Cole Turns Two Months Old!
Our little guy was born two months ago today! He sure has grown--he'll be taller than Guido the Orangutan soon enough! Love you, Cole! 6/21/2011.
Cole Meets Emma
Today was a very special day, because Cole got to meet a very special friend: Emma Ruth Burgart! She was born yesterday in the very early morning, and Cole was very excited to meet her. She's going to be a redhead (just like her mom), and Cole was smitten. OK, maybe "smitten" is a strong word. He's two months old, for Pete's sake. I think smitten is still a bit outside Cole's emotional range at this point. The point, however, is that Emma is a beautiful girl, and we're excited that Cole got another friend!

Dinosaurs and Ancient Egypt, right here in St. Paul!
Today we took Cole to his first museum! The Science Museum of Minnesota is always great, and they have a special King Tut exhibit going on right now. Cole learned all about ancient Egypt, the pharoahs, mummies, and all sorts of other cool stuff. He just had to try on the pharoah hat, too. (Of course, he pretends to sleep when we put it on him. Obviously, we'd never dress up our sleeping baby for our own amusement.) After the King Tut exhibit, we checked out other parts of the museum, including the dinosaur skeletons, but Cole seemed a little less enthusiastic about those. The triceratops in that picture is quite pointy, it's true, so perhaps he was just displaying good judgment and putting safety first. Good thinking, Cole. 6/18/11.

The Mr. Fusterbuns Song
A little bit of Cole fussing resulted in Daddy's Fusterbuns song. I wouldn't call this A-side Daddy, but it's still delightful. 6/9/2011.

Come on, make some Illinoise!
Just a pic of Cole rocking his Sufjan Stevens album cover onesie, thanks to Auntie Katie. Come on, Cole, make some Illinoise! June 12, 2011.
Sarah's Shower!
Today we celebrated Sarah and Baby K. It was a wonderful celebration full of wonderful friends and food. We are very proud of Sarah and Baby K, as they have weathered quite the storm: Sarah has been on bed rest for almost twelve weeks. Thankfully, Baby K has been cooperating, and Sarah was able to make it to her own shower, hosted by Lindsey, Melissa, Julie and Sarah's sister Mary. Cole made a brief appearance to cuddle with Sarah and sit on Baby K's head. He is very excited to meet the little boy! (Lindsey had to include a picture of her diaper cake above -- her first creative endeavor in a long time! Enjoy, Sarah!) June 12, 2011.

Another Successful Baby Triathlon
I think this might be Cole's thirtieth baby triathlon, and frankly, I think he's just hitting his stride. Never lost a race, this kid. Of course, he's never competed against another baby, either. And it's not like this type of activity lends itself well to competition. But on his parade I shall not rain, because he is the best baby triathlete that I have ever met.
Amma Momma Graduation!
Today Momma graduated from Amma Maternity's New Momma class. Over the course of the 6-week class, Mom learned all about babies and motherhood, discussing topics such as sleep, feeding, relationships, going back to work, and safety with the other new moms. Cole and his baby buddies learned all about being babies and mostly fussed, ate, cuddled and slept. Cole is pictured (at twelve o'clock) with his new friends. He's sleeping, of course. 6/8/2011.

Celebrating Julie!
We celebrated the impending arrival of Julie's little one on June 4. Fun games were played, and various delicious treats were enjoyed by all. And, of course, we had to get a picture of the remaining bellies, plus Cole. As displayed above, little Cole is becoming quite impatient and is ready for the next of the babies to arrive. June 4, 2011.
Welcome to the World, Baby Isabel!
When Cole learned that little Isabel Pollock had made her entrance into the world on June 2nd, he was very excited to meet her. Pictured above with Isabel's loving parents, the two were instant baby buddies. We're so excited you're here, Isabel! June 3, 2011.
