9 months old

Diaper Size: 3

Nicknames: 

Stats:

• Weight: 22.6lbs (90%)

Health: A healthy bouncing baby boy!

Sleep: He sleeps well, then he doesn't. Its a rollercoaster. He usually takes AWESOME naps during the day. He usually sleeps 9-11, 1-3, afternoon nap and bedtime at 6:30-7:30. It is the night time that is hard. Some nights he wakes up every 2 hours. But LAST night, he slept from 8-4! It was awesome, short feeding at 4 and then I woke him up at 7:30. I woke him up to make sure he could still be tired for his morning nap. 

Diet: He has been a pretty good eater! He eats anything besides Bananas. He breastfeeds 4-5 times a day. Then 3-4 times a night (which I just read my "bible" on healthy baby sleep habits, and hopefully we will lessen these, because this mama needs her sleep!)

Likes: 

• Loves to walk. I hold his hands and he walks everywhere. It is super exciting! 
• SPLASH in the tub. It is the laugh that makes me laugh!
• To pick at the smallest things on the floor. 
• Play with the shower drain.
• Opens mouth for kisses

Dislikes:

• Diet Coke.....Gram's in trouble. 

Milestones:

• He started ARMY CRAWLING! ....at Gram's house (she is very proud to that) (9.28.2016)
• Waves Good bye!
• Shakes his head NO, when we say No, No, No. (It is a funny game)
• Cole rode a motorcycle! He was expressionless and it was hilarious. He liked it but I think it was loud. 
• He mowed the lawn for the first time. 

Things I don’t want to forget:

• He scrunches his face and breathes in and out fast. Its hilarious! And he does it on command! Then when he walks, he does it loud and excessively! 
• He has a fake yell/scream. It makes us laugh. Him and his dad get in yelling matches. He gets shocked at how loud he yells. 
• If you put any finger food infront of him, he will stuff if ALL in his mouth. Definitely a little chipmunk. We have to put down a little at a time. He will start grunting and whining when you don't feed him fast enough. 
• When he is trying to poop, his face gets SO red!!! He battles constipation, so we have to give him prunes frequently! It is funny but sad. 
• Cali and him are buddies. She is gentle with him and he loves to play with her. He whacks a spoon on her and she will bite it and he will LAUGH LAUGH LAUGH!
• Speaking of whacking....Cole loves to slap daddy's face. It makes him laugh the uncontrollable laugh. Daddy makes funny noises with it which makes it extra funny.
• Likes to watch cartoons. He gets glued to the TV, when I call his name and distract him, he glares at me and then goes right back to the TV. HAHA
• He loves Jungle Book and any YouTube video. 
• Whenever you change his diaper, he loves to play with his weenie. 
• When we arrived at Gram's house, he was so overwhelmed by all the dogs (Cali, Dolly, and Diesel) They were running all around and he cried. Dolly scared him the most, I think because she is small, fast and loud. 
• Loves to watch people chew gum, it is so interesting and gives the most curious look. 

My baby skeleton. 

This is how I get anything done around the house. 

After Church selfie.

Just going to breakfast with my girlfriend. 

Then, the after breakfast nap in my girlfriend's bed time.

I was checking on Cole when he was napping and WAHBAM! freaked me out for a second.

This boy LOVES his food and I love his two little teeth. 

Oh hey there mom

Never ever won't stop kissing these cheeks.

HAHA! Daddy was waving a piece of paper infront of his face and I caught this picture! I asked people to caption it.
 Lauren Ingraham: "When the food is finally ready."
 Gram: "Praise Lord Jesus."
 Taylor Goodrich "My momma said fat kids can't smile...I sure proved her wrong."
Annie: "I've got this selfie thing down!"

His mohawk is getting so long!
