This picture is from a few weeks ago when Jay first started walking. Cole decided that he needed some help and held his hand as they walked across the kitchen. Luckily the camera was on the counter.

Jay is now an expert walker. In fact, he practically runs. One of his favorite games is to grab a toy Cole is playing with and run away with it. It infuriates Cole, expecially since we told him he cannot, under any circumstances, tackle Jay. It's rough being the big brother.

Cole loves his butterfly pillow.

Grandma Mirman sent a little pillow with two pillow cases-the butterfly one and a frog one. Cole was thrilled by both of them and carried the pillow around with him for a few days. Our babysitter (who was here when we opened the box) and I thought the butterfly pillowcase looked a little girly, but Cole likes butterflies so we didn't think too much about it.

When Cole and I called grandma to say thanks, we learned that the butterfly pillow case was for Cole's cousin Alexandra--grandma got the labels on the boxes mixed up. (Alexandra ended up with a firetruck pillowcase.) I asked Cole if he wanted to trade the butterflies for firetrucks and he very emphatically said "NO!" I hope Alexandra likes firetrucks!

I think the babysitter, who is a special education major at College of Charleston taking a psychology of gender class, was a little disappointed that it was a mix up. She thought it was cool that grandma sent a girly pillow to her grandson.
