I will be shocked if Rocco does not outweigh Gabby by the time she turns 4 years old.

Rocco continues to be a really great eater... and will probably eat us into debt someday. Matteo just in recent weeks has also become much more interested in table foods and willing to try table foods he snubbed in the past. In addition to being a speed-eater like his father, Rocco will also still try to feed Matteo, Gabby, me or whoever is feeding him. Gabby always loves it when Rocco tries feeding her. It's really cute to see him try and put pizza in her mouth. At least she'll eat for someone, I guess! Rocco definitely outeats his sister. Actually, both boys do on most days I think. Matteo is still a bit of a food snob... he has his favorite foods and will eat when he chooses to eat. He's happiest when he has control over what's being put in his mouth so you're best of loading a fork full of food and passing it off to him to put in his mouth. Usually, that is then followed by his happy dance (same dance as his "Go Diego Go" dance... he wiggles and giggles... so cute!). Matt would surprise you in that he's got a stubborn side and it comes out if you try to feed him something he's unsure of.

The boys continue to get busier by the hour. They even try to jump out of their highchairs when they've decided they're done or if we're taking to long to help feed them. One little guy stands up.. then the other decides to stand up. Crazy little copycats!

Dan had a GREAT suggestion for future feedings (not!)... he said "Instead of feeding these guys we should just throw out live kill. They'd probably have a lot more fun having to hunt their food... it would keep 'em busy for a bit. AND... they'd probably be more excited to eat it since they had to work for it."

Hmmmmm... something to consider I guess. Ummmm.... NOT!
