Sylvan has begun to engage with the broader Spearman/Cook family clans! Yesterday he met his Richmond family - Aunts Jessica and Noell and his big cousin Elliot, who is one year older. Elliot was delighted and fascinated by his younger cousin, and can't wait to tell him all about the world of board books, wooden blocks, and solid food. We were also thrilled to welcome into the world another cousin yesterday, Samuel Coleman Cook, born to Erin and Seth in Dallas. These three guys will have so much fun when they are older! In the meantime their parents are a little tired... Sylvan continues to thrive and grow (though still has a little way to go for his new coat to fit - see photo). We continue to be grateful for his happy disposition, cute gurgly sounds, occasional billy goat cry, and good appetite.
