Twin bond

Having twins and watching their bond strengthen has been so fun over this last year.  Lots of people told me how neat it is when they start talking in their own little language to each other, or when they start to help each other with all the little tasks during the day, but I feel like I am just starting to experience it.  A few months ago, they started making each other laugh.  Dave and I cannot get the same kind of belly laugh that they can get from each other.  And just this week I have really noticed how they will seek each other out during the day just to give kisses to each other.  Ethan walked over to Addie tonight, took her face in his hands, and planted a huge kiss on her mouth.  Then he just started to giggle and play with her hair.  They only give kisses to us on very rare occasions, but with each other, they can't get enough.  This week Addie has been sick, and Ethan is so gentle with her.  If either one of them is crying in another room, the other will try to get to them.  I can tell that they don't like being apart from one another and when they are, they are always looking around for the other to show up.  It is just really sweet to see that bond between them.  I feel like they know each other better than I know them.  I'm not sure if it's this way with all siblings or if it really is a "twin thing" but I am loving watching it.  Even though this last year has been so hard (over worked and under appreciated...you know how it goes), I love my little family.  I never thought that I would say this, but if we hadn't had to go through in vitro, we wouldn't have two at once, and I am so grateful that we do.  I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world (well, maybe I'd consider it for a full nights sleep).
