Milestone after milestone

Cole was high on life the other night. He was such a whacko during playtime that he reached two new milestones just by sheer uninhibited zealousness…

#1. First actual jump in which both feet leave the ground (as opposed to the semi-jump, in which he cheats and squats down like he’s going to jump to great heights but then just springs up on the tip-toe of one foot while lifting the other way up and reaching his hands toward the sky).
We had gotten used to the semi-jump, so we were pleasantly surprised when he held up a plastic kangaroo and yelled "Hop! Hop! Hop!" and than got actual air with BOTH feet. We kept having him repeat the stunt and got to witness a few cheerleader-looking jumps with some semblance of a split in the air. He’d fall down, laugh and do it again. Finally he stopped the splits and, lo and behold, he landed on his feet.
Keep it up, buddy. May you be fortunate enough to continue landing on your feet your whole life.

#2. First brother-to-brother bodily harm.
Graham was sitting on my lap staring at his brother in amazement. "Will I ever be this hyper?" Cole found a rattle and after giving it a few hearty shakes decided to comply when I asked him to share it with "Gigi." He got such praise for handing the rattle over to his little brother that when he came across another rattle, he got a little overzealous… He looked up and with his biggest proudest smile, he threw the rattle right to Graham. Poor Graham can’t catch and sat there drooling as the little plastic boomerang bounced right off his forehead. He cried. I fussed. Then Cole cried too. Then Dan came in and said ‘What is that Whelp on Graham’s head?"
First of MANY, I’m sure.
