We had a low-key celebration for Cole’s birthday, but I think he had a lot of fun. The weekend took on a “game” theme. He was able to join Joe at the monthly poker game, which absolutely thrilled him. He did quite well – he’s turning in to quite the poker player, especially now that he gets the poker face concept. 
The next day, we met Grandma Pat and Grandpa Bob for lunch at a Chinese buffet that Cole really likes. Zach and Alex got to try all sorts of new foods – the wontons were big hits with them. Then we all went back to the house for presents (lots more games) and cake. Check out the pics in the Cole’s 12th Birthday album.
I’ve also added a bunch more photos to the “misc” Jan-Feb 2007 album (previously known as the Jan-Mar album until we filled up 20 pages in two months!). I haven’t had a chance to put captions on the newest ones yet (maybe this weekend), so if you check the album out in the next couple days, be sure to check back so you don’t miss my witty commentary.

Cole is turning the ripe-old age of 12 today, one more year closer to being an actual teenager. All we can say to that is, wow, time goes by fast!

The boys had their 1-year checkup yesterday, and they are doing great. They are both now 29″ tall. Zach is the skinnier one of the two at 18 lb 12 oz, and Alex weighed 19 lb 15 oz. Neither gained much weight since last time, but they are far more active now and don’t have as much baby fat. A few bouts with colds haven’t helped their weight either, but the doctor is happy with their progress.
Both of them have teeth coming in on the top. Alex has one that is out all the way and has a second one breaking through. Zach again is getting two teeth at once.
We all had a great time at the boys’ first birthday party. Thank you so much to all of you who were able to come celebrate with us! Z & A had lots of fun with their cake. Alex picked up the whole thing and tried to fit it into his mouth, while Zach made a mess and ate the pieces. Pics from the party have been added to the First Birthday album.
There are also new photos in the general Jan-Feb 2007 album, including Z & A playing with their birthday present from us (a Little People garage) and trying some new foods, and Cole playing with his early birthday present – a Nintendo Wii (I have to admit – it’s a lot of fun!).
