Twins, sort of.
As mentioned before, Natalie and Vanessa are supposedly identical but are different in every which way:
-They still cry differently, Natalie still has the cuter cry and Vanessa wails, only thing is they are even louder (the treatments that they got seems to have helped a little too much).
-Also mention previously is one loves to eat and one loves to sleep. Let me go into more detail.
Vanessa, who loves to eat, loves to eat anything she can get her mouth on. Just the other night (before eating time), Fiona was changing her diaper on the changing table. There are a stack of diapers and it seems that Vanessa had her eyes (as well as her mouth) fixated on them. She gradually shifts her head in the direction and towards the diapers and begins to "taste" them. By "taste" I mean she first licks it and then mouth opens wide and tries to chomp on them. She does this with burp cloths, towels, whatever. Little weirdo. As for her sleeping, she makes a lot of noise. She sounds congested (which is normal for newborns) and she likes to grunt and stretch throughout the night.
Natalie doesn't seem to care about eating. Sometimes she even cries. She still doesn't have the rooting response that most newborns innately acquire. You put something near her mouth, she could care less. But I will give her one thing, she is a better burper then her sister. After she has eaten, you can just sit up straight up and soon enough, *burp!*. Most of the time you don't have to pat her. She is still a better sleeper then Vanessa. She would rather sleep then eat. Plus she is so quite. She rarely makes a peep
-They still look different from each other. Natalie has significantly more hair. Very reminiscent of Jadon. Vanessa on the other hand looks almost bald by comparison. Vanessa weighs more then Natalie and she's got bigger cheeks too (maybe a bigger head as well). It seems that Vanessa has some sort of birth mark on the left eye lid. I didn't really think much of it because it looks like a red scratch, but Fiona pointed out that it has been there since birth. Strange, I hope it goes away.
One thing though as they continue to grow each day, they look cuter and cuter. I didn't quite think so at the beginning but they are coming around.
