LOTS of pictures!

Well, I have a few excuses as to why I've been such a terrible blogger. Here's the best one, AND I don't think anyone can fault me for it...I would rather spend my time playing with Cole than posting! By the time I get home from work in the evenings I'd rather just snuggle with my baby boy, who, by the way, weighs over 19 lbs and is at least 26 inches long...that probably doesn't technically count as "little"!!

Since my little hiatus from the blogging world, we've experienced LOTS of firsts. Here's just a few of them:

• Lost most of his precious, brown, baby hair, and is growing a really light brown in its place! His hair practically looks blond! We don't know where he is getting the blond hair...hmmm, maybe I should have taken a better look at the mailman ;)
  
• Cole consistently sleeps through the night. He has since about 3 months, but now we go to bed at 9 and sleep until Mom and Dad have to leave for work!
  
• Cole started rolling over at about 4 months.


• He had his first solids. Man oh Man, does he LOVE his sweet potatoes and peas!


• He "talks" all the time. He really uses that little voice and constantly puts vowel and consonant sounds together.


• He had his first KISS! He's got good taste, too! His first kiss was from Riley Woody, my friend Melanie's precious little girl.


• Cole also took his first road trip. We traveled to Dallas for a weekend to meet up with friends. While in Dallas, Cole visited Del Frisco's - a white linen tablecloth type of restaurant, and he did fantastic!


• Cole is getting really great at sitting up. He is doing the "tripod" stance with his arms out in front, but for the most part he's got really good balance. It'll only be a matter of time before he's sitting up without support.


• He also really loves his bouncy seats. We've got one at home, but he REALLY likes the one Gee Gee and Poppa have at their house!

Well, without further adieu, here are some (a lot) of pictures of Cole. I hope you all enjoy them as much as we do!!
