They gather around like little birds waiting to be fed. I was feeding them grapes, and I couldn't get it in their mouths fast enough.

The little people are really starting to warm up to one another. It is so much fun to see them interact with one another. Some of there characteristics reflect our characteristics. See below for further explanation:
Evan-He looks exactly like Sara. He loves to "talk", and not just a quiet jibber-jabber. When we sing, he joins right in, and at the end of each song he raises his hands above his head and says , "Yeah!!!" It has been funny to watch him react to Mackenzie's presence. He is the "alpha" baby when it is just the 2 boys, but Mackenzie is testing those boundaries. He has been giving her some really funny looks. It is almost like he is thinking, "I don't know who you are and why you are here, but this is not the way things go around here." Really funny to watch unfold.
Briley- Has a good mixture of his mom and dad's features. He is the baby that tends to have the "whatever" attitude with everything. If Mackenzie and Evan are having a little conflict, you will see him shy away from the situation. When singing, he just sits there and occasionally will jump in with a clap or a "yah". When he walks, he looks like a cowboy who has just gotten back from a long ride. He has the cutest little laugh and HATES bathes and is disliking naps at the moment.
Mackenzie - Last but not least...she is defiantly a girl! She walks on her toes at times. I thinks she is just preparing for dance one day. She does try to share, but when it comes to her blanket or Violet (her stuffed BFF) there is no sharing happening. When we sing, she joins right in and mimics our mouths with hers. She does as many of the hand motions as she can. When told to put something up or she sees something in a wrong place she makes sure it is returned in its correct spot. She is the princess of the group and wants things her way.
Nannie's house looks like on Christmas morning. She has transformed the back closet into a play closet. Whenever we can't find someone, the closet is the first place we look. We constantly joke on how the babies are "coming out of the closet". Papa is doing really well and seems to be enjoying everyone. Tomorrow is the birthday party and his birthday. Praying it goes smoothly for him. He can become real withdrawn when large crowds are around. We shall see.
