Below are two pics of the little brown bunny before we went out tonight. I know it's not the most inspired costume, but hey, is it better than nothing?

The past two weeks have been a great biology experiment around our place. Silas had his first snotty nose cold - go go gadget immune system! He also has experienced his first solid poops since starting food; not his favorite experience. I felt so bad about his first one - he gave me the cutest 'what is happening to me?!?' look followed by a number of super sweet little baby grunts. I love watching his body awareness develop. But that was last week, and now he's a pooping pro.

Jeff was away in Utah for most of the sick Silas days and surprise surprise has come home sick. So I am steeling myself for back to back colds, as I'm sure spreading the germs from Jeff to Silas will be inevitable. They say that babies need to get 2 or 3 colds before they are 12 months old to develop their immune system, so we are doing our best.
