Lovely Fall

Well, Fall is definitely here. The weather has started to turn, and the leaves are falling. I worry a little about life during the winter, especially as the kids are getting more energetic and active. But for now, I am just trying to enjoy the lovely colors out and about.

Hank and Clara were weighed again yesterday, and the data was good. Both kids are growing. Clara is now in the 13th%, and Hank is now in the 15th%. With nursing about to finish, the extra pounds are a little insurance while they adjust to using a sippy cup--which is still not going all that well. We will continue to work on that!

Hank is the standing machine at this point. He likes to pull up on everything. Clara has figured out how to get from sitting to a crawling position, so she is eagerly exploring her surroundings a bit more these days. She has also started giving a big smile for now reason whenever she sees Mark or me. We love it.

In honor of fall, here are two pictures from our recent outing to the pumpkin patch. It was virtually impossible to get the kids to both look and smile at the camera. As is life with twins.
