First Trip

Well, it was just to Alabama, but Cole did so good. We went June 17th-19th. It was so nice to have everyone all together. It had been way to long. Julie and Bert hosted there annual BBQ (Saturday, June 18th) and everyone showed up. It was Jeff and Whitney, Carrie, Zac and Aubrey (left early because poor Aubrey got sick), Adam and Shelley, Emily and Tyler, Shea and Todd, Elizabeth and Kevin, Shaviny and Stan, Regan and Dave, Amber and Morgan and then us of course! Cole was the guest of honor :) Everyone was so excited to see him. It was so good to see everyone as well. It is so funny to see everyone together with kids now!!
I guess we are growing up! hahahaha Here are the kiddos minus poor Aubrey.


We also transitioned Cole to his room/crib when we got back from Alabama. I had really been hoping to do it sooner, but his room is upstairs and our attic was messed up and leaking hot air so Casey had to fix it (which he is never in a hurry to fix anything :) so it took about a month for him to do. Oh well, it is done and Cole has moved in! Apparently he LOVES his bed too! The first night he slept in his bed he slept for 8 hours straight!!! I was not holding my breath that it would last, but it did, well it actually got better. The next night he slept for 10 hours! and that is what he has been doing now for the last week. He goes down around 8:15/30 pm and sleeps until 6:30 am. We cannot ask for better than that. Now we just hope he stays to this schedule.

He loves to smile these days. He is smiling all the time. He has the chunkiest little cheeks too. You can just eat him up with his cute little laugh and smile. We are having the best time with him.

2 Months

Can you believe it? Cole was 2 months old on Monday. We went to the doctor for his "well visit". Dr. Mishu said he looked "perfect", that is what she always says. She is really funny. Cole was 14lbs 10oz. and 24 1/2 inches long. His weight put him in the 95% and his height put him in the 90%. He is a funny little boy. He has started smiling and cooing now. It is so fun to see him "talking" and smiling at you. His sleep has definitely improved. He has not stuck with the 7 hours. He is a more consistent 5 hour sleeper, which I will take over what he was doing for sure (barely 3 hours). This has been a busy week. I went back to work for a few days this week while my mom watched Cole, Casey is in a training all week in Bell Buckle, TN (about an hour a way), and Casey and I had our 8 year anniversary on June 14th. It has been good though. Going back to work the first day was good. It was really good to see my co-workers. It seemed like forever since I had seen everyone. I am just working 6 days this month doing professional development. I can make a little extra money, plus it is good practice for being gone all day and seeing how that is going to work in August. We are going to Alabama this weekend to see "the gang". Julie is having her annual summer BBQ to get everyone together. We are really looking forward to it. This will be our first time back to Alabama since having Cole, well since the beginning of March at the shower. It will be good to see everyone. I am curious to see how it goes...the car ride, spending the night away from home, and just having a different schedule. I will have to post and let you know. Here are a few pictures from the last month.
