COLE HAM
21 months old on October 16, 2006
Cole
is talking all the time and saying just about everything, though I may
be the only one who can understand him. He is really growing up fast now.
He tells me he is not a baby, he is a big boy. He still signs some words
and learns new signs too.
He has
the cutest rubber boots I found for him. they are lady bugs, with
googly eyes that stick up and antennae that stick up too. I'll have to
get a
photo of them. He has been wearing them everywhere. He can put them
on himself and take them off himself.
Not
only can Cole jump, which he does all the time, he skips. He is in
constant motion. He jumps all around the house, by himself or up on the
bed, or holding our hands. We dance and skip around the living room.
John
put Cole to bed twice this month! A miracle that hasn't happened since.
(cole ended up with a fever one night and then was nursing constantly
after that). That night, I told Cole I was going out and Dada was going
to go
to sleep with him. He said, bye bye, gave me a big hug and a kiss on the
mouth,
on the forehead and on the nose :) life is great.
Cole may have had the chicken pox since three of his friends have come
down with it.
That may be why he had a fever. We don't know for sure. He was exposed
three times
by kids who came down with them. After the fever he seemed to be showing
signs of
teething again. I guess, he still has some molars that need to come down?
One
night after a long night of hourly nursing and waking up, Cole woke up
ready
to go, saying Mama up, Mama up. I told him I was very tired and needed
to wake
up slow. Once I got out of bed, I turned around and he was gone, back
in a minute
he had my slippers in his hand and put them on the floor in front of me.
Isn't he the
sweetest thing. I said thanks and gave him a big hug, and he patted my
back.
For Halloween, we talked to Cole about what he might want
to dress up as.
He kept changing his mind between a bunch of animas, cow, cat, dog. But
he finally decided on Dada cow since then he could have horns. John made
a great costume complete with horns. Cole barely wore it, of course. On
Halloween we went to a friends house for dinner and hung out. He put the
costume on 5 minutes before we left (that is the one photo below) and
we
also went to another party where he reluctantly wore it for a short time.
the horns were a little big and fell off his head. But he looked so cute.
One afternoon we came home for lunch and a nap. We went
to the fridge
and he picked out something to eat and then picked a fork from the drawer.
He ran into the living room and sat on his little couch smiling and saying"eat".
I told him we were going to eat at the table, we can't eat in the living
room.
He came to the table an d signed "silly" meaning he was being
silly. He was
silly the rest of the afternoon.
