Long Time No Blog
Ok, so I know it’s been like, 4 months since I’ve posted anything. But, I’ve upgraded my blog and I’m gonna make a point to start blogging regularly again. I forget how many people actually read this thing until I get yelled at for not posting. It’s not difficult to come up with useful stuff to write these days, as our life has pretty much been consumed with the rapidly growing spawn of my loins. This kid is growing like a weed, and destroying everything of mine he can get his strained-carrot coated hands on. Since I last blogged, he’s popped two teeth, started popping two more, started babbling “mama” or “dada,” learned to crawl, pulls himself up using furniture, your leg, a dangling laptop cable, or whatever is available, can stand on his own, drops solid deuces, waves, and generally isn’t afraid to tell you what he thinks (at least in baby language). Tonight, he took his first step. Woah.
One more thing…I’ve always been in search of a neat tag-line for my blog, and tonight I’ve decided upon “The cool side of the pillow.” It’s in reference to this phenomenon that my dad and I have experienced for years where you constantly flip your pillow over throughout the night so that your head is resting comfortably on the cool side. My mom vehemently denies this phenomenon exists, but I beg to differ. If you practice the simple act of pillow flipping, post in the comments below. My dad and I can’t be the only ones!
It’s crazy to think that Colton is 10 months old already! As requested, there are some recent photos below, and the link to all of our photos is over there to the right. I’ve also uploaded some videos of him. If you want to see them, shoot me an email. Enjoy!
I only flip in the summer when I need a cool side.
Don’t seem to do it in the winter.

I flip all year round. There’s just something relaxing about laying your head on a cool pillow.
Seems as though the image in the comments isn’t showing up correctly in IE, so it’s mucking things up. You should
still be able to read them until I get home to fix it…
I thought everyone knew of the cool side of the pillow. As a person who is always sweaty, I appreciate the cool side.
I like your new theme. Very nice. Just post more often!
The cool side of the pillow is like having a tall glass of cold water just when you need it.

Thanks Dan, I like it too. I get sick of themes a lot, so I like to rotate in, but I’ve tried to stay consistent for as long as possible.
Well said dad…it’s like quenching your thirst, for your head…
I like the cool side of the pillow, myself, but I find myself flipping it more often in the summer (it may depend on how warm you keep your place). And for those feather pillow users, you’ll agree with me that you also have to smack it a few times to fluff it back up. Ahhhhhhhh. Like the first drink of milk in the morning.
I only flip when I’m hot or can’t sleep. But I know some avid flippers, even besides you and pa. Thanks for posting, always enjoyable. And thanks for keeping the Colton pics coming and keeping me sufficiently homesick
Wow! I can’t believe the newest Jansen is already WALKING?!?! I saw your parents over at the G.M. - I was telling your mom I haven’t seen any new pictures of Colton lately and she told me you (finally!) blogged again. Thanks for keeping us in the loop! Send my love to Cindy and lil’ C too!
