Alongside a photo of the pair laying next to each other on the bed, Sidibe said the babies had reached a new milestone.
“The twins have reached the age where they are keeping each other up during nap time, just giggling and smiling and spitting up at each other. It’s adorable,” she wrote.

Frankel says that when it comes to feeding time, the parents of two are making sure to keep things even.
“A little behind-the-scenes look: Feeding time with the twins,” he wrote. “We go out of our way to switch off who feeds who every feeding so they both get equal time with Mom & Dad.”
