Since birth, my brother, Jackson, has ever so sweetly refered to Carter as Danny ... as in DeVito from the movie Twins. I guess the reference is going to continue since sweet little (and I mean little) Carter is still not quite catching up to Luke. I took them in for their 2 month check-up this morning and Luke weighed 11 lbs. 9.5 oz (45%) and Carter weighed 9 lbs. 12 oz (5%). The doctor is happy with his weight ... after all, he has gained 4 pounds since birth. I am not concerned one bit about Carter, it is just weird to me to have such a small baby since Graham was anything but small. I checked back and Graham weighed 12 lbs. 12 oz. at 2 months, but he started out at 8 lbs. 2 oz. Who knows, maybe one day Carter is going to be bigger than Luke AND Graham!!

Shellye! As a fellow mother of twins, I tell you, the little one NEVER catches up... In my case, at age 4, Carlos is 4 pounds heavier and 3 inches taller than Diego... The exact difference varries with age, but proportionally the difference stays... at least it has for mine! =) I know of another friend with twin boys who has the same situation, the little one has maintained his proportion and the bigger one stays heavier and taller...
Plus, in my case, one is left handed, the other right handed, one is curly, the ther straight haired, one has blue eyes and the other brown... one is introverted, the other not at ALL... ABSOLUTELY different! =)
I will enjoy hearing your stories... see if the match up...
