11 months, 4 weeks, 2 days Dillon had a blast at his first birthday party this weekend. He ate about two pieces of cake and loved popping the Bubble Man's (url) beautiful birthday bubbles.

11 months, 2 weeks, 2 days Dillon recently confused his nanny, Sheila, for a whole week by getting his hair cut shorter than Cale's. Strangers say they can tell the two boys apart but Cale and Dillon's caregivers know it's only their hair and a hidden little birthmark that distinguishes the two physically. However, although they look similar both boys are clearly very different people. Dillon loves chewing on books, and got a real kick seeing the airplanes at the Museum of Flight this weekend.

10 months, 2 weeks Lots of big developments this week. Dillon has recently begun tottering around the playroom on his chubby little legs, and he's starting to communicate well. He says "Mama" or "Dada" to the appropriate parent, signs "milk" and "more", and screams like crazy when he doesn't get his way. Dill has also figured out a clever way to eat those hard to pick up bites of food: he slides them close to him on the table and then picks them up with his mouth like a puppy dog.

10 months The boys have begun on table food in earnest. Dillon is thrilled, because it means no more Green Monster (baby food made from peas and green beans). Mom and Dad are thrilled, too, because it means meal times are easier. But since Dillon's been sick this past week, so it's been mostly breast milk for him while he convalesces.

9 months, 3 weeks Watch out world! Dillon took a few very wobbly steps before falling. He's cruising all over the place and is clearly very close to walking. He also enjoys: clapping, Cheerios, horsies, and stealing Cale's toys.

7 months, 2 weeks Dillon gets his first two teeth. And managed not to bite his Mama. He's also a crawling fiend now. He managed to figure the whole thing out in about a day, from his first try to mastery.

6 months, 2 weeks, 1 day Dillon loves that music. He dances all day long by shaking his head like crazy. Add Cale with his booty bump, and the two of them are a little dance party.

5 months, 1 week, 1 day Mama, Sheila, Cale, and Dillon just returned from a trip to Fraser, CO. Cale and Dillon spent their days with Sheila in the lodge by a warm fire hiding out from the freezing winds outside while Mama attended a conference.

4 months, 3 weeks, 3 days Dillon says something that sounds a lot like "Mama!" when he wants comfort. He's also figured the rolling thing out and is moving everywhere.

4 months, 3 weeks Both twins are starting to notice each other, and toys too. Griffin is the sweetest big brother in the world. He genuinely delights in them when they laugh, and soothes them when they fuss. Mama and Dada have several times walked in to see Griff rocking Dillon and singing him a song.

4 months, 1 week, 6 days A surprise snowstorm shut down Seattle. Dillon was lucky enough to get stuck at home with Mama. Brother Cale went with Sheila to pick Griff up at daycare, and the three of them got stuck there! Super-Dad came to their rescue, picking them up and walking home three miles through the snow with a toddler and a baby. Dillon and Mama tried not to worry too much and cooked hot soup for everyone on their return.
