Complete Opposites or Perfectly In Sync

Howard and Caroline are either complete opposites or perfectly in sync... I haven't decided.

In the womb, the doctors always commented on how in-sync they were -- their sizes were almost identical, their movements were simultaneous, their heart-beats would accelerate and decelerate in unison... they were very unified twins.

Now, at three-and-a-half months, I can't decide if they are complete opposites or perfectly in sync.

Caroline pretty much sleeps all morning -- I have to awaken her for all feedings from about 7am-2pm when Howard is ready to eat.  Then, she is awake all evening wanting to be a part of the activity, wanting to be entertained, and, as the evening progresses, she wants to be held.

Howard, on the other hand, is wide awake in the morning from about 7am-2pm, wanting to be a part of the activity, wanting to be entertained, and, as the morning progresses, he wants to be held.  Then, he falls asleep in the evening and needs to be awakened for the evening feedings leading up to bedtime.

Really, they are complete opposites... but in another way, they are perfectly in sync, in that only one baby usually wants to be held at a time -- Howard in the morning and Caroline in the evening.

They really are team players.
