Cole and Casey

Cole is 11 months old today and heading full speed towards the one year mark. This past month, Cole has been taking all the accomplishments of months past and improving on them.

He is now a master at "crusin" (walking with the help of a static object - couch, table etc). Mom and Dad have been placing objects at the opposite side of the table or couch in an effort to make Cole "work for it". :) In a feat that seemed unfathomable a month ago, Cole seems to have actually increased his crawling speed. While he is not quite pulling off a 4.4 40, he could very well be approaching the land speed record in the under 1 year old category. Leave a door open, a remote control near the edge of the table or Cooper, the dog's food within reach and Cole will be there in mear seconds. Lucky for us, Cole gets excited when heading for whatever it is he desires and starts to laugh and verbally express his excitement as he turns on the afterburners which tends to blow his cover, once he goes stealth we will all be in trouble.



Other milestones for the month include the addition of the wave hello / goodbye, the long awaited "high-five" (which makes Dad so happy), as well as, the appearance of Cole's top two teeth (4 1/2 months after the first two came in Christmas day). Cole has also completed the full transition off of baby food and on to real food. He really enjoys chicken, grilled turkey melts and as we recently discovered LOVES Enchiladas.



We are now counting down the days to Cole's first birthday and continuing to enjoy every day we have with him!!
