It's gotta be Christmas somewhere, right?

Cole is growing up. I knew this would happen eventually, but I didn't know it would manifest itself in more drool, more smiles, and the potential for learning high fives. But yes, we decided it was time for some new accessories to help his little mind develop. Enter the overstimulation station:





Here is Cole, semi-floating, flanked by all manner of shiny distractables. He loves poking, smashing, grabbing, and spinning. The biggest benefit of this thing though, is that it melds seamlessly into our industrio-modern decor.







He really does enjoy all the crazy stuff this thing has to offer. I still love accidentally capturing silly faces.





The other accessory we got him is a new stroller. He's JUST big enough to fit in a normal thing where he sits, gets buckled in, and faces forward so he can watch the world come at him. We figure he'll enjoy all of that input. So we put it together, and took him out for a stroll with the whole family. Let's go guys!





Unsurprisingly, he fell asleep within a few minutes.
