    Ok I thought it was a coincidence when my one twin was feeling teething pain while the other twin had NO teething pain and ended up with 4 teeth AT 6 months old !!! So when she started to have teething pain again I thought she might be getting her teeth as well..... no not a bump in sight. I decided to check out her sister and found 2 more teeth coming in. She is the littlest thing at 6 months and will have 6 teeth. I was laughing at her tonight saying she will look like "MINI-Me ".

    I thought only identical twins felt each other's pain ?!!!

    Mine are fraternal, and I could swear, sometimes feel each other's pain. Even now, when one falls or does something and starts crying, the other twin runs to her side, and sometimes will start either fussing or trying to comfort her crying twin.

    They also have this "sister sympathy" cry, which I like to think of as their way of trying to say "my sister has been crying for longer than she should without enough attention, so I'm going to start crying so you get here faster and help her out." :laughing:

    So sweet! :blush:

    My little boy really seems to feel his sister's pain. It doesn't bother him if she's crying a normal kind of cry, but if she's in real pain, he starts bawling. He cries harder over her shots than she does!

    Mine are exactly the same way. Sierra had a gas bubble and was crying non-stop but with tears of pain. Jr was all fine until this, when he heard her crying, he started crying. That was a bit extreme for me when they are both crying. At least I know only one is in real pain :)

    Heather, that's too wierd. Saturday night Marc cried and cried and cried. We were up all night it seemed. Sunday morning we noticed that William had a tooth!
    Mine are fraternal too.

    We think ours are fraternal and we joke about "tickle one, the other laughs!"
    Cute how they feel the others feelings!

    [SIZE=10pt]Mine are of course fraternal (b/g) and they seem to 'feel' each others pains and laughter

    DD laughs more with/at DS than anyone else. If DS starts laughing it's a guarantee that DD is going to start laughing.
