Acknowledging each other

[babys2015]

My boys are 8 weeks and I was wondering when they would start to notice each other..we put them on their playmate together and they co-sleep in the same crib but so far they don't show any interest in one another..when did your twins realize they weren't only children?

Mine notice each other at 6 months and grab at each other's hands. But don't interact too much. Hopefully that will come soon

I honestly can't say. It was such a gradual process here. I mean, if I went through my photos/videos I might catch the progression but I can't say the exact moment kwim? They noticed the other existed, they unconsciously held hands while tandem nursing, then started smiling at each other on occasion, then giggling at the other, then stealing toys, then actually interacting and playing for real. It took ours awhile, I'm pretty sure they noticed their older brother before their twin. At nearly 10m now it is totally on, but it definitely took awhile to get here.

It was the sweetest thing. I made sure to get a couple photos, for myself. Which is good, because they don't do it anymore. It's been a couple months, and I definitely miss it!

We are at 6 months and they are just starting to notice each other. They are starting to smile and reach towards one another. But it's not consistent yet. I do have to laugh because sometimes DD gets this look on her face that so clearly seems to say wtf mom and dad we have another baby here? DS mostly just likes to smile at his sister.
