(Kellen - stripes, Toben - truck)
Since I always get asked I still can't really tell them apart with a quick glance (though we usually dress them differently so we and the kids can tell quickly who is who) but their personalities and mannerisms are different enough that if you watch for a couple seconds you can tell them apart easily.
Kellen is such an easy, even tempered baby - much more than any of the other three ever were. He has 2 bottom teeth now and will army crawl though usually seems content to stay where he is for the most part. He has a huge smile that he flashes often at any and everyone and an adorable dimple. He is enamored with Logan and he and Caiden are buddies (Caiden always wants to hold or play with Kellen). At his 9 month appointment he weighed in at 15.2 lbs and 26" long.
Both boys are great eaters and always interested in food. They are eating 3 meals a day (oatmeal with fruit for breakfast and rice/beans with veggies for lunch and dinner) and are also nursing 3xs/day. They typically take two naps though with 2 older siblings those are much less consistent and predictable than they ever were for Caiden or Rylan! I usually feed them around 11pm and they sleep until 6 or 7am.

Toben reminds me a LOT of Caiden as a baby. He is generally happy too though much more likely to vocalize (loudly) when he thinks you need to be doing something for him. He is more easily upset and almost always the first to wake up in the morning or from a nap. He is a much more frantic eater and for the first time weighs more than Kellen at 15.4lbs (not a big difference between the two, but still). They're still the same height at 26". Toben has one tooth on the bottom and is a crawling fool! He can be found anywhere in the house at this point and is always exploring and carefully studying new things.
