Quick update

Mckay is 4 1/2 months old.  He is a generally happy, tall, slobber monster.  Nate says, "likes me, mom!  (McKay) likes me!"  I love to see Nate find so much happiness in his little brother.  Camden also LOVES to make McKay giggle.  :)  McKay can roll over from his tummy to his back.   He is fairly tall for his age, and a little more rolly than Camden and Nate were.  He's not exactly a chubby boy, but my biggest so far!  When he's in the right mood, he loves to be startled-- his eyes will get big, his whole body will jump a little, and then he giggles and giggles.  It is so funny!  Camden has started to carry McKay.  It is always Camden's idea and always makes me nervous!  But, he's never dropped him, so I should probably  relax a little.  :)

Nate is getting so much older in the way he talks and understands.  He's starting to understand the concept of consequences, waiting for something until something else happens, and he is just starting to talk about comparing things.  He loves to repeat other people.  He's super ticklish on his neck/shoulders and often asks to be tickled.  Coloring is probably his favorite activity.  He also likes playing by himself, with no Camden around.

Camden is starting to read more.  He is bored of the "reading lesson book" and wants to read real books, which is so exciting!  He still likes to sit for a long time while Brian reads to him.  He loves loves loves his dinosaurs, but it seems like he has other interests that are starting to balance out the dinosaurs.  The other interests at least make it so I don't wish I could banish everything dinosaur from our house.  :)  He likes playing soccer in the back yard, but mostly asks for baseball.  He can hit the ball more often than I expected. 

Anyway, here are some pictures:

(The older boys, surprisingly, were just fine.  Mr. M's cries can carry pretty well, though!)
