Update

Cole is in bed and Jared is working late. I thought this would be the perfect time to finally update on everything that Cole has been doing. He is turning into a funny funny little boy. He loves to go up to glass and blow raspberries on it. Pretty much all my windows have Cole mouth prints on it.
The other day I was laying on the couch in his play room the other day and he came up to the couch. He stood up, looked at me and just started bouncing, kinda like "pick me up mama!" So I couldn't resist and he snuggled. Then we started playing. We layed on the couch making each other laugh. It was so cute. He would laugh harder because I was laughing. It was one of those moments you don't want to end.

So, he is becoming even more independent then ever. He likes to play with his toys without any help. Although when his walker gets stuck...boy does he get mad until someone helps him!! He plays by himself for like 20 minutes. He just crawls into his play room and plays with his toys. This will come in handy when the baby gets here.

He now says "mama, dada, baba" and as of last week "bye." He waves when he sees someone or leaves. He "talks" all the time. Seriously!! He is always making a noise. I joke that the only time he says mama is when he wants something or me. It's usually more in a whine:) They start out young.

He is walking around by himself with anything he can like a champ. And today he started standing by himself!! I have a feeling he will be walking before I know it. It makes me kinda sad because that is the last of the baby stages:( He is growing up so fast. He even has FOUR teeth. 2 on top and 2 on bottom. He reminds me he has them when he bites me all the time.

Table foods are a whole new thing to him. He isn't a fan of them still. So far he likes:
-Toast
-Wheat waffles
-Cheese
-Mac and cheese
-Spaghetti
-Ham
-Ravioli
-Crackers.....

Now do you see my problem. We've tried fruits, veggies, and other deli meats. I have a bad feeling he is going to be picky like Jared and I:/ I really try and offer him something new all the time, but usually it's a no go. I guess that's all I can keep doing is try.

So, I'm sure there are a million things I'm missing but I thought I would leave you with some recent pics of my little man.

He LOVES his books

His spaghetti smirk:)

His new favorite thing is pulling EVERYTHING off the shelves.....

Watching daddy shovel us out of the snow

I got photo paper and my dad built a stand. Here are a few trials with it.

He's such a little stud
