9 MONTHS!

Cole is 9 months old today, hard to believe. I will post his height and weight after his check up today! He is getting to be such a big boy! He is really a good baby and such a joy to have in our lives. We are looking forward to our first Christmas with the little man!











Can't forget Beretta... she likes her picture taken too!

Rocking Horse

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth...

Cole is teething again... One big tooth on top is through... looks like the second is not far behind. Hurry up teeth so crabby Cole can go away :)

SANTA!!!!!

Santa stopped by for a visit today. The kids were not sure what to think. Cole's friends LLeyton and Ragen were over to see santa too!
Cole's friend Lleyton... he is not sure what to think.
Beretta loved Santa!

Cole's friend Ragen... she cried when Santa walked in the door!


"I am glad he is gone... I sure do like the candy cane he gave me"

I am trying not to cry....

Mashed Potatoes... no thanks!

House Alarm?!

Here are a few photos to update you. Cole is growing so fast. The other day I walked in his room and he was STANDING in his crib. I thought you are too little to be doing that already. Good thing I had Jason lower the mattress the other day! He is still just as fun as ever.

Last night before we went to bed I told Jason I set the alarm... he must have been zoning and not heard me because about 30 minutes later he accidentally set the alarm off by opening up the door... Cole slept through it and never even moved, and it is really loud! Then around 5 AM it went off again while we were sleeping, this is the first time it has gone off by itself since we had it installed 2 years ago. Boy was I glad Jason was home, I would have been freaking out otherwise. Jason checked everything out and did not see any intruders, thank god! The alarm was triggered by the glass break in the garage so something must have made a noise to make it go off. Very scary for me.... again Cole never even woke up! And he slept in until 8:30 today, he must have been a tired boy!

PS I am still exhausted. My body thinks it should be up all night and sleep all day. I fall asleep hard and by 1am I am wide awake for 2-5 hours and then I am tired during the day and I have not even worked in the last 7 nights! I usually have no problems sleeping so I hope my body goes back to normal soon! Jason let me sleep in until 12:30 yesterday, it felt wonderful, but I could have kept sleeping all day! Hopefully tonight will be a better night and I wont have to count sheep!

After thanksgiving meal... he did not like "real" sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes.

Catch up...

Sorry it has been so long since I updated, I should have done it sooner since I have been off all week, but there just are not enough hours in the day!

1) Friday night Beretta ate rat poison, Jason had to take her to the emergency vet where they made her throw up and then fed her charcoal to absorb the rest of the rat poison. $250 dollars later she was fine and thanks Wendy for "babysitting" both Cole and Beretta overnight on Friday (It was holiday pay for Jason so he really did not want to call in sick) and we had to watch Beretta for bleeding or neurological changes. She did "slip" down the stairs once that night but we will blame that on her normal clumsiness.
2) I am still exhausted from my work weeked last weekend.
3) Cole got a runny nose on Sunday, we thought it was teething. By Tuesday my mom, dad, and I all had a cold... I think his was a cold too. Poor guy! No upper teeth yet, but I still have a feeling they are coming.
4) Cole and I power shopped on Wed and got almost all of our shopping done, not that we have that many people to shop for. He was a very good boy all day, we went to 3 different malls and about 4 other stops in between. He was having so much fun he decided not to eat the whole day, crazy boy. Despite my many efforts to feed him there was just too much he was afraid he was going to miss, by the end of the day I was a hurting unit... should have brought my pump with I guess... TMI (Too much information)?
5) Cole learned how to bite... in not so nice places... TMI again?
6) Did I mention I am exhausted???
7) Cole is very active. He can scoot forwards and back, roll, jump, he can get to where he wants. Daddy we need those baby gates up now! Usually when I shower I put him on a blanket on the bathroom floor with some toys to play with. I used to put him in the bouncy chair, but recently he has a fascination with whatever is under the bouncy chair and leans over the side to find out... yes they can tip! So this morning he was all over the bathroom and ended up half way in the shower! Crazy boy!
8) Cole puts on a show in public, he acts like this sweet calm baby, but when you get him home it is crazy time, he never stops moving.
9) Did I mention he can also do "So big." You know when you say " How big is Cole?" and he puts his hands above his head and we say "So big!"... the joys a mother has in the small things a child learns :)
10)Now that you are all updated, our plans for the weekend are to spend some quality time with friends/neighbors and eachother this weekend and hopefully get a Christmas tree too!
