9 months!

It's been a long time since I posted last and Cole has been very busy. He is standing on everything! He is also walking when we hold his hands, not on his own yet but he's getting there. He has a lot to say and is now shaking his head no, he doesn't know what it means but it's fun to do.

His new obsession is shutting the doors. If there is an open door he will crawl to it and shut it. We always know exactly where he is by the sound of doors shutting. He is a handful and is starting to show his temper! If he doesn't want something or its in his way he throws it. This includes the cat, but he grabs her fur and pushes her out of his way.

Standing

Cole is FINALLY standing. I showed him how to get up on his knees and that was all the help he needed. The rest of the day Monday he was crawling up on everything. Then he was trying to stand, but there isn't really anything for him to pull up on. Last night Casey went to check on Cole in his crib and there he was as happy as can be and standing up. So it's time to lower the crib, but it is kind of sad because it made me realize how much he has grown. Soon (hopefully) he will be walking and every day I look at him and he looks less and less like a baby and more and more like a little boy. Depressing!

Swimming is Fun!!

Cole went swimming for the very first time today! We went out to Jill's and he had fun with little Maddie. The water was kind of cold so they didn't stay in there very long, but he still had fun splashing around.

Another baby boy!!

Cole would like to welcome another new buddy. Tyler Joseph Kepley was born 5/13/2009, he was 7lbs 4oz and is absolutely adorable. Congratulations Jill, Adam, and Maddie.

(We will get pictures of both babies soon and post, so be prepared for a cuteness overload!)

New Cousin!!

Cole has a brand new cousin. Haley had her baby boy on 4/21/2009, Drake was 6 lbs 11oz and lots of dark hair. Congratulations Haley!

Play Day!!

Grumpy on the swing

Cole and I decided to go to the park with some friends yesterday. We had a great time even if Cole couldn't do anything except play in the grass. With the weather warming up we will definitely be doing it again soon.

He's Choking...

or at least that what he wants you to believe. That's right my sweet little baby has turned into a dramatic devil. When he feels like he isn't getting adequate attention he goes into a fit of choking until you start to pick him up. Then he laughs. Apparently he thinks its pretty funny to see the look of panic. I think that tonight I will tell him the story of the little boy who cried wolf.

In other news.. Cole is now moving. More of an army crawl than a crawl at the moment. He is working on crawling on his knees though. Also he now has four almost five teeth, perfect for biting the fingers that feed him.

More later Cole is now "choking"
