Hi Shelly, Don't worry, Babies often make funny decisions and react fearfully for apparently no reason at all! It may be that your baby got a fright or heard a funny noise, at the same time as your husband appeared in the room and associates that fearful feeling with his Dad. Fathers are usually bigger, have deeper voices and don't interact with babies as verbally as Mom does. He is still at the stage where Mommy is his security, and babies sometimes do react in odd ways to their father. Don't worry it is perfectly normal, it just seems more apparent to you because you have two babies to compare! Don't force the issue, just have your husband play lots of games and cuddling time and maybe some quieter games, with lots of smiling and eye contact. Peepo games are a good way to create fun, and teach him to understand people come back - just make them funny not scarey. Don't worry, he will gain trust again with his father, and as he develops his own personality more and more you will notice lots of ways your twins are different. Enjoy your babies, you will have a busy time for a while! <a href="http://www.easybabylife.com/annie-desantis.html">Annie Desantis</a>
