Four Month Check Up


Luke and Sam have changed so much in the past four months, sometimes it is hard to believe. I cleared out all of the preemie clothes today and it was amazing to me that Sam was that small. It is funny to say but it made me a bit sad that he has grown out of those cute little clothes. They are both such miracles, they have put my whole life into perspective.

This morning I came into the twins room and Jack had brought in a chair to look into Luke's crib and he was just smiling the biggest smile he could at Jack. It was a great moment. Luke (12lbs. 9 oz.) loves to find me in the room, it makes my day when he cranes his head to see me. He is gaining a lot of strength in his neck. He enjoys his tummy time. And is working on sitting in this bumbo chair. He makes the most darling cooing sounds. He is a very peaceful, happy baby. He is doing great at sleeping through the night, which makes my life so... much easier. Luke you are a beautiful ray of sunshine in my life. Love ya Lukey!


Sam(8lbs. 9oz.) is a darling bundle who loves to snuggle and eat. He is gaining amazingly.
He has figured it all out now. Every time I turn my head he changes. He reminds me everyday how blessed we are to have him in our family. He has started to smile and coo which makes me very happy. Every mile stone he hits makes me excited. He is also gaining strength in his neck. He is not a big fan of tummy time, but is working hard at lifting his head and chest. He can also sit in his bumbo chair, which is so darling because he is so small. He is so darling in every way. He is also doing great at night. About every other night he wakes up for a 3 o'clock feeding. Which I am okay with. It is a lot easier to feed one in the middle of the night, than two.  Love ya Sammer!

There have been so many times in the past few weeks that I have had to look twice to see which one is which. They are close enough in size now that they can wear some of the same clothes. I love to match them! These past four months have been a ride. We are so... blessed.
