The twins are 4 months old

I cant believe that we have reached the 4-month mark! Horray for us! Fisher is on the left. Hunter is the one with all the hair.

Fisher:
15 lbs and 24 3/4 inches. Fisher loves to sit up and watch what is happening around him. He is full of smiles almost 100% of the time. He will smile at anyone who will talk to him. He thinks we are playing when we change his diaper! He loves to sit in his bumbo chair. He sucks on his fists and arms like you wouldn't believe. He is sleeping so good. Usually we put him to bed at 9:30 pm and he sleeps until 7:00 am. Fisher has been our best baby yet!
Hunter:
11 lbs 9 oz and 24 inches long. He is our "bite-size" little guy. Hunter loves to be snuggled by anyone; recently we discovered that he has a particular liking to Grandpa Clark. Hunter likes to sleep in the swing. As soon as we try to move him he wakes up. He takes lots of mini naps but nothing really long. Hunter has a hard time digesting his food so we are trying a new approach to try to get him to feel better and not have a stomach ache all of the time. Hunter loves to lay on his tummy so he gets lots of tummy time. Hunter isn't quite sleeping through the night but I only have to wake up with him once and that is usually around 4:00 am.

We finally moved them out of our room and into their own room. They sleep in their own cribs now so that they don't disturb each other. Tyler has been an awesome husband and has woken up with me to feed babies every single night since we brought them home from the hospital. Hopefully Fisher will continue to sleep through the night and I can handle feeding Hunter when he wakes up.

Justin is an awesome big brother. He is very protective of his two brothers. Justin is also a BIG help. Every morning Justin gets his shopping basket and gathers up the dirty diapers from the night before and takes them to the diaper bucket in the garage. He also is into dumping all of the bathroom and bedroom garbage cans into the kitchen can and then throwing the garbage sack into the garage. It seems like every time I go to throw something away there is no sack in the can! I love that Justin loves to help with the "chores".
The joys of having two babies is holding them both. Usually they get so hot that you really start to sweat. Tyler holds Fisher under Hunter; I do it just opposite. All 3 of my boys. I love moments like this. Hunter is the one who lloks like he is tuck in my armpit.

I bet you are so glad they are sleeping longer at night. You probably feel like a new lady

Hillary, they are adorable. And I am so glad for you that the nights have gotten better. What a great helper Justin is, my kids would do well to learn a little lesson from him! Miss you guys.

It's crazy how different babies can be. I'm guessing nobody has ever asked if they are identical...seeing as how they look soooo different. How cute they are!
