Oh hai!

It's February already? The MIDDLE of February? Jeez. I don't know what happened to January. I guess there was too much work and not enough fun, but fortunately that is all turning around. The last couple weeks have been full of silly!

Cole has learned how to open cupboard doors.

He likes to dismantle the blender. Strange that the folks at Gymboree call him "Danger Magnet."

Speaking of Gymboree, here's a shot of him enjoying the bubblefest there:

BUBBLES!!

And we've found a new place called "Indoor Playground" where we can go and play. It's like a playground ... but indoors. Genius!

We've also been goofing around the house quite a bit. As well as getting into the cupboards, Cole has enjoyed rummaging through the only drawer he can reach:

which also happens to contain the drugs which he no longer needs to take.

We are super excited about his growing healthy enough to leave the drugs behind. Not only is it awesome that he no longer has kidney stones or high blood pressure, but selfishly it's way less work to feed him in the mornings and at night. Significant stuff! Get outta here drugs!

On a lighter note, this is what Cole would look like if he was in jail, and enjoying it:

And this is what he would look like if he was driving a car (concentrating really hard):

And this is what he would look like if he was driving a car, and being followed by the oscar meyer weinermobile, if he didn't know it existed:

And this is what he would look like if he was being coy and curious and stuff:

And this is what he would look like if he was STANDING UNASSISTED in the hallway:

Exciting right?! Although that only lasted about 5 seconds and I was lucky to get a shot, but still! We're stoked! So stoked that we went straight into a rigorous training schedule to get Cole onto the U.S. Ottoman Scooching team:



We are hoping for a 2016 Olympic bid.

On a less Cole-related note (boring), I had my first freelance photo gig last Thursday. I went and shot cupcakes at a super awesome bakery in Brookline called Party Favors. Here's some excerpts:

Partial payment for this gig was a custom Valentimes Day cake, which ended up looking like this after my simple request:

We ate that cake over the weekend. It was delish.
