Cole and Casey

Cole is 10 months old today and trying to fit as much as he possibly can into each day. Cole is always on the go. Be it at school or at home, Cole is not one to sit still and observe. He is constantly curious about new things and always in a state of exploration.

This past month saw two milestones for Cole. He has turned the "pull up" into "cruisin'", whereby he will pull himself up using whatever is convenient (couch, end table, chair etc) and then proceeds to make his way down the length of or around the item in question while holding on to it. Mom and Dad will often motivate him with Puffs or Cheerios. More recently Cole has begun to let go of his safety net and if left standing for a split second before he plops down on his backside.

The second accomplishment has taken Cole almost exclusively off of baby food and into the realm of finger food. Cole enjoys feeding himself such delicacies as chicken, turkey, mac and cheese, green beans, vegetable medley and a wide assortment of other foods. We are still working on increasing the percentage of food that ends up in Cole's mouth rather than on the floor but that will come in time (and if Cooper the dog has any influence it will be a gradual process).

As always... here is the updated look back at 10 months
