I am finally getting to the update. Sorry, it has been a crazy two weeks with getting back in the swing of things. On Monday we went for Cole's 4 month check up. He had to get his shots, which are no fun for anyone. I hate having to hold him and watch him go from happy go lucky to total red faced and screaming. Thank goodness it didn't last long. Of course they checked his height and weight, which he was off the charts for both! He was 19 lbs and 27 inches long. Dr. Mishu said "proportionate and perfect!" She said he should slow down, I guess we will see :) Then on Tuesday Cole started daycare at Madison Church of Christ, Creator's kids program. He has 4 other little kids in his class (Annabelle, Macy, Micah and Harold) and 3 teachers (Mrs. Darlene, Mrs. Kristin and Ms. Tiffany). They all loved him and said how sweet and good he was-apparently he didn't show his true colors! ha! No, I know that Cole is a very good baby. We are blessed in many ways with him.

Another first for Cole was rice cereal and prunes! he has also had bananas now too! When we went to the doctor she said that if Cole was drinking a full bottle and still hungry or hungry before 3 hours, then we could try some rice cereal and fruits and/or vegetables with him. I didn't think we would be trying it as soon as we did because he had not been eating as much lately, but apparently daycare wore him out. His first day at daycare, well that night, it was like I could not feel him up. He loved it! He had that tongue out and laughing and talking to me the whole time. He was such a little Goober. So funny!

We also had some visits with some friends before school started back. I guess I should back up a minute...The last week in July, Cole got to meet his new buddy, Grady. Grady's mom Bethany and I use to work together and the boys were born 5 days apart, Cole on the 13th and Grady on the 18th. It was so fun to watch them together. I also have a friend from college, Heather who had a little boy, Hooper. Hooper is 11 weeks older than Cole. How fun to have all the little boys together!

Cole is ready for football season! Well, Casey is, so we had to see if the gear was going to fit. Then he looked adorable so we had to take some pictures! A friend of Casey's who is an Alabama fan commented on the picture and said that "Cole made Arkansas gear look good." Casey also sent in the picture on some Arkansas website and they added it to the page and sent something back to Casey saying thanks for sending us a picture of a future Razorback!

This is his bumbo chair. It makes him look so big to me, but he loves it. It is a great little chair to use all the time. It even has a tray on it that we have used a few times. What a great invention. I can just take it anywhere and Cole can hang out with me in his chair. As you can see from the picture I just put him on the kitchen counter while I was cooking. He was such a good helper.

These next few pictures just make me smile :) Cole is getting so big. We really are just enjoying every moment with him. He is SO funny. He is all about his tongue and his feet right now. These next few pictures capture that completely. I cannot wait to see the fun and joy that we will experience next month with him.
Here is a small clip of Cole having cereal and prunes for the first time!
