Haircut!

Kirk's Auntie Bonnie gave Cole a professional haircut last week! His hair was out of control - super long and he was being mistaken for a girl left and right. Kirk finally agreed that we could alter his 'signature look' a bit with a little bowl cut.

See how cute he looks? He's really losing that baby look! I can't get over how much he's changed! Couldn't be the 13 pounds he's packed on since we brought him home from the hospital...

Real food!

According to our pediatrician, waiting 6 months to give our kiddo solid foods is supposed to drastically reduce his chances of having food allergies. We made it! Cole is starting to eat rice cereal! Well, eat may not be the right word. He's starting to let me spoon it into his mouth, roll it around a little bit and then drool it back out onto his chin. Baby steps, right? A friend lent me her food mill and I'm about to try my hand at homemade baby food. I've downloaded my recipes, but if anyone knows of something particularly delicious, send it my way!

Six months old!!

Yesterday, Cole turned SIX months old! I can't believe how fast time has flown by. Seems like just yesterday we found out I was pregnant. We celebrated with some cupcakes that Kirk's mom made - well, Kirk and I did anyway. Cole enjoyed his first taste of solid food - delicous rice cereal. We tried to spoon it into his mouth, but he kept giving us this look like he couldn't figure out why we kept poking him with the spoon. He's such a big boy!
