Cole's First Halloween

Cass worked this Halloween. Dalmatian Cole and I came to visit. We love to visit Dad at work because he loves to show Cole off. All his co-workers LOVE Cole. They asked if Cole could stay and be the 5th man on the engine. 

I get a text from Annalee while we were there saying "There was a sequence of events but ill jump to the punch line....I was doing a sprint at 8.0 and dolly was jealous and jumped on the treddy.... and sling shotted down the track into the wall!! After doing a neuro assessment and checking her vitals she seems to not have suffered any major damages besides a slight skid mark on her hair (skins okay) #lifeofdolly

Cass and I were laughing then it was Cass's idea to recreate it with Dalmatian Cole. Haha

Winning the hearts of the fireman

My baby and his blue eyes :) Melt my heart.

This mama is so lucky.

Okay, freaking adorable! He is such a cute puppy!

Those bottom teeth and chubby cheeks.

Visiting Daddy is always fun. Happy Halloween!

Up North to fill up Gram's well.

We went up North to visit Gram. It had been almost 2 months since she has seen him and she was dying to see him! So we packed up the car and left for a few days. I love going home to see family but it sure is hard to leave! LUCKILY William came home with us! He is a life saver! He drove most the way and is just the biggest help!

Haha being mean showing off his two little teeth.

Cole's first motorcycle ride. He was expressionless, which was hilarious. He was a little tired, the bike was pretty loud, but I personally think he loved it!

Uncle William was actually the FIRST one to take him for a ride!

Love this baby. 

Hung out at Shelby's house with my Dixie Chicks. I love catching up with these girls!

Baby Benson and Cole. Benson is 3 months old and Cole is 8 months.

Rockin the hawk.

This is the high chair at Gram's house. It was made for dolls and its holding my 22.6 lb baby. AWH! haha

HAHA I've been waiting so long to paint a pumpkin on his bum. It's so cute! Pictures to follow....

Love these girls. We went to a chalk class that had a lunch and a free round chalkboard! It was so fun, I love talking/hanging out with these two.

Heyyyyyy Daddy, answer your phone.

Arghhh Matey.

Standing up watching Cali.

My mom and her plastic baby. I thought Cole would replace her but.....now he just tells her secrets.

Hipster baby

This hat was adorable and I didn't buy it! I regretted it, but I went home and order a Boston Red Sox one. That will make daddy proud!

Visited Gram at work. Cole was being such a flirt to everyone. It was adorable, he was laughing at lunch. Apparently get didn't get enough....looking for more. Haha

Hanging with my Aunt Annalee, she is pretty funny!

It was Norah's first birthday party! She was a Merbabe and her party was so adorable! It was well decorated. Oh and Cole weighs 3 pounds more than Norah and they are 4 months apart! ha crazy. 

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!
