"I Can Tell That We Are Gonna Be Friends" - The White Stripes
Today Kellan and I had the pleasure of visiting the Scoville's. Natalie Scoville and I have been friends for over twenty years. (You're right, we are getting old, Nat!) Her adorable kiddos, Ethan (almost 1) and Ella (almost 3), met K for the first time today. I would say it was a success.
K was great on the hour-plus car ride to Oklahoma City for our visit. I was hoping he would take a nap, but he didn't. So he was sleepy, but pleasant, most of the afternoon. Though pleasant, he wasn't the smiley, loud, talkative little K I am used to. He was very serious about exploring his surroundings...
He was also very serious about eating. I can promise you that what he lacked in charisma he made up for in gluttony. I think he ate his weight in food today. I honestly couldn't believe it. A piece of string cheese, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, two fruit ropes, animal crackers, dried cranberries, a cup of yogurt, a Z bar and a ridiculous amount of Cheez-Its - all over the span of two or three hours. I don't even want to know how many Cheez-Its he ate. You will notice that a common theme in many of the pictures below with K in them is that he seems to be looking for food. I am sure Natalie thinks that I starve this poor child.
K and Ella in the kitchen. Note: K is eating Cheez-Its out of that bowl Ella is holding.
Ella preparing imaginary food for her doll. He can't see it - doesn't know what it is - but K knows he wants some of that imaginary food.
Ella briefly abandoned her Cheez-Its and K made his move. I think Ella asked for a new bowl after this because, who wants to eat Cheez-Its with baby slobber on them?
K took a break from eating to examine Ella's doll with her. So cute! :-)

I can tell that we are gonna be friends...
Can't wait to do it again next Monday!
