10 lbs

We just got back from the doctor's office and Cole is 10lbs 1oz, and 23 inches long. He is still below average for his actual age, but his corrected age (from original due date) he is within normal limits.

Happy 6 Month Birthday

Here's Cole with his namesake, Chicken Little.

Happy FIRST Mother's day

We enjoyed heather's first mother's day with a day by the pool, enjoying Mimosas. Cole came out with his bathing suit and hat and sat on the patio furniture enjoying the shade.

The Walk

The March of Dimes was originally founded to cure polio. When a cure was found, the charity shifted focus to research for premature births. Much of the research they have funded over the years has produced many medical advances for preemies. In fact, Cole may owe his life to some of these. Naturally we felt a strong affection for this organization. On April 29th we did the March Of Dimes 10K walk, along with 15,000 other people. All three of us walked, although Cole slept through most of it. Many of the stories we heard there were touching. Some were tragic. Although it was very emotional, it felt good to participate.
