Cole: 10 Months

Cole is 10 months! And it has been one filled month of new skills, new foods, new teeth and new fevers.

Cole is officially on the move.  He started crawling and that led to pulling up and cruising all over the place.  It's crazy how fast that all happened.  In Cole's new found freedom, I am still trying to adjust to the whole "be careful, he could be trying to open the oven" mindset.  Or headed to the stairs.  Or has the vacuum cord in his mouth.  You just never know.  

                                     

We also caught Cole standing in the crib... down to the lowest level he went.  He can still stand up, but at least his chances of catapulting over the edge is much less.

Cole is also starting to learn words and act on them now..which is so fun! It puts some purpose to me talking to myself all day! He can "share," give hugs and kisses, rub noses, clean up and sit down.  I love seeing him learn.

Cole gained two more teeth this month.  (Four total). We also survived his first virus.  That was rough.  Turns out that taking baths at 3 am aren't as much fun as in the early evening.  We didn't sleep a whole lot this month.

Cole continues to eat like a champion.  He loves to be in control, so finger foods and giant carrots are his favorites.  It is a huge mess, but also entertaining. 

I was trying to encourage Tom with a Bible verse one day...but the only way to keep Cole from eating the paper was to give him a carrot!

This boy loves to be outside!
