identical or fraternal?

Is it too soon to tell?  Should they look different by now if they're fraternal? My girls are 6wks today and we still have a very hard time telling them apart.

They look ID to me, but I'm not pea-kay.

ETA:  My frats looked different when they were born.

Hard to tell in the 1st pic, but in your siggy they look identical to me! : )

Ask pea-kay. She's the guru.

I'd guess identical, but you must ask the all-knowing pea-kay to be sure.

The look identical to me, but I agree with the PP's, ask pea-kay.

pea-kay

hee hee! you guys are silly.

i don't like to make my determination (hee hee) until i see more pictures. do you have any more? and look at their ears. if they're ears are identical, chances are so is the rest of them.

Never heard this before!  One of the ways that we can tell our girls apart is that Grace has a little wrinkle in the top of her ear that Mary doesn't have! ; ) (It's actually our only backup way to tell... it's the only thing obviously different about them.)

That's hilarious!  Lila has a little wrinkle on her left ear and that's how we tell them apart!  I'll post more pics when they aren't screaming.

well, what about their ears other than that wrinkle? the boys each had a dimple/crease at the top of their ears, and that tipped me off (before the DNA test.)

i'd think it's less about wrinkles, though, and more about overall shape.

Just lurking and thought I'd throw it out there that the Olsen twins are fraternal and look identical... so they may be that

 I seriously think that they say that to seem more interesting because I've never seen siblings that look so much alike you think they're identical twins. Ever. All my babies have looked different. They all have really similar features but they don't look like a mirror image of any of the others.
