Poor Man

Poor little guy has bronchialitis so we have been up all night with him for two nights and he is so needy and miserable and it breaks our hearts. He refuses to eat much and it's really rough to watch him suffer. We have to use the nebulizer on him, which he HATES. He screams and screams and it is the toughest thing to do that to him while he stares at you knowingly. Feel better soon love.

Christmas Pictures

Cole met Santa for the first time yesterday, he is spending a few days with Nana and Pap and they took him to get his Christmas portraits done as well as to see Santa!

Breathe, Stretch, REACH, let it go....

When you become a mother you are fully aware of the nightmares of messy diapers, endless crying and sleepless nights. However, nobody truly prepares you for the experience of reaching. Cole has now discovered reaching, which do not get me wrong, we noticed a few weeks ago and we are proud of him for accomplishing the reach and grab. At first we thought, "aw, how cute, he reaches for my hair, except ouch that hurts a bit, oh well, its cute". Then we thought, "aw how cute, he's trying to reach for our food".

Now our thoughts have turned into (don't forget, only two weeks later) "Cole, stop that, it hurts... no Cole, that's Mommy's dinner... Cole you really shouldn't be reaching for the steak knife, it could hurt you... Cole, Im trying to feed you, stop grabbing your spoon every time it comes close to your wide-opened mouth...."

Oh my.. what are we in for!?!?!?!? Cute, but dangerous.

Sippy Cup Colton

Last weekend we introduced the sippy cup, but to no avail. This week, cole started to get the hang of it :) Poor thing has a cold, again, and is on an inhaler but he is in good spirits!!!!

LOOK what I can DO!

On Saturday, Cole went to his very first guitar show- he actually seemed to have a very good time, he really loves music.

Yesterday when I got home from work I noticed this significant change in Cole. All the sudden, he is so much sturdier and stronger, I swear he wasn't this strong when I left for work in the AM. I put him down on the floor, and as always , I didnt expect anything. However, even though he could BARELY hold his upper half up a few days ago, he surprised me and got into crawling position! He doesnt crawl quite yet, but a new light has gone off in his head, you can see that in his eyes. He is ready to crawl and trying to figure out how, he even reaches for objects that are in front of him, so I know he will soon figure it out. He's adorable:

Picture Day

Yesterday was Cole's first school picture day (ALREADY!?!?) at daycare. I dressed him in an adorable outfit and can't wait to see how they turned out.

He has been very clingy to Scott and I lately.. uhoh, is he spoiled or just getting old enough to love us back?

The MANY Halloween Faces of Cole

Cole's first Halloween was a success and I know he is going to love the holiday every year. If you don't believe me, check out the first picture... or maybe he turned into a vampire? oh my Cole, I know that everyone is into vampires these days but you don't have to be a follower... hehe Just Kidding. Really though Cole, I hope that you are an individual that takes the best characteristics from everyone you learn from and combines them into one amazing character. With that said, Check out the many halloween faces of Cole:
