Mom shares the magical moment of her twin boys meeting each other for the first time

Twins will likely be together for a huge part of each other's lives, especially in their formative years. We have seen most twin siblings being with each other as the biggest support systems throughout life. In a wholesome moment, these twins are meeting and discovering each other at 4 months and the mom, Meagan Garr—who goes by @meagangarr on TikTok—is over the moon. "My twins discovering each other for the first time," Meagan wrote in a video's text overlay featuring her twin boys Cooper and Olsen.

As the video begins, the twins can be seen looking at each other as if they have seen a wondrous person or someone they have loved all along. They smile and babble and even try to hold each other's hands. They look super excited to meet and know each other. The wholesome video has received nearly 42 million views and 6.7 million likes. In an interview with TODAY, the mom said she had been trying to get her twins to acknowledge each other's presence for quite some time. "I have a friend whose twins are 6 months old and she told me, 'They just noticed each other.' I was like, 'That's a milestone — what?'" Garr shared.

"It's sort of like, 'You're my arm, you're always there,'" the mom said while explaining how the boys viewed each other before they finally met. However, the twins can recognize their older brothers, Jackson and Lucas, fairly well. The marvelous moment happened when Garr, a wedding videographer, was trying to photograph her babies smiling. As she was going through the photos, she casually looked up and saw the twins smiling and interacting with each other. "It was a candid moment, which made my heart so happy," she told the outlet.

It was pure joy for the mom who wanted twins all her life. "When I was five, I told my mom, 'I'm going to have twin boys when I grow up. Then I had my first baby and said, 'Just kidding, one is really hard,'" the wedding videographer revealed. Surprisingly, twins didn't run in Garr and her husband's family. When the couple told their older boys they were expecting, somehow their son Jackson knew it would be twins.

"He said, 'I want two babies,'" he told his mom. The boy was convinced she was going to have twin babies. The fraternal twins were born premature and had to spend their first month in NICU. Cooper weighed 3 pounds, 14 ounces, earning the nickname "Mini Cooper" and Olsen weighed five pounds, one ounce, as per the outlet. Garr captioned the TikTok video, "My heart could explode. I hope they'll always be best buds."
