once in awhile giggle at each other. Most of the time, though, Zoe will be laying on the floor, playing with a toy & Johnny will scoot over & barely touch her & she SCREAMS. She does NOT like him to touch her! Can't say I blame her, though, since most of the time he pinches, pulls her hair, or bites her head. Poor kid. They're just 2 people, is all. Most siblings that I've seen actually fight more than play. I wouldn't worry, though....it could also just be age & they'll be more into each other as they get older.

 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these stories! I hope my guys start to like each other soon

 

Mine are still pretty little, but for now they love each other. Whenever I face them together they start smiling and "talking" to each other. Now we'll just have to hope that continues.

 

Mine are young too but they do look at each other and smile. Patrick likes to get Kevin's attention much more and will try and touch him and grab him when they are playing on the floor. Kevin will most of the time give him a dirty look like "get away from me baby", so I am not sure how well they will interact later on. We shall see!

 

It'll happen later. They don't care now, but they will!! Don't worry, it's still early!!

 

Ours are a little young right now, but they look at eachother like, "Ugh, you now! Don't touch my milk supply - it is mine not yours!"

Over the last few years there have been a few posts on this subject and I definitely think it's more common to have babies that are mostly indifferent (or even dislike) to each other than to have two that are best friends at such a young age. We can probably all think of cute things that the babies did that were loving and that's what we write about on the boards but there are always a lot of negative responses to the question of whether they truly get along at this age. They're just babies and are still extremely self-centered and the friendship really grows as they get older.

My girls first really interacted with each other at 3 months but their sister wasn't too important to them at that stage. When Ainsley started crawling she always headed straight for Sierra more to see what she was playing with rather than to spend some time together. Of course, Ainsley often grabbed Sierra's toys and this eventually led to Sierra screaming everytime Ainsley came within 2 feed of her (a phase that went on for months). At 18 months old (a common age) they finally started playing together and, by age 3, their sister is very important to them. Don't worry if the boys aren't too loving right now, they're just babies and it's something they'll grow into.
