Cole is Five Months Old!

I'm a little late posting Cole's five month pics, but I haven't had much time lately with trying to get ideas ready for our new house!  We should be breaking ground within the next couple of weeks, if we could only agree on which direction the house should be! Anyway, Cole is growing like a weed....a big chunky weed.  He loves to laugh, especially at Chase.  He's officially in 6-9 month clothes. I just can't squeeze him in any more 6 month outfits, even as hard as I try.  We are still having trouble with a nap schedule and he has just started sleeping 11-12 hours per night, Hallelujah!  He's still a good boy at daycare and the church nursery.  He eats 8 oz at a time, still spitting up just as bad as if he just ate 6 oz.  We've tried sweet potatoes, which I made and froze, but he just seems to not be ready for food yet.  He weighs in at a whopping 18 pounds!  I'm officially done with the carrier, just can't hold that thing with him anymore.

Chase turns 3!

Wow, how time flies.  Even in the last two weeks just trying to post about Chase's 3rd Birthday.  Can't believe how much he has grown in the past year.  Not only is he now 34 pounds and 37 inches tall, he is pretty much potty trained and talking so much more.  He has said some pretty cute stuff lately, I should write down more than I do, but it just gets away from me.  We started Chase's Birthday Celebrations a couple of weeks early, just to spread out the celebrations, (and also to bribe Chase at times to be good or go in the potty.)  Mimi and I took Chase to All Aboard restaurant in Little Rock followed by the Museum of Discovery.  We met a college friend of mine with her 2 1/2 year old there and watched the train deliver our food.  Chase loves choo-choos and I thought this would be a great treat for him.  I was a bit disappointed in the train though, especially since we have Stoby's and he can watch a train circle the restaurant multiple times.  The food was good though and it was good to see our friends, too.  We then went to the Museum.  They have a little kids area which Chase could of stayed and played in all day long.  He even played a little dress up in the theatre.  He put on a cheerleader outfit and when I told him it was a girl's outfit, he just had to take it off, but not before I got a pic.  He's gonna hate me when he's sixteen and finds out all the pics I took.  We left the museum and went by Sonic for happy hour and i got him a green apple slush.  He loved it and said it was "so two-licious!"  over and over. 

Here comes our food by train!

Watch out! I'm steering the ship!

You're so funny, Mimi!

Well, that was the first of the Birthday festivities.  We still had a cake at Maw-maws's, a party at school, and a big Pirate Party at home. Guess i'll eventually get those on the blog later.

Cole is Four Months Old!

I'm a little late getting some posts about recent events, but better late than never.  First, Cole turned four months old on February 27th.  He's growing fast! Already 16 lbs 1 oz.  He doesn't look fat at all, he's just solid.  He eats 6 oz in each bottle about 6 times per day.  We tried rice cereal for the first time, and he hated it.  When I look at it, it just reminds me of spit up, so it's pretty gross. I don't blame him for not liking it. 

Hey, What u doin?

Cole is Three Months Old!

On Friday, Cole turned three months old.  It wouldn't seem like it has gone so fast except for the fact he's about the size of a 5-6 month old.  He already weighs between 14 and 15 pounds!  He's becoming more aware of his surroundings, laughing and smiling a lot, and they say his great at day care.  On a bad note, he's had three mild ear infections already.  We have to.go back Tuesday to make sure the infection is gone...hopefully we'll still have a little while before visiting the ENT doctor.  He goes to bed around 7pm and usually sleeps to about 4 or 5 am.  He's becoming dependent on a pacifier which is a little strange since Chase never would take one.  Just one more thing to keep up with.  Just a few pics:

We close on our house on Thursday and then four intense days of moving into a rent house. It will be hectic for a while, but I'm so excited to get started on building our house soon!

Cole is Two Months Old!

Can't believe my baby is two months old already.....his smiles melt my heart. 

On the downside, that means I'm about to have to go back to work. Not looking forward to that at all.  I don't know how I'll be able to handle the housework, grocery shopping, cooking, getting up at 5 am to feed Cole, and getting both boys to daycare, while having a full day of work.  Guess we'll just have to figure everything out as it comes. 

Did a little photo editing to make a picture like I saw on Pinterest:

Wish my ring was a little more in focus, but I Love this idea! 

I've got a lot of crafting to do since I discovered Pinterest. Never know when I'll have time to do anything.  My first thing to make off the site was a pumpkin trifle for Thanksgiving.  It was just okay....a friend of mine had the idea to put cream cheese/sugar in a layer and it tasted like a pumpkin roll. 

I need to post about Christmas since it was two days before Cole was two months....but I guess I'll save that for another time.  Cole is about to wake up.....
