    My 6 months olds get jealous of each other! I'm not sure what else to call it. When I pick one up, the other gets really upset and starts fussing and waving their arms to be picked up, too. Or I start nursing one and if the other sees they start complaining "Huh huh huh!!!" because they want to be nursed, too.

    I have taken to sometimes hiding what I'm doing from the twin I'm not holding, or moving the bouncy etc so they can't see me. :lol: Sneaky, I know!

    I guess it's a preview of what's to come in the toddler years with twins, right?!

    Mine started a few months ago. It's amazing how much they already know!

    My six month olds do it too- especially DS. He even gets jealous if I give DD vitamins after him- I have to give hers first so he thinks he's getting more than she is!

    TOOOO Funny!! Mine do it too. My DD gets zantac and I have to put the dropper in my DS mouth too (pretending he is getting it too) or he gets so upset!! Anytime one gets something the other is always watching and fussing.

    My DD is starting to try and take his toys too!!
