4 months!

Our big boy is SO big!!  He is 23 pounds!! His little personality is starting to emerge and we're loving  it. He's full of giggles and smiles and is such an easy guy to have around!  Cole does not have good nights so I'm up a lot with him- sometimes for hours! He gets very congested at night so I'm thinking I should try giving up dairy and see if that helps. I'm definitely ready to sleep again!

We've been so busy this past month that I haven't taken many pictures. I did get this video of Cal playing with Cole. Poor little guy is already getting used to the rough play he's bound to experience more of!!


Future praise musicians!

Corinne and her good friend Maddie LOVE to create music together. I thought this was so sweet.

3 months!


This little guy is 3 months and growing growing growing!! Last week's scale reading said 22lbs!!!  He's in size 3 diapers, (although Clara's 5's for him just fine) and he fits in 6-12 month clothing.


He is adored by all the other kiddos. Calvin especially loves holding him!!


We're getting lots of smiles, but I haven't caught any good ones on camera yet.


I love all the sleepy cuddles!




Cole still does a lot of sleeping! 


Cole's nights are not fantastic as he is getting too strong to stay swaddled, but wakes himself up from flailing! He goes to bed between 9-10 and is usually up again by two. After that he may sleep until 5 or 6- or he may be up more! 

I haven't putting any effort into getting him on a schedule of any sort yet- so that is probably part of the problem. 

Cole doesn't do much crying and is a happy little guy most of the time!  With 4 others running around, I have to remind myself to just stop and cuddle him sometimes. I know it's going to go fast so we need to soak up as much as we can.
