The 2 Dutch Heads!







These pictures were taken after the LONGEST staredown between them. They took turns cooing and babbling to each other. They were definitely "conversing"! They still just sit there and take it all in. They are not moving on their belly yet, but we're working on them both to help this along. They definitely are 2 sweeties!

Andrew trying to get to the yellow ball

Andrew tried for the longest time to get the small yellow ball out of the middle of the clear plastic ball before I grabbed my camera. So I caught the tail end of his effort. Andrew cracks us up! He sure does know how to entertain his little self!

Daniel and Jack







These guys have been having fun together. Jack gets a kick out of Daniel! Daniel is pulling himself up to stand as much as he can. I always find him in his crib standing and "calling" for me. I just hope he crawls for awhile before he starts trying to walk!

Colin and Andrew (Keep volume low!)

The boys are having more and more fun with each other every day. They are interacting with each other so much in their own ways. Even Jack is playing with each baby more now. He enjoys crawling around with Daniel. In this video Colin and Andrew are enjoying each other's company. But be careful...Colin is quite loud at the end so don't have your volume turned up too high!

Colin





Colin is such a sweetheart and very funny! He gives the biggest smiles and he is so friendly and social. He loves looking at his 3 brothers, jumping in the jumperoo and spinning the wheel on his exersaucer. He is happiest when sitting, not when laying on his belly! However I recently started putting him down to sleep on his belly since he has outgrown his helmet. His last appointment with the orthotist for measurements is tomorrow. His head shape has improved so much and his measurements are within the normal range. He still makes his "monster baby noise" as we call it. He kind of growls and he loves it when you make the noise back to him. He likes to look at his fingers (as you can see in the picture)! He, like his brothers, is saying a lot of Da Das, Gas and Ba Bas. He eats like a horse and he has the belly to show for it! He is still my early riser, but we try and keep him in bed until about 7:00. Usually I hear him in his crib "talking" by 6:15-6:30. He is just a joy! It is hard not to fall in love with Colin!

AND I can suck my thumb while I clap!

I can clap, too!

Sweet Daniel makes me laugh. I just discovered he claps when I do, just like Andrew. He is such a little busy body, too! He is always on the move looking for the next thing to investigate. Quite the little daredevil I'm afraid. He cracks me up when he smiles with his two little bottom teeth and his adorable dimples in both cheeks. He also is working on a top tooth. Middle-right top tooth...it looks painful! He is such a good sleeper. Not too much into eating though! Jack has been having so much fun with Daniel.
