About eating...
When I started you on solids, it wasn't a slow transition - it was a "FINALLY" for you.  Most books recommend maybe 2 meals of solids a day for a beginning eater - but no, you need 3.  And so much for that 1 Tablespoon of food idea.... you eat a bowl-full if not more.  I can't believe your ravenous appetite.  And I still think it's funny that you LOVE those bananas so much.

About you...
You aren't too fond of just hanging out.  Oh, you'll do it for a small window of time but, you'd rather be up and about with mommy.  And it's not about being held either, you just want to see the world.  It looks like you are just soaking in the activity around you and you have that look of "I can do that" in your eyes.  I think when you become mobile, you are going to have me running.

You are trying so hard to be as big as your big brothers...  I'm nervous about how fast you are catching up!

The Birthday Party

Technically, Cole should not have had a birthday party this year... we've decided on an "even year" basis.  Well, Daddy gave Cole a little challenge and the prize at the end was a birthday party - so that's what happened.  This boy is in love with Science, so we went with the science theme and it was a blast!  His neighborhood friends came over (plus his cuzin' Clayton) and we made glow-in-the-dark slime, did a few experiments, and even launched mentos/soda bombs at the end.  And check out that amazing cake, I found the pic online and Shayne made it -- he's AMAZING!
