Happy Half-a-Birthday, to Noah!!!

 In honor of Noah being 6 months old yesterday, we threw him a half-a-birthday party...the main attraction being that he got to officially eat banana off a spoon. He liked it just fine. (Like we were worried...the little plate grabber. :)
 The REST of us, did not eat mashed banana. We ate half-a-birthday cake. :) It was good too.

The "icing on the cake" however, is that we brought home two fierce and mighty mousers...who are still about the same size as some of the rats we've seen, unfortunately. However, perhaps SOMEDAY they will be fierce and mighty mousers. Anyway, meet Mene and Mishi ( MIN-yeh and MEE-she). Mene is a Waorani word for jungle cat; Mishi is Kichwa for "kitty". In fact, I have friends who make a swishing noise to call a cat, which is actually "mishi-mishi-mishi-mishi" run together, like we would say, "here, kitty kitty kitty". (For any who are curious, Mene is the one sleeping in the picture. His "leopard spots" are more pronounced. )

Fun day! :D
