We (family and friends) have been very diligent to read to the boys since they were little babies. We have tons of books, flash cards, alphabet magnets, you name it. We do role play, ask lots of questions and sing a lot (with and without music). We never purchased any Baby Reading products from any infomercial, but they do probably get a little too much TV. (Can I get a pass if it's mostly educational? No? Okay, I am working on it.)

Cammy and Taiter: Classifying leaves? Or skillfully
distracted from the rather large longhorns 50 feet away? |
They are almost 21 months now, and know all their uppercase and lowercase letters. Both Taiter and Cammy seem to have a mechanical mindset. Around a year old, Taiter seemed to advance Cammy in gross motor skills, and Cammy seemed to have better fine motor skills. Later, Cammy caught up, but is also speaking more now, whereas Taiter still sounds most words out with just the first letter.
Personality wise, Taiter is my cuddle-bug and does not like new things (people, places) until he can warm up to them. He can throw a mean tantrum, but is sweet as can be if he has his thumb and blanket. He gives kisses and hugs very freely. Cammy is our comedian and instigator. He reads into social queues and responds very appropriately. If I ask him for a kiss, he runs away and makes me chase him down. He has 101 faces, all of them adorable. (Okay, I hope to end my biases for both kiddos here.)
I know this is a really boring post, but I hope it will provide a good baseline for any questions you may have. If not, feel free to ask! Having twins really is a social experiment every day!
