Wow, that was like a water show!

We forgot a very key part of Cole's birthday experience. As people gathered in the dinning room, around the food, Cole, for the first time in a long time, decided to puke. It wasn't a chunky puke, thank god, but it was puke none the less, and it landed right on the dinning room table. Miraculously he missed all the food, seriously, it landed in the one spot that did not have anything edible. The reason I bring any of this up is because after we cleaned up, our friends young daughter, Gracie, said out loud, in perfect timing - "Wow, that was like a water show!" Ah, this is why we become parents.

A friend just recently shared her "Oh Shit" moment the other day when her second kid did his first pull up to a standing position on christmas morning - knowing that they now had two mobile children on hand. On our "oh shit" side of things, Cole has decided that while he is still not yet walking, he will climb like a pro. We had sat him down in a laundry basket, a favorite hang out, and he just stood up, held onto the sides, lifted his leg high and swung it over, followed by the other leg. No tipping the basket for this guy. Shelley and I just looked at each other and started laughing our asses off - knowing full well what lies ahead. He followed this up with a reverse approach and tried climbing into the bath - fortunately his legs are too short.

And if you wonder if Cole reads the Blog - No, he is too busy with the paper.

Hope the New Year is treating you all well.

Until next time...
