Twin grandchildren

Lovely photo's of your family Carol. The one with the girls in their United babygrows with their proud dad is great

They've already sussed out that daddy is completely daft! He manages a Sunday league football team, and in the middle of leaping around and telling his players to get their backsides in gear, he runs to the perimeter of the field to goo! gah! and make silly faces at his watching babies. His players love it - they take endless mickey out of him!

Fabulous Carol they are delightful.

So that Sunday league team is sure to have two gorgeous little mascots!

Hi I'm a new grandma to twins, a boy and a girl born on Boxing Day 2011, Jensen and Lydia, both weighing nearly 7lb! I haven't been able to meet them yet because my son, his partner and babies are living in the US. My son is studying at Yale and mum is a US citizen. I 'speak' to them every Sunday on Skype but miss not being able to hold them. My son comes home to the UK in July when his student visa expires, then will go back to the US to eventually marry his partner and I am guessing, to settle in the US. I hope to get over there for the wedding!

Hi babciaanna from one twinny grandmother to another! Nice to meet you. I have 2 sets of twin grandchildren - boys and girls - and am mother to twin daughters. You must be longing to get over there and see the babies (what great birth weights). Look forward to chatting to you some more

I don't know about you but I can't help feeling very special, being a grandma to twins. I do think it is a very special 'club'. Twins don't run on my side but on my son's partners side. Lovely to have one of each I think - get it over in one go! Must go to bed as work tomorrow.

When my mum had my brother and I she thought all her family was complete she then went on to have three more girls,but none of them where twins like my brother and I.
Welcome to GN babciaanna your son's partner must have been glad to have had them arrive with weights like that !!! So much to look forward to in the future.

Yes, it does feel special having twins in the family - the novelty of having two or more babies helps to counter all the dashing about!

My little grandaughters, now 6 months old but were born 10 weeks early, have started rolling over and holding hands with each other today. Lots of shrieks of laughter when they realised what they could do. Fabulous!

when mum said my brother always used to kick me black and blue under the covers of our twin pram he was a porker compared to me I was 4lb born and he was 7lb 2oz mind you he is still a big pudding now and I would gladly kick him in the shins if I could get away with it

I've just uploaded a couple of photos of Polly and Alice, taken yesterday. Alice, who was only 2 lbs at birth, is now a lovely chubby baby like her sister - she weighs 1.1/2 lbs more, and is the taller child

Lovely lovely girls when how lovely to see them thriving after a tiny start!

My now 21 year old nephew was only 1lb12oz when he was born so know haw thrilling it is to see the development!

They are lovely Carol, nice to see them thriving

Beautiful photos, you must be so relieved to see them coming on so well. My DDs twins, 1 of each, had birth weights of 6lb and 7lb, we will be celebrating their 1st birthdays on the 5th July, will post some photos when I work out how

This time last year, my little grandaughters were born 10 weeks early and scared the life out of us all. Little sugar bag sized mites in high-tech incubators. Well they aren't tiny now! Two happy, healthy little girls who are into everything, playing with their toys, trying to grab the cat and enjoying a busy social life with the family. Today, we're havng a birthday party and they'll enjoy tearing up wrapping paper from the piie of presents waiting for them. I feel so lucky to have these precious grandchildren

when enjoy the birthday party and your lovely and precious little girls.

Enjoy the party when

I'm minding my little grandaughters whilst my daughter is out Christmas shopping. They are like little whirlwinds - disappearing in every direction. The sitting room is like Fort Knox, with two safety gates, and the sofas pushed together to prevent access to Christmas tree and TV. This time last year, I was weeping over them in their incubators. If only I could have looked forward to now - at this rate, they have a future as demolition ball operators - thay have learned to throw with force and several baubles have disappeared off the tree after being hit with building bricks

When, I looked back over the thread - it was one year yesterday since you told us the good news about their weight!
Until I remembered that both your daughters had twins, I was wondering how anyone would cope with two sets of twins so close in age! I found it quite hard to babysit for my first three grandsons, who were born in less than three years (again, two daughters). I know you do sometimes have all four of them at the same time - it makes me tired to think of it. Respect!

when they are adorable at this age though aren't they? My favourite baby has been with me for two days this week while she recovered from Noro virus, and it has been such a joy.
She has only been sick at night when at home!
We have cuddled and cuddled and I gave her a bath, which was great fun.
I just love her to bits!

Lovely, picturing you under siege from two trainee vandals, when. They are such fun at that age. Wish mine weren't growing up so fast.
