She sits now and is so cute even when she's not sitting

He's on his way

Nathan left last night around 7pm and began the long drive to Oregon. He drove 'til the early morning hours before stopping somewhere in Iowa for the night, then got going again at a good time this morning. I just called and he is now in the middle of Nebraska, resting on a quilt under a shade tree (at a rest stop). I have to say though that driving through Nebraska still ranks higher than taking your little girl to get her immunizations, which is what i was doing this afternoon!

My first banana

Bananas are awesome because they're so easy and she slurps them down with minimal mess unlike the oatmeal cereal she's been eating. And of course she loves them. We need to try some vegetables soon before she gets used to eating the sweet fruits and begins refusing veggies.

My favorite thing to do is smile

She's a ham

The little girl loves attention these days. We'll find her staring at one of us from across the room and when we turn and smile at her, she turns into such a ham. She loves the attention and does what she can to get it... must take after her.. mom? dad?

Officiando

Its here officially. Eva Joy Cole, our daughter, is one week shy of 6 months and has eaten her first official baby cereal meal. Whoop Whoop!
With the ease of an fish in water, the watery goodness slid down her newly formed throat into the stomach, that from this point on will partake of varied and wondrous delicacies mankind has to offer. Congratulations Eva!

The Countdown Begins

In our 5th month of being in Indianapolis, the countdown till we leave for Oregon begins. Jan and Eva will fly the first week of July. Nathan will drive out the first of July. You may ask why Nathan would drive while Jan and Eva fly - the answer - SANITY. In our lifestyle of continual migration taking Eva thousand of miles across the states in the heat of summer for day after endless day of rolling wheat fields and dry gulches - Sanity my friend. Believe it.
