Development....
Are you finding that one twin is developing faster??
Im finding that with Matthew...he is holding his head up with little support and smiling and even started to coo a little.
I feel bad that Christopher has lots of catching up to do...I guess with all his crying. 
I know that this can happen with twins

Re: Development....
It's hard not to compare them but I've always heard that you should try not to... I just ordered the book WHAT TO EXPECT THE FIRST YEAR becaus I don't know what the timeline for deveopment should be, especially because I have preemies. Oh the stress

Re: Development....
Yes, my boys at are different levels of development but one was born 3 lbs smaller, spent more time in the NICU and then had a subsequent surgery and milk allergy, so it is to be expected.
Don't worry about it, I was very hung up on it since they were identical and I was told it is perfectly normal and understandable since each boy went thur differetn issues at birth.
Each boy will develop at a different rate just like each child with a single preganancy would. If one was born 2 years ago, you would not worry that it took him 10 weeks to do the same things it is taking the other son 8 weeks to do, KWIM.
I know it is easier said then done, but comparing the two will only drive you nuts. There is a range of time that each skill is developed at, and I am sure that Chris will do something first, just give him time.

Re: Development....
Its funny with my girls...because Reese turned over way before Syd but Sydney laughed way before Reese and still laughs more..Reese did some things before Syd and Syd did stuff before Reese. YOu come to realize that they are individuals and shouldn't be compared..because it will end up making you feel bad or driving you crazy.

Re: Development....
My cousin has twins and in the beginning one was definately developing faster than the other. Now I would say they are right on track with each other!
