Yesterday was Nick's birthday, and I must add, a fine time was had by all. Because he is The Organizer, Nick planned his own party (at Red Robin) and did all the inviting. Of course, it seems like it should have been me doing all that, but historically Nick hasn't been overly happy on his birthday, so basically I figured he was happy to plan his day exactly how he wanted, and I was happy to let him. He did a great job. The only small blight on the day was the BYU game we watched at the end. Let's not talk about that.
The other day I gave the babies a piece of cut-up french toast with a little brown sugar on it. Mostly, I am constantly trying to find "real" food that they will eat. I don't know if they get tired of foods, but I am tired of feeding them applesauce. So, we attempt new things. Reid though, is very suspicious of anything that he hasn't tasted a few times before. Sometimes, he's suspicious even if he has tasted it many times before, but that's another story. Reid grabbed the new food with eagerness, but almost immediately he dropped it with an appalled look. Then, he began shaking and wiggling his fingers, as if his hand by itself was having a seizure. After a moment I realized that he was unappreciative of the sticky/grainy texture that the brown sugar made on his hand. Perhaps those of you who know Nick well will not be surprised by this little quirk.
Heaven help us.
I particularly like the video this week. Not because it is the most entertaining, but because it shows the boys working together. They work together all the time...usually their goal seems to be to drive me crazy. Or, they just want to make sure the other isn't getting into something cool. The sight of them crawling next to each other into a room is one of my favorite things. So, I thought I would show them "sharing" their toy. They will sometimes spend up to half an hour pushing and pulling this particular toy around together. In baby time, that is like a full day.

I love your boys!! They always make me smile!!! Can't wait to see them again in a few months!!!
First of all, Happy Birthday Nick! I don't buy that you are an old man yet--after all, you are the baby of the four of us :) Second, I was wondering if those boys are taking steps by themselves, or if they are still being cautious? If you can call them cautious...:)
Annoying, but I also meant to say that you should post earlier in the day...I get so anxious for your posts that I check like twenty times on Sunday so your number of visits counter gets super inflated. Sorry about that :)
Janine, can I just tell you how much I love that you sent me your blog address. Your boys are so cute (do you ever get tired of hearing that?) and it's great to hear what's going on in your life.
We should definitely do a WC get together one of these days. I'd love to see everyone's babies and hear how life is going for one and all.
How cute~I love watching them work together too! From an outsider's point of view, it's SO adorable, but I can see how that "team-up" attitude might be viewed differently from mommy. :) I hope we get to meet them someday!
Happy Late Birthday Nick...we are such terrible friends. We hope you had a great one! The boys are getting sooooo BIG!
