Jay in Maine
I just realized that the photos of Jay in Maine didn't make it onto the blog. Blogger said it was doing work on the site at 4 pm. I assumed it was eastern time, so at 7:00 I thought it was safe to post. It was really 4 pacific time. Oops. So Jay's posting is lost out there in cyberland. Here's some cute photos of him enjoying vacation.

It's been a month since a posting. Oops! Apologies to all the Cole and Jay fans out there (especially Aunt Robyn--if you weren't constantly begging for updates, I'd probably never get around to this). In the past month, we've visited Grandma and Pop Pop Mirman in Maine; Jay got his two bottom teeth; we took down Cole's crib so he has completely transitioned to the big boy bed; Jay outgrew his infant carseat and is now in the same one as Cole (he still has to face backwards so it takes up an incredible amount of space in the car. If you visit us before he is one (when he can face forwards), expect to be smooshed in the passenger seat); Cole has discovered Thomas the Train videos and is starting a new obsession; and both boys have continued to amaze us daily.

Jasper Beach, Maine

Cole loved Jasper Beach, which is made up entirely of rocks. He collected an entire bag of "treasures" and stuffed as many rocks as possible in his pockets.

Cole loved making "secret places" behind Grandma's quilts draped over the sofa:

The Photo Shoot

Cole's teacher wanted pictures of all the kids to make a birthday board. I thought it would be a good time to take some new pictures. Cole thought it was a good time to be silly. We never did get a good picture for school, but these truly represent Cole at 2 yrs old.
