Hi, everyone! It's me again, Gabe. Suzanne did great on her posts, but she wanted me to get back on as the main blogger- I think she didn't want to be associated with anything as nerdy as blogging. Anyway, this will mainly be pictures of McKay because Carter comes running anytime the camera is brought out- all pictures of him are closeups of the bridge of his nose. We just can't get him to back away. First off, McKay playing with a plastic eyeball. Doesn't he look just like Carter at that age?
Carter is learning his letters- he probably knows 10 of them by sight and can name them. McKay likes to chew on them and shove them under the fridge. Pretty soon Carter won't have to learn any more letters because we'll be down to the ones he knows already.
McKay's learning to drink from a sippy cup, but if Carter leaves his cup on the floor, that's game too.
McKay played with his reflection for several minutes one day. Suzanne got several pictures...
... including ones of McKay practicing his kissing technique.
McKay is ALWAYS curious about what Carter is doing. He attacks Carter anytime Carter gets his diaper changed. In this one, Carter sat down to enjoy his sandwich...
In this one he's realizing he can't enjoy his sandwich in peace with McKay around. I think Carter scooted away (saying, "No, Kay! Mine! No, Kay!") and McKay continued to chase him for a full minute before we put down the camera and rescued him.
McKay wished me a Happy Half-Birthday on July 19th. Carter learned how to sing, "Happy... TO YOU!!"
That's all for now. Hopefully we'll be able to show you some of the cute things that Carter's been doing next time. Cross your fingers!
Maybe it's because McKay is small, or a messy eater, but I think Carter thinks McKay is a puppy. He is always patting McKay on the head and shoving food in his mouth. We're trying to get the idea across to Carter that McKay is his brother and not a pet. Even the way he talks to him, "McKay, no! No!" We'll keep working.
Carter and McKay both love to read, and they're even getting old enough to play together a little bit. Thank goodness!
While Carter and McKay were playing in the tent (the tiny one that Carter got for Christmas) I snuck along with our camera, lifted the tent flap just a little, and tried to get a few candid shots. It's obvious that didn't work, and McKay was laughing pretty hard as he tried to catch the camera. Well, I got too close to him (thus the big nose and eyes farther apart than they should be), and probably left the poor kid seeing spots for a while, but there they are... his teeth.
You might think they're "darling" or "cute," but he leaves some deep little bite marks on the furniture and fingers (mine and Suzanne's). Scroll down for one more post.
