This was the first time I've been back to my alma mater since I graduated, and without going into details that was a hell of a long time ago. I met up with my good friends Erin and Steve, and we had a great time reliving the "good old days" of drinking beer all day, and basically being care-free. Danna gets the blue ribbon award for letting me booze it up the entire weekend while she took care of Cole.
Cole thoroughly enjoyed Erin and Steve's kids, and he almost got the hang of sleeping in a strange environment toward the end of the weekend.

Seven months. Seven inches. It was time for Cole to meet Mr. Scissors and get his first haircut. It might have cost $25.00, but Cole got to sit in a freakin' airplane, for Pete's sakes. He did a great job. No tears, no fuss.
We're going to have to find another nickname now. Krazy Ass Hair just doesn't work any longer.
Euro Model
Cole, before the big day.
GQ
With a little gel Cole can be very smoov.
You're Gonna Do What?
Before the first cut, Cole has some second thoughts.
Long Hair
Wow, that's some long hair. Hey, what's that over there?
Are We There Yet?
Cole waits very paitently while the all-important "evening" of the hair is completed.
Hey, This is Fun
Cole starts to get into the swing of this haircutting thing.

A few pho-toes of Cole around seven months. He's starting to crawl around now, can sit up on his own, and takes swim lessons every Saturday. "Swim" lessons amount to getting wet and promising not to do anything in the pool that would require it to be drained.
Cole's getting his share of culture. He's been to the Italian festival to see Craig's Foto Italiano and to the Greek festival to watch mom and dad chow on Greek food.
Cole also knows a single word: "Dat". He says it all the time, as in, "Cole, see the kitty?" "Dat". "Cole, see the bottle?" "Dat". Smart kid.

Feeding Frenzy
A few weeks ago we started Cole on rice cereal. Since then, Danna has made it her personal goal to find out what other things we can get him to eat. Really, I think she's got a running bet with someone.
The Great Outdoors
We took Cole on his first hike last weekend. Hiking turns out to be quite convenient for Cole: he just sits there and we pull him up the hill.
Crawling
Cole is starting to crawl, sort of. What he really does is drag himself forward with his arms, and push off with one leg. The other leg stays completely rigid, causing us to refer to this technique as the "horizontal one legged pirate dance". Arrrg.

6 Month Check-up
Cole went to his 6 month check-up yesterday. Luckily Dr. Telzrow has quick reflexes because once his diaper came off Cole took aim at Dr. Telzrow. Cole is at a 50/50 rate for peeing at people at the doctors office. Cole weighed in at 16 lbs 6.5 oz and measured 26 inches tall.
New name for Cole
We have a new name for Cole - we just call him tooth. His first tooth broke through last Thursday. It is his bottom left front tooth.
