week number one

cole has been here for one week and i think we're finally starting to get the hang of things.

lindsey helped us think through some rules of engagement and aaron and i have talked through our own methods and approaches.

although it's been a lot of fun, it's also been a lot of work. =) i suppose we knew it would be, eh?

we have the most trouble around eating, mainly that he takes one bite, declares he is done, and when any food is suggested to him after that point, turns his head and forcefully utters 'yuck'. but i think we've worked out a solution that works for us. if it's still working for us in a week, maybe i'll share (don't want to jinx it). tonight he ate his whole plate and asked for seconds, so that's encouraging.

we've been to the park nearly every day with him, and i think he really loves that (thanks for the park recommendations erika and lindsey).

i may be posting some pics of him soon, but he really moves so fast, it's hard to get any good ones, ya know?

i have a feeling my blog and my social life may suffer significantly in the next few weeks as i put all my energy into the kid(s). if that happens, please keep checking back. i'll be around as much as possible and i'll try not to tell too many kid stories, i promise.
