Cole's 10 month Checkup!

Last Thursday, we had our appointment for Cole's 10 month check-up. He did wonderfully and is staying consistant on the height/weight charts. Here are his current stats:

Height: 29 1/4 inches (90th percentile)
Weight: 24 1/2 lbs. (95th percentile)
Head: 19 inches (95th percentile)

Thankfully, everything checked out well and Cole wasn't due for any vaccinations, but we went ahead and got him and Eve their flu shots while we were there. Eve was such a trooper and didn't cry at all for hers, but Cole screamed his little head off! Both kids are doing great and most definitely keeping me busy!

Eve and Cole

I've been writing so much about the new house that I've neglected to update on the namesakes of this blog. Life has been a bit of a blur lately with the two little ones. They are both at stages in their tiny lives where they are needing lots of one-on-one attention. So my days are spent best trying to balance my time between them and meet all their needs while still trying to preserve my sanity! Some days I feel as though I am moving non-stop from 6:30 am (when Cole wakes up) until 7:30 pm (when Eve goes to bed). Of course it is all worth it. I am so blessed to have the family that I do, and I thank God each and every day.

Let's start with little Miss Eve. Baby girl seems to think she is 2 going on 10 lately with the way she thinks she can do everything by herself. And I mean everything! This includes putting her shoes on, getting into her booster seat, turning on and off the lights, putting in her DVDs, picking out her clothes, etc. I'll admit it can be a bit frustrating when I know I can do everything twice as fast for her, but alas I'm trying to encourage her independence so I let her at least attempt to do most things herself. She is currently obsessed with the movie "Wall-E" and the TV show "Yo Gabba Gabba". And she is going through one of her many "I'd rather do anything but eat" phases.

Onto Mister Cole who has really been quite the handful lately. He turned 9 months old last week. Hard to believe my little guy will be one in less than 3 months! For reasons unknown to me, he has turned into quite the cranky baby as of lately. I'm hoping its just teething (he still has zero teeth!) and that it passes soon. If I'm not holding him and walking around, he is either crying or throwing a tantrum. It can make every day feel like the longest day ever when you spend every minute of it trying to soothe a grumpy baby. At the same time, I know how quickly the first year goes by, and that I probably won't even remember this in a few months. Cole is doing great with eating, and we are finally starting to get into eating some table foods. So far he's had yogurt, crackers, cheerios, bread, peas, and carrots...and he loves it all! I will be so happy when we are done with baby food and we can all sit down and enjoy the same meal together!

Both kids are due for check-ups and flu shots in the next month so I'll be updating again then. God bless!
