Lots of fun new photos of the guys in action.

Allan got a gold star today from his PT Julie. She hasn't seen him for a couple of weeks and was very impressed with how well he sits up on his own and balances now. He's doing very well with "tummy time" and lifting his head, too. He was really showing off -- looking around and following objects, turning over, and pushing up. And not complaining (much) about it. She says that he is the sweetest, hardest working baby. You can tell that he is feeling better and getting stronger. He really tussles with Griffith over toys now and swats at him and pushes back when Griff charges in his direction. For his part, Griffith is doing a lot better at being "gentle" and "easy" with Allan. Right up until he takes his montrous paw and whacks him. Or crawls over top of him. Or knocks him over when Allan is trying to sit. Other than that. (Actually, they are doing better playing "together" -- in each other's vicinity and with the same toys.)

Griff is doing better with the eating. We still aren't up to any great quantities, but he is at least feeding himself with his fork. And he is putting his sippy cup in his mouth, but not drinking from it yet. We have tried to show him how to use it, but he refuses to be told any thing. (Very similar to his father in that respect!) He is very much in to climbing on whatever he can find. That's not going to end well for him, but he's very determined. His other new trick is to, when told "no," to look at you, hold his breath, turn red and growl while straining and shaking. Think a very small, pink Incredible Hulk imitation and you have the picture.
