Cole at 9 Months

Well it's official ... Cole has now been "out" longer than he was "in".

Some FYI about our 9 month old:

• Cole is now 22 pounds and 28 1/2 inches
• He is not mobile but wants to go EVERYWHERE
• His favourite snack is Cheerios
• Cole LOVES Baby Einstein and to listen to "his" stereo
• He has 5 ... almost 6 teeth

First Haircut

Cole got his first haircut on Saturday. His coif was beginning to look like hockey hair, which is just not so cool on a baby.

On Sunday I decided to try and get a picture of his new hairdo since Cole was dressed up so nicely to attend his friend Kaleb's birthday party. Of course there is no way the little munchkin wanted to cooperate, but here are a few pictures I did snap in my attempt. Hey I even tried puppets and a Tickle Me Elmo without success.

Cole At 8 Months

Cole turned 8 months on Sunday. Our little man is definitely growing up. In the last month Cole has gained a mouthful of teeth, began eating Cheerios (or at least the one's he doesn't end up wearing), makes clicking sounds with his tongue, and waves hello and goodbye. He has also began saying "Ma ma" pretty regularly, sometimes intentionally and sometimes not. Don't worry Daddy isn't left out. Today Cole began crying whenever Daddy would leave for work. "Isn't Daddy supposed to stay home and play with me ALL day?" Oh wait ... that's Mommy's job!
