Now for a little spotlight on kid #4, Drake Xavier. Drake was also born on Sept. 14th (duh...that's usually how it works with twins!). He weighed 7 lb 12 oz and didn't breathe at first which was pretty scary. But he turned out to be very healthy. Tyson picked Drake's name because it means "little Dragon" and we thought that was cool. Xavier was a name that Tyson had wanted to use even before we ever had kids. Drake is our only child that isn't named after a relative in some way.
Drake pretty much cried for the first two months but now that he is two he is honestly the sweetest, easiest child on the planet! He rarely does anything to get in trouble, unless Garrett shows him how first. He loves to cuddle but doesn't give very many kisses. He has a little habit of sucking his right thumb while rubbing his left hand through his hair. He does this a lot! He also loves to play with other people's hair.
Drake is the skinniest child we've ever had. All the other were rather chunky babies but Drake must have a great metabolism. Seriously, this kid can eat and eat and eat but you'd never believe it. He's always hungry! The poor kid has to shove all his food in his mouth at the same time though to protect it from his more deviant twin. He also loves to read. His favorite book is Llama llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney and believe me we have read it a million times. Luckily I like the book too so it hasn't driven me crazy yet.
He is also a very helpful child. He's good at picking up his toys and he's taken it upon himself to throw away all the diapers as soon as he is changed. Lately he has been very interested in blocks.
Drake is tons of fun. It will be interesting to see what he grows up to be.
