Scooting and Cooing!!!

This is the stage in every mother's life when she awww's and oooo's over her baby's great accomplishments. Holding up their head, scooting across the floor, looking around and recognizing your voice you are so excited that you take pictures of every moment right!!! Well what if you have twins? One baby is scooting, and looking around getting on their knees and taking notice of the world around them and well one baby says NOPE I'm not ready yet!

Well if nothing else twins will let you know that they are definitely individuals. They do everything in their own time. While one baby loves the floor scooting and trying to learn to crawl the other one loves the water. Splashing every way you can think of. Does this mean one baby isn't developmentally on schedule of course not. As a matter of fact, I advise any mother that bought all those books to throw them away! Because your baby is going to be on their own time schedule, even if you have twins. Just think even though they were in the womb together doesn't mean they are the same person. They are going to do everything when they are ready. They weren't even technically born together. Rather a minute or two apart the only thing most twins have in common is the day they were born! SO don't be alarmed and go to the local neurologist because one baby just lays around on their back all day while the other baby is moving around and looking for something to get into, regardless to the books and specialists, at the end of the day, babies are going to move to the beat of their own drums or beat machine EVEN TWINS!!!
