Happy 1/2 birthday!
As cliche as it sounds, it's hard to believe that the time has flown by so fast (didn't we just bring him home from the hospital?). Just in the past week, Silas has gotten so amazingly interactive. He's found his voice, so to speak, and loves to screech and then smile at your reaction. He's a real sweetheart, too - talking (he said "ma ma", I promise!), laughing, smiling. He'll also fake a cough if he wants attention. Luke did this, too, so I guess my boys learn early on that if you're a chokin', Mommy's a runnin'. Plus: Silas is eating real food! [
8.9Mb Quicktime movie] But I don't think I'd be a fan of rice cereal, either... I find myself wanting to slow things down so that I can enjoy it more, but he just won't listen!
Silas, we love you so much! Happy 1/2 birthday!

So when you're watching this undoubtably brilliant child taking his first taste of the real world-is there anyone else out there who finds their mouth opening really wide and closing SO slowly as you help him master this feat? I've watched this several times and it is utterly impossible for me to keep my mouth shut - my jaw finally just jumps open-Here,honey. let me help you.

How CUTE is Silas!?!
By the way it is almost scary how similar you and Josh sound alike Beau. I was a little confused. Oh and I loved your insight into Silas's thoughts... I was cracking up. And Silas is just... adorable.
