Exactly like that.

Since my twins were born I've had moments where I look at them and think "they're sort of like puppies".

Not that they are covered in fluffy fur or have floppy ears or pee on the floor. But the way they sleep piled on top of each other or roll around on the floor all over one another.

The way they will totally bite you when playing with you, including creeping over and biting your unsuspecting bare toes.

The way they will nip at each other or pull on the other's hair.

However the Puppy Comparison really hit home the other day. It was the early part of the morning, when I'm buying snooze time by nursing the babies and snuggling them to keep them sleeping just a little bit longer.

I had been nursing Jude, and we'd fallen asleep. Luke had been on the other side of Jude. I woke to the feeling of tiny hands pushing at my breast and the sound of a determined baby.

I open my eyes to discover that Luke has woken up and decided it was his turn to nurse again. He pulled himself up and over Jude, smooshing Jude's head out of the way and was trying to get latched on. No regard for his brother...he saw exposed food source and went for it.

So yeah. Exactly like that. Puppies.
