The boys

Let's see, what's new...

Cameron loves rice. He'd eat plain rice all day and night if we'd let him. He doesn't put anything on it, just bland white rice. Of course he'll also eat flavored rices & Rice A Roni too, but he has a new obsession with RICE! Bowl after bowl after bowl. We have no idea where it came from. One day he simply said "I want some rice".

Gabriel loves pasta - the messier the better.
His lead feet are finally starting to diminish. Normally when he stood it was as if his feet were in concrete. Even with force, you could barely ever get him to lift one of his feet. But finally he's starting to get the hang of shifting his weight and lifting one foot at a time. He's starting to cruise along and every now and again he'll forget that the doesn't know how to stand. He'll simply pull himself up and stand for a few seconds. Then he realizes what he's doing and his knees buckle. He's also finally starting to take steps when we hold his hands. Normally he'd just plant his feet and when we'd try to get him to walk he'd just flop to the floor. Now he'll walk if we help balance him. I'm glad he's not too quick to grow up. He's our baby and I know in time he'll try to be as grown up as his big brothers, but for now I love that he's still in a baby stage.

It amazes me how a baby can even get this messy! Forehead, eyebrows, hair... I try to imagine what it must be like to eat like that. Taking a big fistful, rubbing it all over my face, taking another handful and smearing it through my hair. Crazy babies!

For once I don't think I have too much new to report on Dylan. Since he's the oldest and he is the first of the boys to do most things, sometimes I feel like I talk more about him than Cameron and Gabriel, but for now he's simply enjoying his summer vacation.
