Eli and Roby are two thirds of their way through the first year. Hard to believe. This month was the two steps forward, one step back month. Or maybe it was one step forward, two steps back? I'm not sure...
We are now the proud collective owners of 8 teeth. Four per kid. Eli's working on his next batch, Roby seems to be taking some time off.

| Anna was doing something very interesting. Roby was clearly closer and found it somewhat worrisome. |
We "successfully" dropped our 10pm dream feed. Success lasted for about 4 blissful days until the boys figured out what we were up to and retaliated by instituing a 4am no-dream zone which is only terminated by milk, speedily delivered. So not cool. I'm voting for a return to the 10pm feeding as 4am is my responsibility. Dave is in the 4am camp as 10pm is his responsibility. Negotiations continue...
Roby can finally sit up but he can't get there himself. Eli can get himself to sitting but he can't stay there. Two halves of a whole?
Both boys have figured out eating but are pretty picky. They do NOT enjoy certain jars while others get gobbled up. I'm too tired to remember which is which and who likes what. As a result we have a lot of opened, uneaten jars in our fridge. For the record, kids number three and four do not get homemade baby food.
Both Eli and Roby have figured out transportation. They can comando crawl themselves to any location. They also both spend a great deal of time on all fours rocking back and forth wondering why they aren't moving. That synapse has apparently not yet made the connection. Going to be interesting when it does.
Roby has figured out how to give kisses and how to tickle himself. Pretty entertaining, tickling yourself. He is also highly entertained by bouncing in his doorway swing.
Eli is very focused on consuming his high chair, hiding under beds and eating cheerios. He is less enthusiastic about bouncing. He also LOVES his big sisters. Who love him right back.
Couldn't decide which of these I liked the best. The girls were very glad to finally get in on the picture action. Eli thought it was highly entertaining as well. Roby wished he had more access to oxygen.
