Cole

Thought I would devote this post to my little guy Cole in honor of the fact that in less than 2 weeks, he will be turning the big O-N-E year old! Man that is hard to believe! I swear that time goes into hyperdrive once you have kids. Anyways, my baby boy is growing so fast and changes every day. Right now, he is soooo close to walking. He takes about 3 or 4 steps before tumbling over, so I'd say its just a matter of weeks until he is strutting around like he has been doing it forever. He also babbles nearly all day long, but his only consistant words so far are "Mama" and "Dada". Oh and as of this week, we are offically bottle-free! He transitioned to sippy cups with no problem whatsoever. I tell ya, it is such a good feeling to know I'm never going to have to clean another bottle again! We are also just about done with baby food. Cole is eating mostly regular food now, with the exception of one or two jars of baby food a day. So as you can see, lots of changes are happening in my baby boy's life, and I'm looking forward to being there every step of the way.

A and J's Visit

So we had Ashley and Jerry here for a visit last week, and had such a good time. They got in Thursday night and stayed until Monday morning. They are both so easygoing and good with kids. Eve, in particular, was enchanted with them. She is such a people-person and was thrilled to have some new playmates! The poor girl started bawling the second they walked out the door to go home and has been drawing pictures of them on her magnadoodle since they left...LOL. Cole, however, didn't really come around until the last day they were here. He is at the age where he cries if you just look at him the wrong way...this applies to pretty much anyone that he does not see on a regular basis. But I will say that by Sunday, he was crying much less and seemed to have at least started warming up to Ashley. All in all, we had a great time and can't wait to see them again!
