Arf! Cereal & Defense = Gone/Done!

Today was Brian's Master's Thesis Defense!  And he passed!  It was a nice, long presentation (powerpoint theme choosing credit due to moi) about the tests he has been doing for the past 1.5 years.  Unless you want to know more about fiber-reinforced polymers, steel orthotropic plates, and various wearing surfaces for bridge decks, I'll leave it at that.

Here's a picture of the two boys all dressed up for the occasion.

Prior to the presentation, Everett also helped out a lot with the prep work:

In other news, Everett figured out how to eat cereal for real.  He loves trying to help by grabbing the spoon and basically dive-bombs the spoon, your hand, and his bib anytime the cereal gets near his face.  And he's pretty proud of himself too.

Our silly little guy has also finally figured out that he can lay his head down when he's tired.   For the longest time, he would get tired when he was on his tummy and just cry.  Now he chills for a while in between heavy head lifting.  He rolled once more, but he really has more interest in standing than rolling.  He's also getting much better at sitting.  In fact, he was just sitting with his boppy, then leaned forward, then reached, then dive-bombed (he does this a lot...food, body....)
