Many Things To Smile About

I have gone out of my way to avoid putting really, really embarrassing photos of Kole just for the sake of getting a cheap giggle for adult amusement. But, there's one particular little habit he has that must be ... documented and preserved photographically, since it would be too easy to think that it is something we've exaggerated. But - no, it's no exaggeration that we've had to secure many of Kole's diapers with duct tape. If left unattended, in his room for a nap as an example, he will have his pants off in no time. Then, without hesitation, off will come the diaper. There has been one very unfortunate incident with a diaper-less Kole, but otherwise there's just a constant threat of an incident. So, on ocassion, we will have to take drastic measures to secure the diaper.

In other news, we are getting some more frequent smiles from Karissa. We may be on the verge of cooing, giving us some other noise besides a cry. She is definitely more fun to have awake, as she also will keep her head up for several seconds at a time. Her big brother is learning to love his little sister. On a couple of instances, he has actually held Karissa while sitting on the couch. He smiles and has that look of being proud of himself for carrying out such an adult-like activity that he sees from his mom and dad. However, when a camera comes out, he quickly gets nervous and whiney. It's very strange and suspicious. It's like he knows what it is and just doesn' want to be photographed. Strange kid. Must be his Thomas genes coming out.
