OK, so I miscounted, it has been 4 months since I have updated and like I mentioned before, LOTS has happened.
We celebrated Cole's first birthday.
is in desperate need for an update! Wow! I haven't been here in 3 months and so many important things have happened since then. I promise to do a picture update soon with all that has gone on in the last 3 months. For now I will leave you with a Halleism:
This morning Cole was playing with Halle's pretend cell phone. She had left it on the table so it was fair game for him to play with. After about 10 minutes, she finally noticed he had it and was trying to take it away from him. I stopped her and explained to her that she plays with Cole's toys all the time and he does not try to take them from her. Then out of no where she said "Well, there goes the neighborhood!" Where does she get this stuff from?!
Halle: Mom, where does Santa live?
Me: The North Pole.
Halle: How does he get around?
Me: With his reindeer.
Halle: How does he get off of the roof?
Me: Santa is magical and can do anything.
Halle: He is just like my daddy!
"Mom, make sure you put some air conditioner in your hair after your bath so you can get the knots out of your hair."
**************************************
Halle: mom I wish there were gates at the zoo where they would let the giraffes out so I can ride them.
Me: you want to ride the giraffe?
Halle: yeah, but it's not allowed.
**************************************
Nana: What happened to my sweet Halle?
Halle: I am sweet Halle.
Nana: No, you are being sassy Halle.
Halle: No, I was just pretending to be sassy Halle.
**************************************
"Momma, I want to be a grown up so I can make milkshakes."
**************************************
Nana: Halle we need to brush your teeth.
Halle: I don't want to.
Nana: But your breath stinks.
Halle: But I want to have stinky breath!
Here are some pictures from 3 years ago of Halle and some of Cole from today wearing the same outfit!
Yep, that's right...BabyCole is now 9 months old! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. He is such a blessing and I love watching him grow and discover new things every day.
At his appointment this week, Cole was 20lbs. 8oz. and 27 3/4 inches which makes him 2 1/2 lbs heavier and 1/4 inch shorter than Halle was at 9 months. He had to have his finger pricked to check his iron and lead levels and he did awesome! He didn't make a sound when his finger was pricked, he just sat and watched what the nurse was doing with lots of curiosity. Cole was also a big boy for his shot, just one little whimper. He is such a trooper!
Cole is now pulling up on EVERYTHING! He is also cruising around the furniture. It won't be long before he lets go and takes his first steps. He came close the other day, but he just wouldn't let go of the table until he had his daddy's hand. We also had to move him from the infant car seat to a big boy car seat since he was just about at the weight limit. Cole is still sleeping about 12 hours a night *knock on wood* and eating like a champ. I am trying to introduce some table food, but he isn't taking to it like I thought he would. I have also been trying to get him to drink from a sippy cup. I have tried several and I finally found "the one." Cole successfully drank 2 of his normal bottles today from a sippy. Now that I have found one he likes, I need to go buy more.
