4
Cole is 4 today!!! Cole continues to amaze us every day. He is smart, caring, compassionate and such a great big brother. We wish him the happiest of birthdays.
Today he enjoyed a party at school with his friends. Cupcakes and watermelon were the treats of choice as Cole was all smiles. His big party will be this weekend and we will do a larger post at that time.
Happy Birthday to our big boy

Derby Day
This past Friday was F.U.D.G.E. Day at Cole and Casey's school. F.U.D.G.E. Day is a day to celebrate Friends, Uncles, Dads, Grandparents and Everyone else. It is also time for the annual Pinewood Derby race. Last year Cole didn't show much interest in participating... until the day of the race where a very upset boy did not have a car to show his friends. So one year later and one valuable lesson learned, Dad and Cole worked on a car for the big race.
Now keep in mind that Dad is not the most handy of the bunch but to everyone's surprise, the car turned out pretty well. While it did not win for creativity (there were some pretty fancy and unique cars entered) and it also wasn't quite as speedy as others in contention we still had fun. So much fun that Cole played with it until the wheels came off (we need to work on the alignment next year) but no worries... it them became a cool jet plane.
Don't expect us in the pits at Talladega anytime soon but a good time was had by all. Below are some highlights.

Yummy Time
Having reached the 4 month milestone, Casey has been cleared to start working his way up the food chain and trying some new things. So this weekend we introduced him to Rice Cereal. After drinking from a bottle for the first 120 + days of your life and knowing nothing else... switching it up can be quite a shock. Casey hung in pretty well and while it may take some getting used to he will do just fine.
Here are the video highlights ( and a reminder of when Cole experienced the same thing )

Casey @ 4 Months
Casey is 4 months old today. He is a very happy boy and very smiley! Like Cole at this age, we have a boy with a wonderful temperament. We feel pretty darn lucky! At his 3 month doctor appointment he weighed in at 13 lbs and 8 oz and we know he’s grown over this past month so we are curious to see what his 4 month weight will be at his appointment next week.
Casey continues to be a good sleeper. Daddy gives him a "dream feed" at about 11:00 p.m. and that keeps Casey good through the night. He had a little congestion a couple of weeks ago which caused him to wake up at night for a few days straight - this reminded us how good we have it normally! Casey wakes up in the morning cooing and "talking" to himself which is just a wonderful sound.
Casey continues to do well at school. Still the youngest but he’s hanging with the bigger boys and girls just fine. He even does well with the daily commute. At this age he does some sleeping during our drive but he also enjoys watching his big brother. And, like Cole when he was an infant, Casey prefers the car to be moving. When we get the extra bad traffic or have bad luck with lights and are standing still too much, he’ll let you know that he’s ready to get moving. Cole has been just amazing with Casey in the car! He talks to his little brother, we sing, listen to music and, when Casey is fussy or has the occasional crying mood, Cole just hangs with it.
Yesterday (the day before he hit his 4 month mark), Casey rolled over from his back to his tummy for the first time. Over the weekend he had pushed onto his side and it seemed he was about to tip over - just tittering on his side - but then rolled back so it was only a matter of time.
Overall, we’ve got a happy, laughing 4 month old and an amazing soon-to-be 4 year old. We count our blessings daily!
Here is a glance at Casey's progression over the past 4 months
And finally... a look at Cole at 4 months next to his 4 month old brother
