Happy 4 Months to our Twinsies!

Sam and Daddy cheer for Claire

In the past month, the twins have had their first sleepover at the house without mom and dad. Grandma Tam watched them while we ran amok in Deer Valley for our 10th Wedding Anniversary. (read about that here). We had fun this past month spending Tuesdays and Saturdays watching big sister Claire "play" soccer... or, rather, attend the game. It was fun this season because her good friend Taylor is on the team too.

Scotland, Sam and August: The Dynamic Trio

The twins met their new little BFF, Scotland Grace Turnbow. She is about a month younger but the three of them look like triplets! It is so exciting to raise these babies with our dear friends, Eric and Sarah. 

The twins went bowling for the first time. We were careful not to mistake Sam for a bowling ball.

Overall, the twins have been very healthy, however, Sam got a little flu bug and had to go to the ER. Poor thing had an IV and was not a fan of that at all... his little face was so red with a fever it was heartbreaking.  He is on the mend now, and luckily, August and Claire didn't catch it. August's hemangiomas are shrinking and there is no cause for medical concern - we are very grateful that she seems to be in less pain as well.

Mr. Smiley Sam has grown a LOT! Over 12 lbs now.

Sammy's getting close to holding his own bottle.

Mr. Strong Sammy can hold his head up 90 degrees - just waiting for him to crawl away.

August LOVED visiting Great Grandma Helen. They got along very well.

One of the aforementioned mealtime altercations: Sam and August were nursing together, and Sam put his hand in August's ridiculously giant bow and yanked it down covering both of her eyes. She screamed and swayed her head back and forth (Stevie Wonder style), all the while still trying to nurse. Very sad and absolutely hilarious. Sam definitely sabotaged her.

August smiles almost as much as Sam these days. She's pensive, but loves to smile and is starting to laugh.

I can't tell if I'm keeping the babies warm, or if they're keeping me warm during a chilly fall soccer game.
