Stephen starting grabbing his toes. He can just barely reach them. He is also grabbing my shirt when I try to lay him down.
James has very few moments of jealousy, and even then he is a good boy: Robb was cuddling with Stephen on the couch and when he gave him to me, James immediately said: 'Now it's James's time!"
He is still his funny self, memorizing every expression he hears, like: "Who has two thumbs and is eating ice-cream? This guy! (pointing his thumbs at himself)" He is now learning chess-he's getting an idea of how to move pieces, and demands to play it all the time, so that when no one wants to play with him, he'll play by himself. He calls it 'chest.' He is also playing checkers with us--doesn't always follow the rules because he wants to win, but he is interested. It's sometimes funny how he likes to participate in everything the older kids are doing--he now wants to be tested in math using flash cards. Everything up to 10 he can do, and he gets excited when he gets right answers and wants to keep going...

We took the kids to St Pete's Beach where we met with Grandma and Grandpa to watch a couple of Red Sox games and enjoy a little bit of beach time.
Stephen was great! He stayed on his regular schedule despite the noise and the change of environment: he slept through the night (11pm until 7 or 8am, waking up once around 2 or 3am to eat and go right back to sleep), and he even napped during the game when it was time to sleep.
