FOUR MONTHS OLD!

Autumn and Jakob will be celebrating their 4 month birthday on Friday, February 20th. To celebrate, we went to the mall and took pictures.



Autumn's 4 Month Portrait

Jakob's 4 Month Portrait

Look what we found on our front porch!

And another!
At 4 months, Jakob and Autumn use their hands more consistently, batting at objects, stuffing them into their mouths, and feeling textures around them. Both place their hands on their faces in ways reminiscent of comical expressions. The other night, Jakob was exploring Autumn's face with his hands. It was very cute.

The twins are also "sharing" some of each other's characteristics. Autumn now occasionally quivers her chin like Jakob, and Jakob occasionally raises his eyebrows and stares like Autumn. Both are becoming aware of each other, and will "study" the baby next to them, or gaze wide eyed at the baby in Mama's arms.

On February 17, I dug out the walker for a trial run. Jakob thought it was grand.


Autumn concentrated more on making it scoot backwards - which I had NOT expected yet!


Both babies coo, and both cry "Mamamama" when upset, and occasionally when talking. I'm not convinced they yet know what it means, but I respond as if they did. Autumn loves to chatter at you. Jakob is more into cooing sounds.
