My babies are becoming toddlers

In the last month, the boys have been working on their balance, babbling and learning how to get their way!

BOTH BOYS
* are still great eaters. We've introduced several new foods with different textures and they are always willing to eat anything we give them.
* interact with each other more every day
* seem to enjoy bedtime more. They don't cry as much and can talk and interact with each other which seems to help. However, they don't keep each other up either. For example, when Cameron decides he's tired, he will just lie down and go to sleep. However, if he was previously entertaining Connor, Connor will start crying when Cameron goes to sleep. It's really cute.
* are starting to throw little fits. For example, when I have been sitting with them and stand up, Cameron will start throwing a hissy fit. Nothing has happened but he wants me to sit with him... all the time! The crying is different - no tears, no fear that I'm leaving - it's simply a cry that they want something that I'm not doing. Connor throws fits too but he tends to be more proactive. If I get up and leave the room, he will be crying while he's crawling to follow where I've gone.

CAMERON
* can stand without pulling up on anything
* has taken several steps but can't keep his balance for very long
* has a look of understanding - we're convinced he knows what's up even though he can't talk yet
* babbles a LOT but only ma ma is coherent for wanting me and da da for Mike
* got his 8th tooth
* responds with appropriate clapping to "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands" (when he's in the mood)

CONNOR
* only crawls in the formal style - no more military crawl
* can balance for a bit when standing
* smiles and giggles more freely now
* walks holding onto objects
* babbling is limited to ba ba
* still loves books

They are still as cute as EVER! =)
