january already??

Cate is 6 months old, sitting, standing, jumping, and even tried her first bit of "real" (if you can really call it that) food (tried rice cereal twice which she tried to puke up the 2nd time so then tried bananas). She even has slept completely through the night twice now (from 8pm to 7am) but she and James both got really sick this weekends so I'm thinking I can say sayonara to the zzzz's again. She also went to daycare with James this week (would love it if they had a permenant spot for her) and had an absolute blast-- she was a super good baby and Donna just loved watching her. We also think it's great that she and James get to spend those 3 days together.

James is my jokester as usual revelling in any silly concept he comes across (he dissolves into hysterical giggles if we put a bed in the bathroom of his fireman house he got for xmas). I'm starting to suspect he actually knows his numbers but always says them out of order on purpose-- he wanted 5 cookies so I told him he could have them if he counted them out with me. Well the turkey counted up to 5 without me even needing to prompt him! Usually if I ask how many things I have in my hand (say, 3 candies), he'll get a twinkle in his eye and declare "Five!" Or if I ask him what color the stop light is he'll say "red" (when it's clearly green) and then "red means go!" as he giggles! What a silly man!
