Big news (for us)

Welcome back, for another exciting edition of "The Blog!" Whatever. Anyway, we have been having more and more trouble getting pictures of McKay for the same reason that we used to have trouble with Carter: McKay sees the camera and wants to touch it (or eat it, more likely) and makes a beeline for the photographer. But, here are the good ones. First, McKay playing with the toys on the bookshelf behind the chair (remember I said he likes enclosed spaces?). We had to pull the chair out of the way to get a shot of him.
And here's the big news, first pictures of McKay standing! He also walks short distances- between chair and ottoman, couch to chair, etc. It won't be long before he's officially a toddler...
I tried to get a photo of him by keeping him at bay with my feet and got this instead. I like it better.
Suzanne was trying to take a picture of Carter this morning, since he was kind of posing. He stood on his puzzle everytime she wanted to take a picture, but he wouldn't smile until I started blowing loud raspberries with my tongue. Works every time.Even though he's got SO MANY responsibilities, Carter still finds time to relax.
This was actually the first picture we got of McKay standing. We gave him a book light so he'd forget to fall (a la "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" book series). That's Suzanne in the background, working on the computer (that's the only picture I've gotten of her in quite a while).
Until last week, this is how McKay was smiling. He knew we thought it was funny. What a ham.
The piggy-back ride was going well until McKay decided to try stunt-riding. I don't think I'll get him a dirt bike anytime soon.
From the picture, you'd think Carter was saying, "See? They snap together, just like this."
I think what he really said was, "MINE!"
Hope you all enjoy the pictures! Talk to you later.
