One of the things that has always been interesting to me is how baby's ages are measured. People say things in weeks, days, months, and some other units that I'm completely unfamiliar with. I used to think it was strange, but now I totally get it. Babies change so much in so little time that even a week, or sometimes just a day can present you with a totally different little dude. If we were measuring in grand metric units of 100 days, Cole would be one unit old. That's nuts! And boy has he changed a lot!
One of the most significant recent changes is his ability to breathe room air. This is so huge and exciting! He has now been off oxygen since Saturday at 11am. That's three and a half days! I am over the moon with joy about his strong little lungs.
Of course Cole couldn't be satisfied with all this good news, so he has decided to have elevated blood pressure for some reason. He's had this problem on and off for a couple weeks, and everybody's stumped. His kidneys look great, and he hasn't been anywhere near the salt lick. He is taking a little medication for it and has another ultrasound coming up to check out his gizzards. All the doctors are saying that it's no big deal, just a curiosity. Indeed.
This evening we had a lot of fun goofing around. Here's proof.
YAWN!
After the festivities, Cole was pooped and he fell asleep cozily beneath this beautiful blankie that Kate's aunt Gale made for him.
Is he fashion forward or what? I know, totally! Kate liked the blankie too. And is adorable.

Adam, that kid is SO OBVIOUSLY over your antics. He's looking at you in that fourth picture like, "Who, this guy? No, I'm not with him."
Over my antics?! Wait till Cole gets a load of the bending fork trick! For the 70,000th time!
AND DONT FORGET ABOUT YOUR FAMOUS TWIRLING-ON-YOUR-BACK ESCALATOR RUBBER RAIL TRICK! That is going to embarrass him TO THE MAX!
Love to see him giggling, love to see you joshing around with the ol' chap, love seeing the family blanket made with LUV from Ant Gale and most of all love seeing katie's smiling eyes behind the fuzzy blankie. Gotta go, tearing up now - no wait, that's just some dust in my eye - yeah, that's it - dust....
And PS he's an Obama baby! Sweet!
And I thought Obama was the star of the day! This litel baby takes the shine hands down now that he has decided to show us his funny faces for the first time. There is finally a light in his eyes ... welcome to the world little one.
OK Maggie, I'm admittedly crying....The Blanket, the baby;s wonderful expression and the light in Kate's eyes too! He's looking great. Keep it up you guys. Love, Gale
.. and there was me thinking it was Cole pulling a silly face to see how Adam would react .. Secretly plotting global domination ..
