Happy 3 months old Coal!

Coal now weighs 13 lbs 5 oz and is 24 inches long!
He can hold is head up all the time and can focus long distances. He's very alert and really enjoys playing with shiny musical instruments hanging from above and talking up a storm with dad. He seems game for anything (as long as he gets to nurse and nap afterward)!

Mama's boy Coal.

Thumb sucker Coal. Hurray...he found his own pacifier!

Biker Coal. We've been running all our errands in town using the bike trailer (or as I like to call it "The Sedator"). It works great! And I'm loving my new birthday-present-to-myself cyclocross bike! Getting used to hauling Coal behind me in anticipation for the upcoming Bike for Women.

Smiley Coal. This is one happy kid (most of the time). It's so fun watching him figure out how to use those hands.

Office Coal II. Still hanging with mom at work in the afternoons.

Government employee Coal.

Swimming in Alaska Coal. We've been going to Riverwalk (an indoor water track) at H2Oasis and swimming side by side in the current.

Look mom, no hands Coal! I love this infant life vest from Salus Bijoux!

Papa's boy Coal!

...talking politics with dad
...what?@#$ Palin thinks we should have a special election for Ted Stevens? ...didn't she call for him to step down just a few months ago?

...the discussion heats up!

...too heated!...all parties call a truce and concede to a nap.

...ahhhh armistice.

Rockstar Coal.

...jammin with the band

...tambourine solo!
