We saw our niece and nephew over Labor Day weekend, and I can’t believe how fast they are growing up. They’re already 4 months old.

Rylan is starting to look more and more like my sister, with her brown eyes and defined eyebrows (a trait which we share). She’s a happy baby, and it doesn’t take much to get her to smile and laugh at you. Of course, I’m not usually the type to make very exaggerated facial expressions, especially happy ones, but these babies manage to get it out of me.

Dawson has gotten so big. He’s 15 1/2 pounds and has a death grip on him. It’s funny because when you’re holding him, he squirms as if he’s got places to go, people to see, and he’s in a hurry, yo. But I’m like, dude, you just mastered holding up your head and you just spit up on my flip flop. Slow down.

When you lay them next to each other, a lot of times they’ll hold hands on their own. I mean, sure, they probably have no idea what they’re doing really, but it’s still really sweet. I must admit that sometimes Rylan will use that time to pinch her brother on the ear. Did I mention that I pinched like crazy when I was little? She’s taking after her auntie. How sweet.
