Double click on the picture to see this montage larger. This is one of the funniest things we have ever seen them do. First Andrew licked Ethan's face and then Ethan paid Andrew back with a lick of his own. It appeared they were communicating with each other and then it all ended when Andrew got scratched. Those little nails grow so fast.
Grandma and Ethan are checking out the Christmas tree. He is about to touch an ornament that spins. Next year when they are mobile, we'll have to put the fragile ornaments a bit higher.
Andrew is very inquisitive about Grandpa's beard. He has a tendency to grab hair and doesn't let go. Ouch!
Ethan's standing balance is getting better every day. David is only holding onto the back of his shirt. Though he still won't take a pacifier, he does like to chew on all sorts of things. Where are those teeth lurking?
What an exciting toy! It's a piano and xylophone at the same time. The boys love to make noise. Mama likes it too because it's not too loud. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa.
We visited David's office to wish Grandma Crawford a happy birthday. Here's Andrew and mama. Doesn't he look like me? We have the same eyes, cheeks, skin and ears.
The boys are now in separate cribs. Ethan is on the left hanging onto the side of his crib. I believe they miss being in the same crib because first thing each morning they don't take their eyes off of each other. We were fortunate to find a matching bedding set at a consignment sale. It is an earlier version of the set we were given at our shower.
Ethan on left. They have moved to the next size of clothing, 6-9 months. It seems like the change happens overnight. All of a sudden the pants are too short and the shirts won't snap. This time it was a sleeper that caused the wardrobe change-over. I noticed that Andrew couldn't pull his feet to his mouth because his sleeper was stretched too tight.
Ethan is becoming such a charmer. He has decided that he likes sitting up or standing better than laying down. He can lock his legs and support his own weight. Of course we have to hold him so he doesn't lose his balance.
Ethan goes to town in the exersaucer. Since he plants his feet, he can spin easier and loves to touch all the things that rattle. Most toys go in his mouth for a chew. If you put a finger in his mouth, it feels like he is going to gnaw through it. I don't see teeth yet, but we're sure they are trying to grow.
December 9, Andrew rolled over from tummy to back for the first time. Wow! What an accomplishment!
Andrew likes the exersaucer, thanks again grandma and grandpa. He likes to push the buttons that cause music to play. He doesn't have the hang of putting his feet down yet, but I'm sure it won't be long before he is bouncing.
What a tired boy after all the excitement of a new toy. Time for bed.
We are very thankful for our growing family. We are also thankful for the family and friends that could spend time with us this Thanksgiving weekend. 
On thanksgiving morning, we only had one high chair so David fed Andrew his first solid food, rice cereal. Ethan sat in the high chair and let a good portion of the food dribble out, but they both seemed to like the food.
Ethan and Andrew are 16 pounds. Their heads are different shapes but have the same circumference. Ethan is 26 1/2" while Andrew is a bit shorter at 25 3/4". Andrew is on the left.
Nana Janelle assisted Ethan with his bottle after thanksgiving dinner. Ethan can hold the bottle most of the time but still needs assistance from time to time.
