Salems little big brother turned 2 today...

He didn't seem all that impressed with the festivities...

He didn't care about the yummy birthday muffins,

...he got none!

He didn't care about snack time,

...he got the same thing he always does.. milk in a bottle.

He didn't care about bubble time,

...he got bubbles in his eyes.
He didn't care about fun time at the park,

... he doesn't walk, ride, swing or slide...

He didn't care about double layer chocolate cake with chocolate pudding and chocolate glaze,

...it's not like he got some pureed in his bottle.

So to Kages 2nd birthday he says... "Meh!"

What a cute kid... whoa deja vu... again

It amazes me how much Salem looks like Kage. And it amazes me how much Kage looks like Scout.

The three of them are absolute clones. The only way to tell them apart is to check the bar code on their feet. OK - there's not really a bar code. And you can tell them apart, cause they are all roughly a year apart. But the real issue is when you are looking at pictures.

The other day, I saw a picture on the piano and asked "alright, who took a picture of Kage in a dress?" It was a picture of Scout from a year ago.

I have a picture of Scout in my office from when she was several months old. She looks exactly like Salem.

There are times (many times) when Tree and I have to ask each other which one is in a picture.

So where do I stand when people ask if I think cloning is ethical, moral, and legal? I guess by my actions I agree with it.

first lasts...

Salem is the caboose, but since our family of 9 kids, boasts 5 cabooses, I'd like to get off at the next station.

Therefore Salem is our Ender. He is also the last of all the firsts.
This very night is the last night that he will retain his 6 month old status.
In this 6th month...
he gained some weight,
tried baby food (didn't like it)
started smiling on cue.
started chewing on fingers, sometimes his own....
trys to wiggle out of a diaper change,
looks more like his daddy every day...
cut his first tooth... a last first...
